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.

Thanks to everyone that has responded regarding the oxygen concentrator for my Mom. I still haven’t found one (that I can afford), but I am sure I will get there.
Since it is Friday, I am going to give you a game plan for next week. My appraisal work has been coming in waves lately, so I have been doing a lot of work following up with all the appraisal management companies I have worked for over the past year, updating my information and inquiring about work.
I have 5 great tips for you. You have to do this next week!

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.

No, I am not going over to the dark side!
I thought it would be a good idea to expand my real estate knowledge and decided to get a real estate broker license. You never know what will happen in the appraisal industry and I always like to have a plan B whenever possible.

Please get involved with your local appraiser coalition. We must come together as an industry if we want things to change.
For too long we have been a very individualistic community of appraisers, closed off to local and even national appraisers. Always watching our backs and never really helping each other out. We have even go as far as criticizing our peers and infighting.

Re: Docket No. R-1394 and RIN No. AD-7100-56
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Interim Final Rule (IFR) amending Regulation Z (Truth in Lending) and the matters of appraiser independence and customary and reasonable fees to appraisers. In reviewing the rule it is clear that the Federal Reserve spent considerable time in preparation of the IFR. The agency is to be commended for its hard work, especially for meeting a very strict and difficult deadline and given other agency resource constraints.

Now this is one amazing fee report. Hopefully this is enough to signify what is median and average fees as observed between clients and independent fee appraisers when specifying the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report, or URAR. It provides statistical data on hundreds of thousands of URAR transactions at the national, regional, and state levels, covering all 3,221 counties and local administrative districts in the fifty United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam.
