I don’t want to be handed my independence, I want to take it back. The politicians and the banks are putting us under management for PROFIT.
I have been an honest appraiser since the beginning, and my family and I are getting punished for the bad appraisers. How can management companies charge the home owners $500.00-$600.00 per appraisal and pay us half or less? They reduce our fees and make us sign contracts, or there is no work. Many an ”old time appraiser” has said, “they hate management companies and they would never work for one”. I understand this, but for the new to newer appraisers trying to get ahead and experience, sometimes there is no other way. I have tried to branch out but these areas are filled by the “old timers”.
How do we come together? How do we take back our business? We need to come together at this time. We can’t let the politicians and the banks tell us what we are to get paid, so they can pocket the rest. There are still a few big banks (rhymes with Smells Hargo) who pressure you in the direction they see fit. We all sit in our homes complaining, lets strike, lets not accept the work for a day, LET US STAND UP.
