Do you think you will see much change regarding Customary and Reasonable fees come April 1st? It sounds like we are going to have to take up law school to straighten out this question.

Below is an article I received from WorkingRE.com on the subject of Customary & Reasonable Fees.

CoreLogic VP speaks on upcoming changes to appraisal fees – customary and reasonable

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011, 2:39 pm

David Feldman is vice president, government affairs at CoreLogic Valuations. He sits down with HousingWire to talk about the impending deadline on appraiser fees under new regulation.

HousingWire: On April 1, the new “customary and reasonable” appraiser fees under Dodd-Frank take effect. What are they and is the industry ready?

David Feldman: According to Dodd-Frank and the Interim Final Rule, appraisers must be paid at a rate that is customary and reasonable for appraisal services in the market area of the property being appraised. The IFR interprets the language of Dodd-Frank to signify that the marketplace should be the primary determiner of the value of appraisal services.

A Call for Help

My mother recently had some health issues and now she is on oxygen. Being that we live more than 600 miles away, it has now become difficult to see her as much as I would like.

I am sure others can relate.

The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning.

Those are some infamous words from Charlie Sheen. We all need to win from time to time.

On a more serious note, I have had probably the slowest week in the past 3 years last week. I was seriously wondering what was going down, but I think it has been a little slow across the country.

Luckily I picked up a couple estate appraisal orders over the weekend. Now is a great time to focus on getting internet orders for estate, date of death, divorce and bankruptcy.
