Corelogic is a shark that way. Appraiser based alamode subscriptions continually decrease.

Ramp up the Mercury network fees, accommodate pdc’s through the Mercury system, provide a pdc application that may also be used by traditional home inspectors on the back end.

Thank you, just wondered why there is so much time between original posts and recent replies.

Yes they are !!!

Oh come on, they are catching up. They just added like more than 80 million toilets for their own homes. ‘Cept “Dedicated efforts to build toilets must be matched with support for dealing with what happens after the flush.” But they understand the value of your 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home connected to public sewage and water. 🙂

Sort of like OCWEN on steroids?

Nice to know so much American real estate and economic data is in the hands of our traditional friends over in Mumbai. Folks that truly understand how our markets operate.

Now if they could just apply their magical algorithms to Indian Circle Rates versus Market Value rates in their home country. THAT would be an impressive valuation feat! Of course, they would also have to build in a Vedic numeric counting system conversion table to express how many dollars are in the applicable ‘lakh rupees’. We don’t even use the same number of decimal places or commas.

Corelogic is big into the h1-b visa program. In the larger picture, h1-b ain’t even the half of it. It’s another program which benefits the elite tech companies and provides a negative draw for American students whom may choose stem fields. How’s the ‘global economy’ working out for you personally?

Dawn our first step is trying to get enough board support among appraisers for a specific objective.

Remember that many of our associates work for corelamode and similar data-driven high volume sweatshops. They post their opposing views here as well as other forums. Appraisers are our own worst enemies…and our only strength. (How’s that for philosophical drivel?)

Sometimes we can find common cause with AI – other times we are in direct opposition. ASA is generally supportive as are the other major’s professional associations.

Bottom line, writing states AGs is not usually going to be the best solution. Piggybacking on other favorable issues is. That’s why I keep urging support for House FInancial Affairs Cmm. legislation. Get past the partisan rhetoric and when an issue favors us, jump on board.

The biggest unfinished business appraisers have today is the ongoing FTC case between Louisiana and FTC. Hopefully, Steve Cannon and his team are close to a resolution. They have had some incremental successes but the case lingers on.

As long as that case is open not one state is concerned with C&R fee enforcement.

New York and NJ recently past good laws relating to appraisers. We need to support those.

Texas just passed a GREAT LAW allowing appraisers that are falsely accused and taken to court (admin or otherwise) by their states MAY recover up to $1,000,000 in costs from the state. The burden is pretty high (must be found to be frivolous)- but at least recovery IS possible AND the message is there to regulators. Passing similar legislation in ALL other states should be the goal after the FTC case.

Imho the next most serious (and potentially profession terminating) issue are hybrids; and separately conflating ‘Evaluations” with “Appraisals”. They should NEVER be permitted to be called the same things.

There is no such thing as a ‘good hybrid model’. Even the best of the worst result in substandard fees; unrealistic completion times and fees too low for quality work… not to mention turning designated appraisers into national hustler sweatshops. “JUST SAY NO!” Always.

VaCAP and Virginia seem to hold the most hearings. Get involved people.

A year later, I attended CE classes, which were taught in Irving, Texas, in CoreLogic’s offices. Then, I realized the money issue. CoreLogic was founded by someone from India, as I have heard. Very few white people are employed, there, particularly white men, as it appeared. Mostly I saw minorities and, particularly, young Indian men, dressed in suits with tight legs, looking like the English Beatles. A recent article by an American computer specialist regretted he could not get hired at, I believe it was Intel, because the interviewer blatantly stated he could get Indians at 1/3 the the salary expected by the Americans. Wonder why 900+ illegals from India were caught at the border, this year?

CoreLogic is a threat to the American public. I heard that they own Roomba, the vacuum robot, and that they are working on attaching cameras and calculators to photograph and measure the interior of your home. Major spying capability. They are too ambitious to be considered a good corporate citizen. It appears that they are fast becoming a monopoly, which needs to be stopped. China and India have big designs for this country.

Citizens, WAKE UP!

Great suggestion, I would also help with that !

Is there any incredible appraiser on here willing to compose a well thought out, evidence backed, professional letter that we all could submit to our respective attorney generals? Maybe Mike Ford or the article’s author?

If you don’t want to say something publicly, i would welcome a private message on fb.

CoreLogic finalizes HomeVisit acquisition

At this point I’m waiting for them to buy merry maids so they can also be in charge of cleaning your toilets.

I don’t doubt for a minute that they are scraping data. Not sure that can be stopped as long as a forum is used that’s intended to be broadly circulated.

The needs and benefits to regional mls to sellers and appraisers can’t be denied. Benefits to buyers is less clear since out of area buyers walking blindly into a new market they know nothing about are “fish”. THEY are the ones that always pay top dollar or far beyond top dollar because they fail to get advice from local agents that KNOW the market.
