Amen, Jim a contemporary and myself bid the same job, He accepted half payment down, I quoted full payment to start, he never got the other half. My old boss, “Al” taught me a bunch, some of which I had to relearn.

Been working with Verizon on blocking them. They are definitely scam artist and not an AMC. They are masking the real location from where their email-text comes from so you can’t block them, yet, so these are sophisticated scammers, per Verizon.

My phone blocks such incoming texts if I just type “STOP”.

I have an android phone. In upper right corner of the message are 3 dots – click it – than click option to block

Were you able to figure out how to block their texts, if received on your cell ? I have no idea how they got my information … Thanks

Does anyone no how to BLOCK the Appraiser Point texts asking to join ??? I’m getting tired of deleting or ignoring, etc.

Most texts can be blocked .. these guys have figured a way around preventing block ?

Interesting – above was from yesterday’s research. Today it is a parked for free site on godaddy.com

appraisalpoint.com

Ken, it appears that appraisal point is not actually a bonafide company, but rather a domain name that is being offered for sale by a company called SEDO. Go to AppraisalPoint.com and you will see there is no contact address or names, no physical address, and no company history. What there is, is a link on the right side of the web site saying “this domain may be for sale’. Click the link. It IS for sale.

It appears that 2 or 3 groups have managed to get listed on their site. Perhaps for free. Perhaps not-in order to make it appear like it is a real, viable appraiser information website.

It is not.

Exactly Vincent. CoreLogic now has a monopoly, leading to appraiser extinction. Worse, many even paid them to provide data from other sporaisers, which simply strengthens their position into full AVM for lenders. They won’t need to sell software to appraisers because they will sell AVM services directly to lenders. And now the new $400K appraisal threshold approved for residential.

Appraiser Point is not the topic worthy of discussion! Anyone know how to block appraiser point texts?!!

Don’t stop at threatening to turn them in. Turn them in for license verification and harassment. If they aren’t licensed in your state, turn them in to District Attorney or County Prosecutor’s Office.

I just went to a meeting where a rep from VA, Freddie Mac, and Fannie Mae were speaking. The VA and Freddie Mac reps do not want this to go through. The Fannie Mae rep was saying take it or leave it we don’t care. It was also made very clear to all of us that when the market crashes we will be held liable. Another person said that we were only worried about our paycheck. No! I am worried about the market. I own a house. I care about how others are doing. I do not want the housing market to crash even harder this time. It makes me sick.

I then spoke to real estate agent that takes photos of homes for a mortgage company that does desktop appraisals. He said that they offer to only pay $15. Why are we going in this direction?

I also need to see the house, neighborhood, next door neighbors to see if it in great condition or dilapidated.

I predict a whole lot of desktop appraisers are going to be losing their license when all is said and done.

Full circle with the snake oil salesman again people.

Yep, no questions asked…..just a visit to their physical office and will get a refund after a couple of butt whippings!!

Am I guaranteed a certain number of appraisals a month?
