Southland Appraisers UNION www.SouthlandAppraisersUnion.com Polar Bear VS Appraiser, Who will be the 1st to go? There has been much to-do about the polar bear and the possibility of it's extinction, however not a word about the appraiser. Both spend their time in unfriendly waters just trying to survive and do the right thing. All you hear about is the bear that goes on a rampage and kills someone that was just wanting to pat him on the head. The real estate appraisers have been with no support and very little influence since conception. So before you try and pat the appraiser on the head, you might realize that by far, most are honorable people trying to do the right thing. Our responsibility is to protect the buyer, seller, lender and mortgage. We are not scientist, we are appraisers WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR HOUSE IS WORTH.. We can only tell you, that in my opinion, from past performance the market has indicated your house is worth x. Well I am giving the Appraiser a 2 to 1 odds, but we need your help. FOCUS is on the Federal level. The Federal gave birth to this child and then said, I will give you no support., I will make you responsible for everything, and I will pass no law to make sure you are paid for you work. Alabama Appraisal Board voted worst in the Nation. There appears to be no motivation for anything of reason coming from the appraisal board director. This is my opinion is a clear definition of over promotion. A promotion with little regard for the appointment. Alabama NOW charges a $200 tax to go to work in the appraisal business even as a trainee. Also charge a $200 tax to hire someone in the appraisal business. To my knowledge the ONLY state in the Union that charges people to go to work in this field, are REALTORS next IN ALABAMA. An Appraisal board should be here to : 1. Education 2. Support 3. Discipline The Alabama Appraisal Staff, to my knowledge has never done a single action that was aimed at supporting the appraiser. When an appraiser is put out of business because of bogus field review and the board would not even investigate the event. It is time that someone did something. SO I am doing something, Soon there will be comedy videos of the comedy of errors in the Alabama Appraisal Board office. So tell us your stories, it doesn't matter if it happened in California or New York, we will display the event so it will be known. I am sure that with this declaration of WAR on the Appraisal Board will result in attacks on my character, but oh yeah they have already ruined me . My story is coming on the website. Me, I am George Joshua Porter III Alabama Certified Appraiser R00359 and an honorable appraiser. www.SouthlandAppraisersUnion.com
This is a very simple process. The appraisers fee for membership is $200 per county that you want to work . Your membership includes a 4 x 8 double sided full color banner per county to be displayed somewhere in high traffic. These are high quality banners. The banners will be the same all over the country. The banner drives them to the website, and they order in whatever county they live. The order is sent to the appraiser working that county. He collects the money does the work. There will only be one appraiser working that county in most cases. So, basically the first appraisal will pay your dues and all other orders that come in that area you collect at the door. Additional Banners are $75. I am open to ideas. I am putting my Banner across from the courthouse, an image on craigslist, and facebook, everywhere I can. So Pick your counties that you can give good service to. Understand this, we are here to help but not to give any false values. We are all helping each other advertise the tax Appraisal , and you will pick up clients as you go. What I am trying to do is give you appraisers a reason to see the light and how badly we need a voice in our profession. Understand this, This union will evolve to be invited appraisers and we can help take control our profession. So do good work, only take the area you work. Help the ones you can ...
