In reply to Marion.

Normally expected rules and laws do not apply in the real estate appraisal industry. It’s dog eat dog, anything goes, no effective oversight of this entire industry segment of real estate. If you can get away with it, it’s virtually legal and nobody enforces existing laws anyways. If you’re not constrained by an appraisers license, you do what you want in the realm of real estate appraisal without any fear of consequences or reprisal. If you have a license, you can get away with the same thing if you’re protected under the umbrella of some lender or amc management if you’re an employee. Only individually licensed appraisers without representation have to comply with anything.

A service can only be deemed legitimate, if they can bill for it separately and people in the free market still choose to pay for it.

Wouldn’t the fest be in competition with Joan’s Expo? If so, wouldn’t such slanderous comments be against some kind of anti-competitive law someplace???

Just a thought.

Good reminder Pat. Trice’s comments speak for themself, just as Earnie Durbin’s constantly dropping “Can’t be sold or offered for sale in America” stock prices keep dropping like a rock in a pond. $0.045 a share still?

Agree re coalitions for purely state appraisal issues. National or federal policies need organizations with national clout. American Guild of Appraisers; ASA/NAIFA, AI, and half a dozen more ‘specialty’ groups for Right of Way; Ag or rural expertise).

Out of all the possible organizations for appraisers to join, there is only ONE that will have the individual appraiser’s back in dealing with state complaints; blacklisting, AMC coercion and even non payment of invoices…The American Guild of Appraisers!

Appraisers should get REALLY LOUD once 20,000 appraiser wannabes and ex appraisers flood the market after the education requirements changed.

I had to laugh at the line: “Be Proud Of What You Do”.
Were they referring to sitting on your thumbs and grumbling about your pitiful situation rather than actually FIGHTING FOR YOUR CAREERS?

Joan quotes, ”he hates all AMC’s but needs their money”. I would like to remind everyone that it’s not the AMC’s money, it’s the borrowers money!! The AMC is just a middleman, or at least that’s the way it’s supposed to be. This whole system has become such a bastardized joke. Lunatic Fringe!!

Lets not forget there are plenty of players who want to silence our voices and don’t want to know the truth. After a couple of years of commenting (+/- 1,500), and with 600+ upvotes, HousingWire has flagged my account as SPAM. Not only will they not allow new comments, but they took the extra step to go back in time to label many of my past comments as spam (erasing of history). Instead of reading my comments as filtered through a boots on the ground professional appraiser to perhaps hear from the other side, they have chosen to silence the voice of opposition and continue to offer their propaganda. You should be ashamed HousingWire.

Keep seeking & spreading the truth.

You know the results of that Tri-Star hearing was really refreshing. Those on that panel were very wise in the decision they made. Perhaps it’s time to get those same people as well as a representative from REVAA, CoreLogic, the ASA, and a satisfactory sample of coalition Representatives together in one room and try to Hash this shit out for once and for all. I nominate Joan Trice to pull it all together since she is on both sides of the fence. What do you say Joan?

You’ve been radicalized now. It’s quite similar to the founding of this country. We’re not going to roll over and just take it any longer.

Well let’s just leave Joan Trice alone. She will get what is coming to her in the end. When the AMC fiasco implodes law enforcement will be there waiting.

Just remember they don’t want the little guys, they always go after the big dogs. And who is it that organizers CRN? Who is it that allows meetings behind closed doors? Who is that always publishes AMC propaganda? Who is it that published an article in her publication by an amc owner who publically admitted to promoting fraud? Who is it that allows people that claim to be appraisers (who actually are drunks that run around naked and defecate in peoples yards) write articles for her? Who is that implanted her sister into a company that is defrauding the US Government? Who is it that issued an award to an employees of that very same company?

Lets leave Joan Trice alone, for now. We will have plenty of time for that when she is wearing an orange jump suit for 15-20 years.

Joan Trice has created the breeding ground for the corporate vipers and has played a large role in damaging the livelihoods and financial well-being of thousands of hard-working appraisers AND their families. It’s as simple as that.

Excellent post Pat! Agree 1000%, we are being heard and we are getting louder.

A few days ago, Joan Trice commented on AF attacking the Appraiserfest and Phil Crawford. JT is one of those “who are in this for only their associational profiteering”. I just loved how appraisers responded to her.

Joan Trice said:

“That is without a doubt the most crass, juvenile post I have ever witnessed. Why the personal attacks on Danny’s character? I am going to hope and pray that the group of “radical fringe” Appraisers is very small and all congregate right here and stop it. Enough already. Phil gets tossed out of another conference for hosting a panel where he sabatages his panelists . Now he holds a hatefest and expects you to pay good money to attend a cult meeting. He hates all AMCs yet needs their money. Who in their right mind would sponsor such an event? You are worshiping false idols.”

“I didn’t hear any personal attacks. Humor as embarrassing as it may be..absolutely.

Juicy Joan. What’s not true? That Ernie Durbin of Clarocity didn’t recently win your Expo Valuation Visionary award? That your sister doesn’t work for Clarocity? That Clarocity is sinking faster than the Titanic? That Servicelinks fulfilled their responsibility to shred personal documents ?

Feel free to refute any of what Phil said. Otherwise there is no reason and it’s very unprofessional of YOU to call the Appraiser Fest a Hateful “radical fringe cult meeting.”

Besides, do you not expect Appraisers to pay good money to attend your own festival of idols?

PS. Your business models CRN, your Expo events, CB etc would not exist without AMC membership participation $ so just cut to the chase about WHO it is that needs AMCs to survive”
