A Bollito Misto, so to speak, forced on the appraisal industry by the incompetents at the Appraisal Institute and Polotical Breaugrats, except that no amount of simmering is going to improve the flavor. Get a grip, get educated and stop working for slave wages.

I take a different view. I’d say appraisers are now “analysts”. It’s the melding of technology with local area expertise.

Remember. Opportunity presents itself at the most inopportune times.

Not to worry you guys but someone took the appraiser out of the appraisal profession without your knowing it. Somewhere along the line you’ve been transformed from analysts to whipping boys to form fillers (and they will tell you exactly how the form will be filled as of January 2015).

Do the words “involuntary servitude” come to mind appraisers? Unfortunately Abe Lincoln has left the building.

UAD is the end of our Profession as we know it – good or bad. My son followed me into the mire 15 years ago. The first week of UAD I told him this was the beginning of the end. Clairvoyant? Nope – realistic. We have hung on to our old ways for a long time when you step back and take a look at other professions – say stock brokers. The age of data has had little influence on us except for making completing reports faster and easier. Now for the rest of the story.
