“creating national concern”

I’ve talked to what seems like half the nation over the past 12 months. As it turns out NOBODY cares that appraisers were forced into taking a 50% pay cut (least of all congress). NOBODY seems to care that they are paying $450 for appraisals rather than $300 as there were last year.

“HVCC was well-intended”
This may sound pretty but the ugly fact of the matter is that banks used Andrew Cuomo to force HVCC upon the public under the ploy of consumer protection. The larger AMC owning banks are making billions off of appraisal fees. Andrew Cuomo’s 2010 governor campaign fund is making millions off of the banks he helped.

You were right about most points however. Experienced appraisers with any degree of intelligence left the business last year rather than work for wages that are below what they earned 20 years ago.
