Lender Pressure, 1:30
PM
Lender pressure, it comes in many forms
from many directions. The impact of pressure is taking a toll
on property values, in ways we wouldn’t expect. This session
will explain various forms, provide examples and give examples
on how to stop it. We will address your concerns with enforcement,
current state of regulations, how the State’s appraisal division
views and is handling the problem and provide a peek inside
current investigations. We will provide points of contact
for reporting and preventing pressure. Even the NAMB is trying
to help and has proposed regulations. Please bring your written
examples of attempts to pressure or influence your opinion.
Wait until you see how we can fight back!

Session 1: Land Mines in the Life of the
Appraiser, 8:30
AM
It is a sad fact that everyday appraisers
are making business decisions that can and will result in
problems for their practice. Whether a complaint filed with
the state that must be defended with a less than stellar work
file or perhaps a lawsuit or worse, a criminal investigation.
There are big consequences to the decisions we make. The pressure
for quicker turn times have forced appraiser’s to work smarter
and harder and some have looked for ways to cut corners. Today’s
discussion will hopefully help you identify practices that
are marginal and to help you achieve a better understanding
as to the effects of some of these business decisions. If
you don’t see yourself in any of these situations then please
listen in and participate anyway so you can share your knowledge
with those within your sphere of influence.

Session 2: Clearing the Minefield,
1:30
PM
This
session will feature a roundtable discussion and address some of the more controversial practices
and assignments we participate in as appraisers. Whether it is the
result of misunderstood terminology; clients requesting one thing and really needing
something else or asking for something that cannot be ethically
provided we are presented with these opportunities every-day.
Many
nuances must be considered in determining the appropriate
approach to these situations. Recertification of Value,
Appraisal Updates and Retypes; “Can
it be rebuilt (?)”; Site built versus factory built; all represent opportunities
for appraiser’s to do some of their best and challenging
work but only if these assignments are understood and properly
executed. We hope to expand your view of these assignments and have
a clearer under-standing of some of the obligations, limitations and challenges
represented by them.
