Comments on: Certified Appraisers Up but Total Number of Appraisers Down https://appraisersblogs.com/appraisal/certified-appraisers-at-all-time-high-but-total-number-of-appraisers-continues-to-decrease/ Appraisal News and Tips for Real Estate Appraisers Mon, 23 May 2022 01:58:43 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: J W https://appraisersblogs.com/appraisal/certified-appraisers-at-all-time-high-but-total-number-of-appraisers-continues-to-decrease/#comment-13223 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:56:49 +0000 http://appraisersblogs.com/?p=4445#comment-13223 It is interesting to me that the trends are taken from a time when the certified appraiser requirement took affect which makes this whole topic pretty much toilet paper and a flawed analysis. If you want to determine trends you shouldn’t take them from a point when there was a mandate. That is like analyzing how many people decided to buy health insurance from the time Obamacare was implicated.

Remember years ago when the AI said there were “growth opportunities” for appraiser assisted AVMs, and they then went on to promote them? How’d that work out for everybody?

I’ve said it numerous times before. The focus of the AI and (apparently) TAF & IVSC is to merge the two disciplines of real estate appraisal and business valuation into one overall “valuation profession”. Real estate appraisers had better become sufficiently familiar with BV to understand WHY this is not a good idea. The BV valuators already know why they don’t want to be constrained by USPAP.

Most real estate appraisers eyes glaze over the second Business Valuation is mentioned. If they do not start  paying attention, we will all have new names AND a new set of “standards” that few will like. That will be the LEAST of the negatives.

ES Valuation just kicked thousands of appraisers in the face with ample help from Chase bank and the Florida court system. I think most young people should steer clear of this business until the darkness goes away which appears to be several years down the line.

LOL

In reality residential will no longer be needed for transactions 10 years from now (which explains why the government has no problem with the situation).
