Three states: Illinois, Missouri and Nevada are considering legislation that would prohibit or restrict the use of “distressed sales,” such as foreclosures and short sales, as comparable sales as a part of a residential real estate appraisal.
Homebuilders and real estate sales agents are concerned that the prevalence of distressed sales and their subsequent use as comparables, is resulting in the appraised value of residential properties not matching the contract sales price, or in the case of new construction, the cost to build.

The American Guild of Appraiser (AGA) /Guild 44 of the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU)/AFL-CIO is based in Maryland, a short distance from Washington, DC.
The AGA is a non-traditional union that represents independent professionals. The AGA does not engage in collective bargaining, strikes, and does not enforce closed shops. The AGA does not negotiate contracts, does not have shop stewards, and does not have any oversight regarding its member’s work products. What we have is the backing of over 10 million members within the AFL-CIO and 110,000 within the OPEIU. With these numbers, we have a collective voice.

It sounds like we are in another waiting game regarding customary & reasonable fees as noted in Dodd-Frank.
Key Notes:
* The minimal timeline set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act indicates that those rules may be promulgated within 18 months of July 21, 2011.
* After the rules are in final form, States have 36 months to implement the minimum requirements established by the rules for registration and supervision of AMCs. (The ASC may grant States up to a 12-month extension, subject to specific limited conditions set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act.)

I am catching up for not posting any podcasts recently, so I am going to post my last 3 podcasts and will be recording new shows from my office for better audio quality.
In this podcast I talk about my recent article in LiveValuation Magazine, keyword research for your website, targeting specific cities with your website and more.
Enjoy! Please leave comments and comment and rate on Itunes if possible. That would really help me out. Thanks!

Wow! It is amazing. It looks like all the work banding together as an industry has worked. All the appraisal orders I received today were in the $300-$400 range! Dodd-Frank really came through on this one.
The federal government must have really put the scare in to the appraisal management companies and laid down the law.
The Appraisal Subcommittee even gave me a call back and sent out a few reply emails concerning my questions that were previously left unanswered prior to today, 04/01.
I guess I shouldn’t have been so opinionated regarding comments like ‘I won’t hold my breath’ and ‘business as usual’, etc…
Things really can be different, things really can change.

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.
