These state based organizations are hit and miss. Despite several rounds to drum up support from my CO group, response was basically absent.

I’d appreciate a national group where we can all get together, share info, have a central source for petitions and letters.

Nothing legal, just a large group with a central email list, so all appraisers could stay better updated.

Aside from this blog, there is no central location for appraisal information which is not beholden to a major lender, amc’s, insurance, or other for profit company interest. This blog is literally it, and is reflective of the state of the appraisal industry. Absolutely everyone else is self promoting with biased interests somewhere up the ladder.

I agree with the article. We need to support our professional organizations. Each one has their strengths and weaknesses and it is difficult to chose. Some are costly to join and maintain your membership. I like that we see information from coalitions being shared and we have podcasts like Voice of Appraisal and the one Dustin Harris does. Platforms like Appraisersblogs, that allow not just organizations to share, but individual appraisers as well, have been instrumental in helping appraisers unite. We all have similar, if not the same issues. I wish the national organizations could be more transparent on what they are doing for the industry. It seems a lot are silent on many of the issues the coalitions are undertaking. I don’t understand how they (the national organizations) expect to grow and gain support if they remain silent. Seems a bit backwards in my mind.

Thank you VaCAP for being transparent. The information you share is helpful to many throughout the country.

Thank you Appraisersblogs, for giving us a platform to share.

Thank you to all the great people working and volunteering their time to make this industry better.
