Could this be true? Is Fannie Mae trying to. recruit new appraisers to enter the field? It seems as though over the. past decade Fannie Mae has been trying to minimize and reduce the role. of the appraiser with proposed changes by moving toward appraisal. waivers, hybrid appraisals (also known as bifurcated appraisals). and automated valuation models.

The market statistics we get from the Board of Realtors is broad. It encompasses all properties, not segmented by school district or area, size, or any other factor. The December figures that came out a couple of days ago indicate a 7.3% increase in sales price, but if you do compare to the school district, it is not the same (also one month as opposed to one year).

I kicked a hornet’s nest earlier in the week. I knew that it was not only possible but very likely that someone (maybe even a few people) would have a serious issue with my posting the Appraisal Foundation (TAF) tax paperwork showing their president’s salary, David Bunton, from 2017. I do not begrudge anyone making a salary commensurate with what they are worth in the market.

The Appraisal Foundation (TAF) made some waves this last few days. A new book just came out discussing what goes on at TAF and it doesn’t sound too good. I have yet to read it, but have ordered it. From what a few people have described to me it doesn’t paint a pleasant picture of TAF. The book can be found at this link: [link]. In other revelations, a colleague has posted to Facebook a copy of TAF’s 2017 tax filings and it discloses what is being paid to David Bunton, Kelly

Allocation is a tool used by some appraisers in some areas in order to determine land value. Its often used when no other tools are available. These tools include: Vacant land sales - this analysis is preferred as it gives an up to date look at what vacant land is commanding on the open market. The subject site is considered vacant (without any improvements) and then compared to sales of vacant land in the recent past.

This was just sent over to me. Mr. Bagott, the author of the book that exposes the odd salary information for the president of The Appraisal Foundation, David Bunton. I will add to the oddity of this week by disclosing that someone from Mr. Bunton’s staff called me Tuesday and essentially gave me a dressing down for posting the information that I had at that juncture.

I am currently attending the Collateral Risk Network meeting in Sarasota, Fl but I wanted to post up a reply sent out from TAF this morning. I will have some follow up later in the day as time permits, but I wanted to get this out as it was sent to me directly. The link is unaltered and is exactly as it was sent to me. [link]. I appreciate TAF’s intent to explain the situation and give transparency.
