					<description><![CDATA[<p>If economic necessity forces you to accept UAD 3.6 assignments, you cannot afford to sign blindly while exposed to massive secondary market liability risks. The reality on the ground for independent real estate appraisers is unforgiving. While the industry debates the long term dangers of data harvesting, many independent business owners face an immediate, binary choice: sign the new UAD 3.6 reports and accept Certification 25, or stop feeding your family. Not every appraiser has a robust book of private estate, divorce, and non lending work. Transitioning away from AMCs takes time, marketing skills, and capital that many simply do&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The rollout of the new UAD 3.6 framework has triggered a major wave of compliance literature, and a perfect example is a recent article by Woody Fincham at Valuation Nation, titled “Certification 25: What&#8217;s the Real Risk to the Appraiser?”. In his piece, Woody sets aside the rhetoric and lists my AppraisersBlogs article regarding our legal defenses under this dataset as a citation reference at the end of his post. While he acknowledges the existence of this perspective, his broader argument claims that the legal risks of signing Certification 25 are low, the threat of regulatory discipline is minimal, and&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A fellow appraiser dropped a direct message in my inbox with a link to home inspector Preston Kincaid&#8217;s Facebook video, and watching him warn the public sent a chill through me because his words mirrored the exact warnings I have been shouting about our own appraisal profession. To understand the shock, you first need to know what Spectora is and how home inspectors work. Spectora is the dominant cloud software platform used by roughly 7,000 independent home inspectors across the country to draft, format, and deliver digital property inspection reports. By law and standard contract, home inspectors operate under strict&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The insurance industry just verified the erasure of my legal defenses under UAD 3.6. The corporate apologists and tech insiders have spent weeks trying to downplay the Certification 25 confidentiality crisis. They’ve lined up to tell independent appraisers that the new language is just a passive weather report, a routine disclosure, or an innocent acknowledgement of a reality that has existed for many years. But the ultimate reality check just arrived from the very people who calculate risk for a living, and it completely blows the corporate defense strategy out of the water.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Targeted under the guise of equity, I faced baseless accusations with no due process — until I used FOIA, uncovered the truth, and turned the tables. But I had a secret weapon: I used artificial intelligence. For decades, appraisers have worked in silence, held hostage by regulations, scrutiny, and — recently — false narratives of systemic racism. When the Biden administration launched the PAVE Initiative, it claimed to champion equity in housing. But behind the curtain, it became a political tool. The result? Appraisers like me were targeted based on ZIP codes, stripped of due process, and labeled racist —&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The story of this single mother&#8217;s harrowing experience with a defective home purchase and HUD&#8217;s negligent oversight exposes deep flaws in the FHA appraisal and loan review process. After sacrificing for years to rebuild her credit and earn the right to become a homeowner, this borrower found her dream home in the country &#8211; or so she thought. During the home inspection, several issues were flagged. The seller, an investor who had purchased the home in an estate sale, was unaware of the septic system&#8217;s location. The seller agreed to have the tanks pumped so the location could be determined.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Shane Lanham, a Maryland appraiser, has found himself in a difficult situation as he is being sued in The United States District Court of Maryland. However, he is not backing down and fully intends to fight these allegations through trial. In addition, he is countersuing the accusers for defamation and seeking $500,000 in damages. Lanham firmly believes that the accusations of racism against him are baseless and he has engaged a consultant with significant experience in handling such cases. To ensure he has the best chance of success, Mr. Lanham has engaged a consultant with extensive experience in similar cases.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>An appraiser shared the following with us which was posted on one of the appraisers’ groups. Fannie Mae filed a complaint against me with my state appraisal board. Here’s what happened. The Report In June of 2021, I completed an appraisal for a conventional purchase. The appraisal was ordered by an AMC on behalf of a lender. At that time, the real estate market was still being wildly affected by the COVID pandemic. Remote work was in full swing, and consumers were desperately seeking to get out of the cities. Prices for all types of residential properties were rising rapidly,&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>The study also found that the PAREA program is not as effective in providing a more accessible pathway to licensure as the traditional apprenticeship model.&#160; Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal (PAREA) is a program that aims to revolutionize the real estate industry by increasing the number of appraisers. However, after listening to the Appraisal Institute speaker at yesterdays board meeting it quickly became evident that this initiative is a complete failure. You cannot start PAREA until you have received all your real estate appraisal education. 94 hours = $1,700 per McKissock Appraisal Institute speaker said that most AMC&#8217;s/banks won&#8217;t&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Originally known as Fannie Mae’s Collateral Underwriter (CU), and subsequently Collateral Underwriter 2.0 (CU-2)i this always dubious product of Fannie Mae is increasingly being referred to by some, if not many American Appraisers as The Fraudulator / Underwriter 2.0 (FU-2). To be clear it is not limited to the Collateral Underwriter (CU &#38; CU-2) software. The new Fraudulator (FU-2) combines the CU products with their numerous improper uses. The end result of which includes OUTRIGHT FRAUD being perpetrated against banks via the repurchase letters Fannie Mae now issues on a quota based system rather than because of legitimate appraisal defects.&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Does a mortgage lender have liability to the borrower for a negligent appraisal?&#160; As residential property prices plateau or decline in various markets and as borrowers have financial problems with fewer financing options, there are more legal claims being filed by borrowers against appraisers and lenders in relation to appraisals for loans made in recent years. Essentially, the cases are situations of &#8220;buyer-borrower remorse.&#8221; Leaving aside the appraiser&#8217;s potential liability, does a mortgage lender have liability to the borrower for a negligent appraisal?

Parts of California Assembly Bill 948, which was signed into law in September, read like something from the satirical news site The Onion. The statute requires the state’s appraiser enforcement&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

How involved are you as the lender in the day to day activities of the appraisal management company?&#8230; The world has changed and most everything in our lives involves technology. The technologies available to each of us are tools.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>When I explain the rules many of the appraisers start complaining: &#8220;An MLS photograph depicts the house at the time it sold so it’s more accurate than my photograph would be&#8221;&#8230; There’s a lot of yelling and screaming about bifurcated appraisals. Unfortunately, appraisers may have shot themselves in the foot when it comes to this issue. Allow me to provide an analogy to help explain the issue.

					<description><![CDATA[<p>I just received a message from another appraiser that I believe uses ACI software. He received a request from ACI to sign a &#8220;Digital Signature Application&#8221; along with a few other forms. This appears to me to be in connection with a new form of an appraisal product which they have developed. The first paragraph of this &#8220;Digital Signature Application&#8221; read as follows 1.1 Signature Using BLACK INK, sign within the box below. Signature must remain within the confines of the box (see sample). All signature cards are destroyed after they are scanned, tested, and delivered. Passwords are not kept&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#8230;a laundry list of &#8216;pile on&#8217; purported USPAP &#8220;violations&#8221; were fabricated deriving for the above oversights ‘confirmed’ by the out of area review appraiser&#8230; In fighting or appealing a false complaint filed against you as an appraiser, truth, factual evidence and professional competency is no longer enough! More important than all these things, is conformity to the detailed technical rules of a state’s administrative law procedures. In short, in many if not most cases, appraisers MUST HIRE AN ATTORNEY to represent them before any administrative board. Anything less, is playing with fire and your professional career. Worse, E&#38;O won’t cover&#46;&#46;&#46;</p>
