Mr. Tim Andersen is here again to help us answer the question, "where did you get a copy of my report, and is that even legal?" He also helps us with the question of how far can a client go in telling you how to do your job?

It happens all the time; you get a call from a lender you did not do a report for, but they want to talk to you or get a revision on a report they are in possession of. Can you talk to them? Tim Andersen answers it as well as can you change an original report instead of doing a final?

Tim Andersen joins Dustin for another Dear USPAP Instructor to discuss Tidewater and what counts toward trainee experience.

Tim Andersen is back. In part of the Dear USPAP Instructor series, Tim answers the question about neighborhood definitions and even delves into mineral rights.

Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, joins us to talk about the three approaches to value. Are we required to consider all three? What is the Departure Rule? Also, let's talk PAREA. How will that change our industry?

Lot's of media attention has been placed on the racial bias issue. But, is it really a big deal and what is an appraiser to do about it? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, is here to discuss that and neighborhood boundaries.

What's a comparable sale?  Does USPAP answer this question?  (spoiler alert:  NO!)  Can the GSEs answer this question?  (same spoiler alert!). You're an ethical, curious, well-trained and well-educated appraiser.  What are you going to do?  In this podcast, Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate takes a stab at the answer!  Think highest and best use since that is the key to a comparable sale. There are sales and then there are comparable sales.  What is the difference between them?  In essence, one difference is your verification of that sale.  You turn a plain-vanilla sale into a comparable sale!  How?  Use Fannie Mae's definition of market value as  your verification model.  If a sale ticks all of the boxes in that model, and it has the same highest and best use, you have a comparable sale!  When they don't, you don't.  It's that simple.  Yes, finding comparable sales takes some work. Now what? You found the sale.  You've verified it according to the market value definition model.  It has the same highest and best use as the subject. Now you analyze that verified sale.  Why?  Between your original research and your file data, you may have 15 comparables.  Now, analyze them to determine those that are are most similar to the subject.  Which of them needed the lowest gross adjustment ratio?  Is the most recent sale physically proximate? What's a comparable sale?  Listen!

It's another Dear USPAP Expert episode with Mr. Tim Andersen (the Appraiser's Advocate). Here are some of the common questions we get on how to appraise.

Tim Andersen is back with another Dear USPAP edition where he and Dustin tackle how do you have a floor plan if it is a desktop and the exciting topic of trainee logs.

10 questions Fannie Mae just has not answered? There are probably more than 10, but this podcast covers only 10 of them. Maybe we appraisers have not asked the proper questions? Maybe Fannie Mae does not trust enough to give us the answers. But the point is, we appraisers have questions. Fannie Mae has answers. But she has not gone out of her way to provide them to us. So, Tim Andersen, the appraiser's advocate raises some of them here. This is to give the good folks at Fannie Mae a good goosing - just to get them started. 10 questions Fannie Mae does not answer for for us? How about "How are we supposed to provide a floorplan when we don't put boots in the living room?". Technology helps us answer this question, true. But the fact is, we had to ask it. And, Fannie Mae still has not answered it (as of this podcast). Again, that technology exists, but which technology? Even some of the AMCs are on this bandwagon. Those AMCs ask us to use their software, their apps. Does that put them "in charge" of the appraisal and its reporting? USPAP makes it clear those are our responsibilities. But USPAP does not govern or constrain lenders and their helots, the AMCs. These 10 questions Fannie Mae does not answer extend to neighborhood analysis, too. From experience, it's likely the appraiser is already familiar with the neighborhood. But what happens when the appraiser receives an assignment in a recently-constructed subdivision? Will staying at a desk help the appraiser who is expanding into new geographical areas? How will the appraiser come to know the nuances of that new town or county? 10 questions Fannie Mae does not answer include the Selling Guide. Right now, it assumes the appraiser inspects the subject's neighborhood. How will that be possible if the appraiser stays in the office? OK, the appraiser can get in the car and visit the new neighborhood, true. But, isn't the purpose of a desktop appraisal to cut the time they appraiser spends outside of analyses? So, if appraisers are out inspecting neighborhoods, they are complying with Fannie Mae's current requirements. But they are not at their desk analyzing. That's not complying with her requirements. Therefore, is Fannie Mae going to change the Selling Guide so it is internally consistent with her adoption of desktop appraisals? When? So many questions. 10 questions Fannie Mae just has not answered include so many more, too. Let's hope she chooses to heed our call and then answer our questions. Thanks for listening!

As of April 1, you will be required to measure to ANSI Standards for Fannie Mae. They also announced a "change" and are allowing MLS photos. Our resident USPAP expert, Mr. Tim Andersen joins us to talk how that affects appraisers.

Real estate appraisal's future? Dare we look into it? Is it not best to leave some elements of life undiscovered? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate peers into that abyss. But since the future in unknowable, Tim's guesses are as good as anybody's. Isn't it amazing? Real Estate's appraisal protocols have not changed fundamentally since the 1930s. Yet the technology is changing so fact, we can't keep up with it. That's why its necessary to peer into the future - to makes sense of these changes. A big change is Fannie Mae's adoption of ANSI measurement standards. Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity (PAVE) is another major change coming to real estate appraisal. While PAVE blames appraisers for what are really lending abuses, we must be aware that PAVE's findings are part of our future. Real Estate Appraisal's Future? It will require more training, education, and practical experience. In addition, the GSEs are now looking for appraisals to be accurate, reproducible, and reliable, not merely credible. So the GSEs are holding us to standards even higher than those in USPAP. For good or ill, that requires we up our game. Fortunately for us, we can. All the education and training we need are out there. But we must choose to take advantage of them so we benefit from them. So, when it comes to real estate appraisal's future, we know there will be changes. Some will be positive. In any event, we must keep up with them. If we are not moving forward, we are falling behind!

Are they market value? Those Zillow purchases and now their sales of the properties they bought. There is a reason to ask. Recently, a state appraisal board took an appraiser "behind the woodshed". Why? That state board sanctioned the appraiser for (among other reasons) using ibuyer sales and purchases as comparable sales. Really?! Yes! As the board explained, those sales did not meet the qualifications of market value. Why? because the buyers were ibuyers, not traditional purchasers. Yet the board did not explain the market evidence it used to reach that conclusion credibly. No bias there, right? But, are they market value? After all, the ibuyers ballyhooed their purchase algorithm. They based their purchases on it. Not just Zillow, but all of the institutional ibuyers. And the sellers did not need to accept the offers of the ibuyers. They could have rejected them, right? They could have hired an appraiser to tell them their property's market value, correct? Were there no brokers available to advise them on a reasonable listing price? So, to say the ibuyers took advantage of those sellers is an exaggeration. But, again, are they market value? Did those sales meet the qualifications of the definition of market value? In this podcast, Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, examines this question and its possible answers. If they did, then that state board was wrong to sanction the appraiser. After all, the appraiser merely used credible comparable sales. And if those sales were too funky to meet market value? Then the state was right to sanction the appraiser. But who was right, the state or the appraiser? Could they both be right? Is it possible both were wrong? Tim covers these questions in a thought-provoking way. You may not like his answers. But at least you thought about the questions! Thanks!

Have you had your home appraised? If so, what does the report indicate about the market trends in the neighborhood of the home being appraised? Why is this so important? I talk about this topic in this episode. I also sit down with Tim Andersen, a USPAP instructor, who sheds some light on the matter. I hope you enjoy this one!

Tim Andersen joins us again to talk about two items. First the ASB has announced there will be no update to USPAP this coming year. What does that mean for appraisers? Second, can you use help in other states or countries without it being a USPAP violation?

Tim Andersen joins us again for Dear USPAP instructor. First, we deal with PAREA and the new potential path for appraisers. Also, what about photos?

Are cover letters/letters of transmittal a USPAP thing? What about other things that our mentor taught us? How much is a USPAP requirement vs client requirements vs just the way we have always done it? And can you appraise your neighbor's house? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, joins Dustin for another Dear USPAP Instructor episode.

A great real estate appraiser?  What are the five signs?  Listen to this podcast!  Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, explains each of them.  The first sign is you understand highest and best use, a big one.  Then you understand reconciliation.  Who names the intended use and users comes into play here, too (spoiler alert:  you, the appraiser, do.  This is not the client's call).  Then you've got the subject's salient characteristics (as well as those of the comps!).  You've analyzed all of them, so you understand them, too.  Finally, of the signs you are a great real estate appraiser, there are the four characteristics of an appraiser.  All this information all in one place.  What more could you ask for?  Help with reaching your potential, you ask?  That's why Tim's here for you.  Contact him at tim@theappraisersadvocate.com.  Tim's not here to help you with your appraisal business.  Other folks will do that.  He's here to help you be a better appraiser.  You'll be glad you contacted Tim and learned the five signs of a great real estate appraiser!

Tim Andersen is back to talk more startup in Japan. We get the update on what happened to his startup project Musby. Spoiler, it didn’t go as planned. However, it’s all good. Tim has no quit and continues to apply lessons learned as a project manager at Edocode. If you didn’t get a chance to … Continue reading "Episode 87 – Startin’ Up, Movin’ Up with Tim Andersen"

You heard it right, this time Tim is interviewing Dustin for his YouTube channel The Appraiser's Advocate. What does Dustin think appraisers should be doing to remain relevant in today's changing valuation world?

Stats and Graphs! George Dell, MAI, CRE, ASA explains these to us. In other words, he clarifies them for us. Why use them? Do they explain what we do better than we can explain it? Do they paint a picture of the data in the client's mind? Do they provide the client with essential information? Above all, do they explain what we did and why de did it? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, interviews George on the proper use of stats and graphs. George makes clear their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. He makes it clear when we should use them and when we should not! What about AVMs? Are those the state of the appraisal art? George makes it clear they are not! On the other hand, he makes it clear they are a great appraisal tool. Stats and Graphs? In short, George Dell explains them!

Why HOORAY for our side? USPAP did not have a definition of "misleading". As of January 1, 2020 it did. Nevertheless, that definition was confusing. It said a typo in a report was the same a violation of ethics. Consequently, a simple mistake was the same as choosing to violate ethics. Certainly, that had to change. That was not the situation we appraisers should be in. So, The Appraiser's Advocate, other concerned appraisers, and various appraisal organizations complained! Some of them very loudly! The definition either had to change or go! Our efforts got results! HOORAY for our side! In the 2022-2023 PROPOSED USPAP, the definition of "misleading" is gone. There is no replacement! So, HOORAY! A win for our side! See what happens when we work together? See what happens when we stop trying to throw each other under the bus? So, HOORAY for our side! Be sure to get in touch with The Appraisal Foundation to thank them for listening to us! Thanks for listening to Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate!

Falling off my bike. What a terrible way to learn some life lessons. Especially when that fall takes place in the rain! Consequently, there are lessons here for you to learn without having to fall from yours. On the other hand, fall from your bike in the rain if you want to. But, learning from my mistakes is quicker - and way less painful. Moreover, there are even some real estate appraisal lessons to learn from, too. What are they? Preparation. Gratitude. Asking for help from experts and consultants when you need it. Love of and for family. The important stuff. And oh, yea. Pavement is really hard, so don't fall on it. That's another lesson. Take it from Tim Andersen, the Appraiser's advocate. There are better ways to learn life's lessons than falling off a bike. More fun, too. That's something I'm going to do my best to avoid! So should you!

Riding a horse is supposed to be fun and a great way to relax!. But what can that have to do with real estate appraisal? As it turns out, more than you'd think! Tim Andersen, the Appraiser's Advocate, shares a life lesson. It is easy to get caught-up in your own comfort zone. To grow, you have to leave that comfort zone. You accomplish this by putting yourself into an uncomfortable situation. Is riding a horse leaving your comfort zone? It was for Tim! But, as this podcast shows, you'hear how Tim found a way to overcome that fear. He hopes you'll find this story humorous as well as uplifting! The purpose of this podcast is to give you reason to think critically about what you do everyday, how you do it, and why you do it. Because of the times we live in, change is inevitable. Some will resist it. Some will go along with it. And some will get ahead of the curve to benefit from it. Since change is inevitable, we must change as we journey into the future. The time to start that change is now! Thanks for listening! And remember that riding a horse is really fun - when you know how!

Appraisers are essential. They bring to the table services nobody else has. An AVM can analyze a column of numbers. But that analysis indicates only price. The appraiser, though, states value. Is the lender lending too much? Is the buyer paying too much? Has the seller left some money on the table? To answer these questions, and others, is what appraisers do. Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, considers these issues. Tim's podcasts are typically on appraisal issues. But sometimes you must leave your comfort zone. In this podcast, Tim does. He looks at the philosophical side of real estate appraisal. Why? Because appraisers are essential! To lead appraisers to the Big Picture. There is more to real estate appraisal than crunching numbers! There is critical thinking, too! Appraisers are essential! This podcast urges you to leverage that!

USPAP has a new definition of misleading. Since it has no wiggle-room in it, even a minor error can metamorphose into an ethics violation quickly. How will state appraisal boards interpret this very broad definition? What are the ramifications for the real estate appraisal industry? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, takes on the challenge of advising you to cover your assets! This new definition should scare all appraisers!

What are value, accuracy, and misleading when it comes to an appraisal and report? Can an appraisal be accurate? Can the appraiser's value conclusion ever be "right"? What is a misleading appraisal report? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, takes on these issues in that podcast. Thanks for listening!

Misleading appraisal reports are a potential problem! State appraisal boards routinely sanction appraisers when the appraiser's report is misleading. Tim Andersen, the Appraiser's Advocate, explains the differences between an appraisal report and a restricted appraisal report. These are areas confusing to some appraisers, so Tim clears up this confusion. Understand how and why these two reports differ so you'll avoid writing a misleading appraisal report. These differences can be subtle and may surprise you! Thanks for listening!

Fannie Mae requires we specify the design for our subject and comps. How important is it that we get it right? Also, can you transfer an appraisal with the first client's permission? Tim Andersen, the Appraiser's Advocate, is here to answer these questions in another installment of Ask the USPAP Expert.

Is the road to Hell paved with Good Intentions? Is USPAP that road to Hell? Only you can decide that for yourself, but Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, is willing to go along with you for the ride! Thanks for listening!

Ever think of AFFORDABILITY as on of the areas of analysis for a client? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate and recognized USPAP expert takes on this challenge. AVMs can't handle it, BPOs don't include this analysis, and evaluations do not even consider analyses to this depth. Only appraisers can do this! Thanks for listening!

Trees typically do not move very far, very fast, or very often. However, is there something in your appraisal report that suggests they could? Do your reports always communicate what you want them to communicate? In this podcast, #Tim Andersen, #The Appraiser's Advocate, without being too wooden in his narrative, helps you add strength and timber to your reports and covers these solid yet moving real estate appraisal report issues. Thanks for listening!

When Diana Jacob speaks on USPAP, or any real estate-related topic, the wise listen. Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, interviews Diana. She covers a wide variety of topics with her typical intelligence and down-to-earth sense of humor. Thanks for listening!

Want to hear about what's going on in appraisalworld from somebody who knows? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, interviews Craig Morley, the former chair of the Utah appraisal board. You'll enjoy his remarks!

Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, and Dustin Harris, The Appraiser Coach consider California's AB5, as well as appraisal changes the VA recently made. You'll want to hear Dustin's take on both of these controversial topics! Thanks for listening.

Is it a USPAP violation to omit something from an appraisal or report? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, tackles this question to give you some insight into what your scope of work should be.

Just how detailed are questions from the state appraisal board? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, provides you some details, as well as a secret about whistling!

Do toddlers drive you nuts? Actually, they may set an example for us appraisers. The Appraiser's Advocate, Tim Andersen, shows you why. Thanks for listening!

Just what is an appraiser's responsibility on a Purchase and Sale agreement? Is the number on it what we are supposed to hit to keep the client happy? Or is it merely another data point to analyze on our way to a credible value opinion? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, covers this timely topic so you can answer the question!

Tim Andersen, the USPAP Expert, is here again to answer two questions; what does the word analyze mean - what are we required to do - and what needs to be in our workfile?

So, what IS in your workfile? Why it is there (or not there, as the case may be)? Tim Andersen, The Appraiser's Advocate, breaks it all down for you in this podcast. Tim makes it clear what MUST be in your workfile, as well as why it must be there! And why must all that important stuff be there? To keep you out of the clutches of your state appraisal board!

YOU know what you mean when you write your appraisal report. But is what you meant clear to the Client? If it's not, and the Client nicks you for it, do you take it as a leaning experience, or bitch about it on social media? Tim Andersen, The Appraisers Advocate, USPAP instructor and guru, and all around convivial guy give you his take on these real estate appraisal and USPAP current issues. Oh, and he quotes Shakespeare, too. WOW! Whoever thought you'd get all of that and Shakespeare, too, in one USPAP-oriented podcast?

What if you know how to appraise the house, but there is a location issue you may not be familiar with? Also, are all three approaches to value required by USPAP? Tim Andersen, the USPAP Expert joins us for the answers.

Tim Andersen, MAI and USPAP instructor joins us today for another version of Dear USPAP Instructor. Today we talk about the word "accurate" when it comes to appraisal and is a house bought for the land underneath truly a comp

They say 90% of all appraised values are at or higher than purchase price. Is that okay? Should the contract price influence an appraiser? Craig Morely and Tim Andersen are here to discuss

Today on the program, Tim Andersen dives into a word we use frequently, but probably have not sat down to analyze. The word is "analyze" and it is time to find out what it means to an appraiser.

We are joined again by USPAP instructor extraordinaire Tim Andersen (tim@theuspapinstructor.com) for another episode of Ask The USPAP Instructor. Today, what do you do when the client refuses to give you the purchase and sale contract and are adjustments necessary?

What does an appraiser who got a degree in accounting and who is mentoring under Tim Andersen have to say about the appraisal world? His answers might surprise you - especially as it has to do with desktops and hybrids.

How do you answer when a neighbor asks you a valuation question? Also, can we be any more confusing when it comes to Highest and Best Use? Tim Andersen is here to clear the muddy waters.

There has been a lot of talk lately about data. Who owns it? Who can use it? Who can share it? Today, Tim Andersen helps answer these important questions.

Tim Andersen joins us again today to talk about the "other appraisal report," the Restricted Report. Today we will talk about what they are and what they are not. We will also talk about why an appraiser should use them to enhance business.

What is the responsibility of appraisers with regard to the sex offender registry? Does living next to a sex offender affect value? Also, what about disaster inspections? Can appraisers do them and remain USPAP compliant? Tim Andersen joins Dustin today to discuss.

What is bracketing? Why do we use it? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Tim Andersen joins Dustin to talk about this technique.

From a USPAP perspective, what do you do when you go back out to a property for a final inspection and things are not what you thought they would be when you did the original appraisal? Have you ever been asked to do the observation side of a hybrid report? What are your responsibilities to USPAP in that case? Tim Andersen is here to set us strait.

A new series fielding your USPAP (and related) questions with Tim Andersen, MAI and USPAP instructor. Some appraisers have "additional certifications" in their reports.
