Ross: "After nine years with the organization, I feel that the timing is good for me to explore other opportunities."
Ross: "I’d like to see the organization (the appraisal institute) strengthen its ties with the academic community. The profession needs to focus now on developing more theoretically based
tools and on things like behavioral finance and economics – which is ultimately what dictates the operation of markets. I’ve often stated that the mark of any profession is in the development of new
theory, and in my estimation there have been few, if any, advances in this regard in the appraisal profession for the last 25 years or more. I’d like to see the Appraisal Institute more involved
in some way in such thought creation."

Each comparable sale that is used in the sales comparison approach to value must be analyzed for differences and similarities between it and the property that is being appraised. The appraiser must
base his or her analysis and any adjustments to the comparable sales on the market data for the particular neighborhood and for competing locat1ons—not on predetermined or assumed dollar
adjustments. If an appraiser's adjustments to comparable sales (or the reconciliation of the comparable sales) are based on unsupported assumptions or personal opinion that cannot be supported by
market data, poor quality appraisals that could have a discriminatory effect may result."

INTERNATIONAL RIGHT OF WAY ASSOCIATION (IRWA)
Chapter 1 –Los Angeles County
2006 Annual Fall Seminar
Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Quiet Cannon, Montebello, CA
The Los Angeles World Airport's (LAWA) Director of Economic Development admits that the Manchester Square “Voluntary Purchase” Program is a part of LAWA’s Master Plan. This statement was supported by one staff member who
presented maps indicating that this area has been set aside for parking.
This Freudian slip of the tough could have major legal consequences since under the agencies “voluntary purchase program” homeowners were not paid Fair Market Value which is “the highest price” required by State Law in
condemnation cases.
For years Vivian Howell, an IRWA and LAWA mucky muck, has stated that we are not going to pay them “the highest price” because this is a voluntary program.
This in addition to using unethical appraisal practices like using unqualified appraisal trainees, consultants colluding on values, standardized comparable adjustments, and in some cases- appraising of property based upon it's existing
use, rather than it's “highest and best use.” It is estimated that these combined, secret practices, have cost property owners millions.
The Director also stated that he foresaw a number of inverse condemnation cases being filed against the agency, by current residents, because the LAWA project has left their neighborhood in a shambles.
If you are a homeowner, property, or seller of property to LAWA in this area we strongly suggest that you contact a qualified Real Estate Condemnation Attorney, or Relocation Expert, and demand a full hearing into these issues.

It appears that discrimination is something that the Appraisal Institute knows a lot about. In fact they use to be called The American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers until they were sued, for
discrimination, by the Federal Government. They then changed their name to the Appraisal Institute, same pig, different shade of lipstick. (The MAI Appraiser Standard, Larry A Mc Coy, MAI)

HOW TO CONDUCT A MAI (MADE AS INSTRUCTED?) APPRAISAL
Quote from David Rosenthal, MAI
Here are some tips from seasoned practitioner, David Rosenthal, MAI (Managing Director of Curtis-Rosenthal, LLC) that can help make your next appraisal experience easy and productive.
"4. Supply all of your market data, up front. Nothing says that your appraiser has to independently find all of the relevant market information. Data is data, so make the job easier and share any
market data that you have already developed. The appraiser will decide which data to use and how to best use it. Give your appraiser a running start with the benefit of your advance research."

The S&L Gold Rush - The Lack Of Public Accounting
If the bank’s board of directors were the ones doing the looting, however, they readily hired a pliant appraiser to cook up whatever appraisal value they wanted. Behind every fraudulent loan was a
fraudulent appraisal. It is nearly impossible for appraisers to render independent appraisals if the people hiring them do not want one. When I was in public accounting, auditors joked that MAI stood for
“Made As Instructed.” The commercial appraisals were largely worthless because they were not independently rendered. It is so obvious that it should be beneath mention, but that situation still exists.
Even if the bank could not find a bona fide buyer, it was supposed to write down the property to fair market value on the books, taking the loss on its financial statements. The S&L industry, however, was
in dire straits. Reporting a commercial loss on the deal would not look good, and might get bank regulators, auditors and others asking questions. Here is what the bank did to hide its loss. Another
developer showed up, with similar delusions of grandeur and an equally pitiful pipedream, except his was twice as large. He wanted a $6 million construction loan. The bank hired an appraiser to concoct
the appraisal for the original empty strip mall that valued it at $5 million, even higher than the original pie-in-the-sky price tag that the original developer dreamed up. The MAI commercial appraiser
would appraise it for whatever number the bank wanted. The bank would tell the second developer that it would loan him the $6 million if he would buy the empty strip mall for $5 million. The bank
would loan the developer the money to make the down payment on the empty strip mall, and the first two years of loan payments. The developer never got his hands on that money, but the bank held it
in escrow, taking the money out of the commercial account to make the down payment and loan payments.
When the bank made the $6 million commercial construction loan to the second developer, and played internal accounting games to concoct the “sale” of the first strip mall, instead of recording the $1
million loss, it recorded a $2 million gain, had a new performing loan on the first strip mall, and the loan was guaranteed to have loan payments made on it for two years. Here is a chart to show how the
commercial bank hid the loss.
Original loan
$3,000,000
Second MAI and sale price to second developer $5,000,000
Gain on phony sale to second developer
$2,000,000
So, with some fancy games and pliant appraisers, the commercial bank recorded a $2 million gain on its deal making. The reality, however, was that $9 million had gone out the door, the bank was
paying 15% interest to depositors, and no money was coming in, not even interest payments. "
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK (MAI-Made as Instructed Appraisers? Commercial Appraisers?)
1. The Defendants Improperly Used Bargain Sale Transactions to Conceal the True Financial Condition of Defendant Church Extension 30. From at least 1996 to at least April 2002, the Defendants and
others engaged in a scheme to conceal Defendant Church Extension's mounting financial difficulties in order to, among other things, entice investors to invest and/or reinvest. Specifically, the Defendants
and others improperly used bargain sale transactions to generate false paper income by recognizing the difference between the price paid by Defendant Church Extension and/or United Management
and falsely inflated appraisal values as non-cash contributions. Some of appraisers used in connection with the bargain sale transactions were Members of the Appraisal Institute, i.e., MAI appraisals. The
appraisals used by the Defendants and others were false for several reasons, including, but not limited to: a) the use of overstated net-operating income figures, which formed the basis of some
appraisals; b) the failure to account for the limited real-estate market of some of the properties, due to federal regulations and private covenants; and c) the failure to account for potential environmental
hazards on some of the real-estate properties. Significantly, because inflated appraisal values were used, the price paid by Defendants Church Extension and/or United Management was a much closer
reflection of the actual value of the properties than the inflated appraisal values. Thus, as a result of using falsely inflated appraisal values, the Defendants and others artificially increased the amount of
non-cash contributions that Defendants Church Extension and/or United Management recognized as income.
2. Plaintiff notified Defendant on May 25, 2004 that it was exercising its option to purchase the
property. Being in agreement that Plaintiff had the right to purchase the property, the parties agreed
to determine the purchase price by each engaging an appraiser who was a member of the Appraisal
Institute (MAI), with the purchase price to be the average of the two appraisals. Plaintiff engaged
an appraiser from Atlanta, Georgia, while Defendant retained an appraiser from Nashville,
Tennessee. The two appraisals were significantly different. The appraised value determined by
Plaintiff’s appraiser was $1,470,000. The value as determined by Defendant’s appraiser was
$2,375,000.
3. Therefore, on the basis of our review of the record, we conclude that the court properly determined that the plaintiff had met its burden of showing that the city's assessor (jOHN lEARY, mai) had
overvalued the subject property and that such a finding was legally and logically correct and supported by the evidence before the court.
4. The town’s appraiser, Christopher K. Kerin (Kerin) MAI, determined that the fair market value
of the subject property on the October 1, 1995 grand list was as follows:
Land $4,825,000
Site improvements 1,000,000
Main building 9,175,000
__________
$15,000,000
Our determination (trier of fact) of value of the subject property, as of October 1, 1995 is as
follows:
Land $4,825,000
Site improvements 1,000,000
Building 5,239,819
___________
Total $11,064,819
5. "As a residential review appraiser with 14 years experience, I see appraiser fraud weekly," says a northeastern appraiser who says he is working with the FBI. At the same time I was turning in these 17
fraud reports, I was warned by a prominent Appraisal Institute member not to submit those of a certain ethnic race appraiser because he was well politically entrenched and it could backfire on me," notes
the source. "Also, at the same time, I confided in a local Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) about the appraisal fraud both in my local area and inside his local AI residential membership.
This MAI later told me to be careful because I could die by the same sword I was wielding (a professional death, not physical death)."
6. False Appraisals
I'm looking at an MAI (commercial appraiser) appraisal right now from one of the most respected appraisers in our area that I know has been influenced in several ways (the appraisal has been
influenced, not him). The representations from the owner of the property concerning zoning, development, potential purchase offers and comparable sales have boosted the value.
7. Inclosed is a bound hardcopy of the complaint I previously filed with the
North Carolina Appraisal Board against John K. Weaver, MAI, (a.k.a. "Jack"
Weaver, commercial appraiser) who is the Deputy Director and Chief Investigator of the North
Carolina Appraisal Board (NCAB). (This complaint text is also available
online at www.boardwatch.org/htmfiles/complainttext1.htm .) Copies of Mr.
Weaver's complete research files are also inclosed in "bound report format,"
as are copies of four appraisal reports on the subject property in question
at the NCAB hearing in question.
The NCAB sat on the complaint for many months and then participated in a scam
to "sweep the complaint under the rug." Following in this letter is text
extracted from a post I made 11/16/2001 to an online discussion group for
real estate appraisers across the country (www.AppraisersForum.com) which
explains and documents the response of the NCAB. (The full post can be found
at http://appraisersforum.com/bbs/index.cgi?read=20707 .) Also included is a
printout of a website page from www.BoardWatch.org (via the "FAQ" hyperlink
from the homepage) which provides a very brief overview of the whole
situation. As the NCAB shirked its responsibilities in the matter, I am now
asking the Appraisal Institute to investigate the behavior of this Institute
member.
(Commercial Real Estate Appraiser, Los Angeles, Commercial Appraisal Services, and Commercial Appraiser)
8. The behavior of this Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) is unacceptable if not outrageous. I've heard no one suggest otherwise. I dislike putting it this bluntly, but here it is in a nutshell: For the
sake of preserving or regaining integrity in North Carolina appraising, it has become necessary to put the Appraisal Institute to the test. The questions are these:
Is the Appraisal Institute part of the problem in North Carolina?
Is the AI an enabler?
9. If memory serves me correctly, it was members of the Appraisal Institute (the self proclaimed leader of appraisal association, designated with the "prestigious" MAI that were co-conspirators of the S&L
crisis.
Industry organizations are concerned with one thing: their own survival. With appraisal organizations competing for members, they are more focused on their own self preservation than on the betterment
of the industry as a whole.

The various trade associations are impotent. The members of the Appraisal Foundation only count as one vote, so they are regularly outnumbered by the members of the very industry that promotes
appraisal fraud.
I believe that a merging of organizations is a necessity. However, I explicitely exclud the AI. The AI has regularly supported AVMs and stood against the interests of the general practice appraiser, so it is
not longer a viable force for change in the industry. In fact, they have often sided with the lending industry against the rest of the appraisal organizations.
Again, Roger hits it on the nose. An organzation that is purported to be in existance for the appraiser. Today, likely 99% of all residential appraisals are communicated to the lender and/or clients via
email or the internet. We most commonly transmit these in .pdf format since Adobe Acrobat Reader is readily available to all at no cost. Several lenders want appraisals delivered in what is called AI
(Appraisal Institute) ready format. This data format completely rearranges the data structure of the report. The data is thought to be disseminated into their AVM database. No one but the insiders can
prove this, however this format also does something else which is very disturbing. The appraiser's digital signature is removed from the report itself and transmitted as a separate .jpg file. This
comprimises the security of the report allowing the possibility of data to be changed. It is a violation of USPAP for an appraiser to knowingly comprimise the security of their digital signatures/reports.
Who would have thought? To comply with the Appraisal Institute brand of appraisal delivery, one has to violate USPAP.
10. Is this accepting an appraisal with a predetermined value?
Hello Curtis,
A member of Appraisal Data Connection is searching for market data.
Diane Gilbert, MAI, (Appraisal Institute, commercial real estate appraiser) is appraising a proposed 60,000 square foot upscale
residential mansion near Orlando, Florida (yes, that's 60,000 square
feet!)
The property is located along the popular Butler Chain of Lakes and will
have numerous atypical amenities including an indoor and outdoor pool, a
bowling alley, indoor skating rink, a huge ballroom and colonnade, media
rooms, 2-story library, 10 bedroom suites, and staff quarters.
Diane is looking for sales of similar huge top quality residential
properties anywhere in the U.S.
Sales in excess of $15 million are preferred, (MAI COMMERCIAL APPRAISAL) and sales along waterfront
or some type of resort location would be a plus.
Her best contact method is by email. If you can help or know someone who
can, please email Diane directly at:

The malleability of (real estate) appraisals has been a fact of life since for as long as I can remember, and that is probably longer than most readers have been alive. Down around the bankruptcy court,
they used to say that "MAI" stands for "Made as Instructed."

Working With (Business Valuation) Expert Witnesses
In real estate, the Appraisal Institute awards a designation, MAI, Member, Appraisal Institute. For a variety of reasons, MAI came to have the derogatory meaning, "made as instructed." Being an "mai"
appraiser, whether in real estate, business appraisal, or any other field of expertise is a prescription for a short-term career. http://merceronvalue.com/archives/2006/04/working_with_bu.html
13. David, from the St. Louis Chapter of the Appraisal Institute, just told me last week that at a recent seminar, an instructor from Guess Who told the group attending the seminar in Typical Delphi Scam
and Cognitive Dissonance fashion, that appraisers would go out of business if they refused to perform AVMs for the banking cartel and the GSEs. Sending the Appraisal Institute $950 Bucks in MAI,
SRPA, SRA professional dues for 2005 is going to be a really tough decision. If I can find a real job that pays, they won't get my money anymore. Besides being a State Certified General Realty Appraiser
is just as good as having Made As Instructed behind my name -- because that's what the public perceives me to be anyway now -- a member of the world's oldest profession.

14. Gesoff v. IIC Industries Inc. et al., in the Delaware Chancery Court decided May 18,

The parent then offered its appraisals, but the Court saw them as flawed and smacking of
made-as-instructed justification after the fact. In particular, its appraiser did adjust downwards a
management projection without any justification, failed to take into account appreciated realty,
and used a small company premium without regard to the fact that subsidiaries were, in effect,
large businesses in their respective emerging markets

Commercial real estate Appraiser (Charles D. Bailey, MAI) disciplined; taxpayers paid millions
MANY ERRORS ALLEGED IN PURCHASE OF CARGILL PONDS FOR $100 MILLION IN 2003
By Paul Rogers
Mercury News
Susanna Frohman / Mercury News archives
In 2002, then-Gov. Gray Davis and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, above, announce a $100 million deal for the Cargill salt ponds. Complaint against appraiser Charles Bailey (MAI) (PDF) The settlement
agreement (PDF)
The appraiser (Charles D. Bailey, MAI) whose report helped set the $100 million price taxpayers paid in the 2003 Cargill salt ponds deal has been disciplined on allegations that he made numerous errors
and violated federal standards when he set a value for the property.
The state attorney general's office brought a misconduct complaint against Charles Bailey (MAI) of Mill Valley this summer, alleging 24 significant errors in his appraisal of Cargill lands for the federal
government in December 2000.
Bailey, who denied any wrongdoing, agreed Sept. 27 to a censure of his license, known as a ``public reproval.'' He also will pay $4,000 to cover the costs of the state investigation. Although he will keep
his license and can continue working, any disciplinary action on an appraiser's record is very harmful to his career, said Deputy Attorney General Char Sachson.
News of the settlement heightened concerns that taxpayers may have overpaid by millions of dollars when government agencies bought 16,500 acres of Cargill salt evaporation ponds from Hayward to
Alviso to Redwood City in March 2003. It also brought calls Tuesday from political leaders for less secrecy in public land deals.
16. IS THIS MAI APPRAISER INCOMPETENCY?
Anyone know any sources of gross sales per store data for specific chains? I am appraising three proposed facilities that are being leased with a level base minimum rent but actual rent is the greater of
that minimum rent or 10% of gross sales. I believe if I use the minimum I could be undervaluing, but am not comfortable using the projections provided without at least seeing something to compare them
to. They are slightly above the minimum rent threshhold.

Mr. Ness, MAI was apparently so embarrassed by his own lack of knowledge that he has removed his request from the AppraisalForum.com website. The sometimes humorous responses are

I need a state licensed or certified appraiser. I am more interested in experience and education than any phony designations, that try to cover up their lack of experience and

Albany — A real estate appraisal that the City of Middletown relied on to sell off a property two years ago was so riddled with faults that questions later arose over whether Robert Buckles " (Appraisal
Institute, Associate Member) prepared an appraisal with a predetermined value," a state investigator testified yesterday. In the same hearing, an expert appraiser testified that the appraisal of the 14-acre
property on Ruth Court used outdated property sales for comparisons.

19. LETTER FROM THE (UTAH Appraisal Institute-MAI) PRESIDENT, 2006
I am proud to be a member of this professional organization. I had been ignorant to the extreme member benefits until I began serving on the Board in 1999. I want to inform you of the
advantages regarding Appraisal Institute membership. A few of the programs and promotions by National which benefit members include.
4. Lobbying Efforts
National has a full time staff of three attorneys in Washington, DC working on our behalf to keep up with federal legislation and other initiatives that impact our profession and to act as a liaison to the
local chapters in keeping up with state issues. We also have our own local lobbyist who works with Utah appraisers. Lobbying is one of those behind the scenes activities that many of us may not
give much thought to however, the efforts of these people affect us individually and our profession in ways that many of us are unaware.
20. Mr. Levy describes in his succinct essay the stranglehold that the banking cartel has on the realty valuation industry. The Appraisal Institute has an affiliate appraisal management company called
REAS (Real Estate Appraisal Services) which operates http://www.aidirectconnection.com. REAS is owned by Charter One Financial Corporation, the 25th largest bank holding company in the USA, home
based in Ohio. Royal Bank of Scotland is in merger and acquisition negotiations with Charter One to become the 7th largest bank holding company in the USA, after the Bank One and JPChase
Manhattan merger as the second largest banking conglomerate. This conflict of interest doesn't get any more blatant than these facts. ( AI Direct Connection® AI Direct Connection
AI Direct Connection provides the real estate marketplace with an efficient and cost-effective means to acquire quality appraisal services. Appraisers can sign up, free of charge, to be included on the fee
panel, specifying their services or specialties. AI Direct Connection then sells those services directly to the client. FIND OUT MORE HERE)
21. Excuse me—you're standing on my bonus … reflections on credit culture
RMA Journal, The, May, 2005 by David H. Wesley
Banks have been widely lauded for their performance through the most recent downturn. Pressure for revenue growth has invariably led to deal creep--pricing concessions, then deal structure
concessions (covenant, guarantees, advance rates, etc.), and then the rationalization that otherwise marginal credits are acceptable. It takes both courage and conviction to remain disciplined and
diligent to not trade off your credit risk principles. Looking back at performance during the last downturn, some things were done particularly well, while others could have been done better.
Following are a few of the excuses that we all have heard (or have used) in the credit approval process, along with their subliminal translations.
We have an MAI appraisal that supports the request.
Translation: The appraisal is a made-as-instructed real estate valuation.

The Appraisal Institute has had "conflict of issue", issues for many years now. Especially with Charter One Bank and also Washington Mutual (WAMU). The Appraisal Institute doesn't seem to care. This
being "in bed" with Charter One and Washington Mutual was a big part of our boycott of the Appraisal Institute a few years ago when the AI decided to create their own AVM (AIRD) with Charter One
Bank and WAMU as their biggest backers.
Also, the AI can't even advertise without lying. They have been running radio ads here in Massachusetts, where they tout the lie that "Appraisal Institute Members are better qualified and have more
education" than non-Appraisal Institute members. I can't wait till the first homeowner here gets an AI member with only 2 years experience; and the job is way over their head.
The sooner we as an industry get rid of Appraisal Management companies, and designation "tea clubs", the better off we will be.

FBI: Appraisal Fraud Serious (Commercial Appraiser, sic); Calls for Industry to Team up with Law Enforcement
July 2006
In a June 14 speech, a Federal Bureau of Investigation specialist said that appraisal fraud has become the most serious form of mortgage fraud. In a presentation to an American Bankers Association
conference in Orlando, Ronda Helig, supervisory special agent for the FBI, said that appraisal fraud accounts for 80 percent of all the mortgage fraud that is reported and that the average loss per
occurrence of appraisal fraud exceeds $60,000. Based on these figures, Helig called for a cooperative response between industry and law enforcement.

Successfully using forensic appraisals (appraiser) in the tax courts requires that the property owner understand the special issues involved with these types of appraisals, as they differ significantly from
typical real estate appraisals. The differences cover the gamut of legal issues from communication between the client and the appraiser through the legal admissibility of appraisal methodology.
Kacha v. Allstate Ins. Co. (06/26/06 - No. D046961)
A judgment confirming an insurance commercial appraisal award involving property damaged by a wildfire is reversed pursuant to an insured's claims that: 1) the award exceeded the appraisers'
jurisdiction, and the trial court erred by finding he waived the jurisdictional rule; and 2) the court erred by finding he was precluded from challenging the appraisal award because he took possession of,
but did not negotiate, checks the insurer provided him to cover the award.

Foreword
This is the fifth edition of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions. The Standards were originally published in 1971 with the most recent revision published in 1992. The existing
Standards have earned a prestigious position. They are frequently cited by Congress in legislation relating to the valuation of federal land acquisitions and have guided the appraisal process in these
matters since their original issuance by the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference. & The Interagency Land Acquisition Conference, established on November 27, 1968, by invitation of the Attorney
General, is a voluntary organization composed of representatives from the many federal agencies engaged in the acquisition of real estate for public uses. The Conference adopted and continues to
adhere to several goals with respect to land acquisition, including the promulgation of uniform appraisal standards and guidelines for appraisal reports. The broad experience of the member
representatives of the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference assures that the federal appraisal standards developed for land acquisitions are uniform, fair, and efficient. The Interagency Land
Acquisition Conference is chaired by the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. Its activities are conducted by ad hoc committees
composed of member representatives.
The Interagency Land Acquisition Conference Executive is Virginia P. Butler, Chief of the Land Acquisition Section of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. James D.
Eaton, MAI, of the Appraisal Unit, Department of Justice, authored this 2000 revision of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions. He was assisted in this effort by Appraisal Unit
Chief Brian Holly, MAI; trial attorney Marc Gordon; and Ms. Butler. These Standards were submitted to the Appraisal Institute for editorial review and the Department of Justice grate-fully
acknowledges the editorial assistance of the Appraisal Institute in their preparation. While the vast majority of federal land acquisition is achieved through voluntary means, sometimes litigation is
necessary. With this in mind, Mr. Eaton has done an admirable job of updating the case law, expand-ing the treatment of novel or difficult valuation questions, and recognizing the vast changes that have
recently characterized the real estate appraisal profession.
2006 Appraisal Information Needs Survey Results
During August 2006, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (NAR) Marketing Research Department invited 86,777 appraiser members and recipients of the Appraisal Section of the weekly NAR
ListServe message to participate in an online survey. Findings reflected in this report were collected from responses received between August 10th and 25th, 2006.
The goal of the survey was to understand how Appraiser members conduct their business, obtain appraisal industry information, and make decisions on their appraisal education and designations.

Joel Henson's business, Dixie Drywall Co., is located on about one-and-a-half acres of land off
Valley Street. About one acre of the property is grass.
Instead of continually paying a landscaping company $75 to cut the grass, he decided to try to sell
that piece of his property. After determining an asking price, he called Ron Kuczak, a local real
estate appraiser.
"He came out and gave me my options,"
Henson said. "He more or less determined
what the land would be worth if I kept it and
put up some warehouses."

REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL
Nature of Appraisal Work (U.S. Department of Labor
Bureau of Labor Statistics)
Commercial appraisers and assessors of real estate estimate the value of real property for a variety of purposes, such as to assess property tax, to determine a sales price, or to determine the amount of a mortgage that might be
granted on a property. They may be called on to determine the value of any type of real estate, ranging from farmland to a major shopping center, although they often specialize in appraising or assessing only a certain type of real estate
such as residential buildings or commercial properties. Assessors determine the value of all properties in a locality for property tax purposes whereas appraisers appraise properties one at a time for a variety of purposes, such as to
determine what a good sale price would be for a home or to settle an estate or aid in a divorce settlement.
FannieMae's Property (Commercial Appraiser, SIC) and Appraisal Guidelines—details their general requirements for analyzing the property residential appraisal, rather than commercial, aspects of conventional mortgages secured by
one- to four-family properties. It also discusses special considerations for certain types of housing-units in condominium, PUD, and cooperative projects; manufactured (and other factory-built) homes; Community Living group homes;
mixed-use properties; properties affected by environmental hazards; urban properties; affordable housing program properties; properties located in special assessment or community facilities districts; properties subject to leasehold
interests (including those held by community land trusts); and energy-efficient properties—that merit special consideration in the property and appraisal review. Because the evaluation of a property is such a vital part of the risk
analysis, they expect a lender to place as much emphasis on underwriting the property and reviewing the appraisal as it does on underwriting the borrower's commercial creditworthiness.

THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM!
Appraisal Institute's (mai) Top Dog (John Ross, CEO) Jumps Ship
Ross: "After nine years with the organization, I feel that the timing is good for me to explore other opportunities."
Ross: "I’d like to see the organization (the appraisal institute) strengthen its ties with the academic community. The profession needs to focus now on developing more theoretically based
tools and on things like behavioral finance and economics – which is ultimately what dictates the operation of markets. I’ve often stated that the mark of any profession is in the development of new
theory, and in my estimation there have been few, if any, advances in this regard in the appraisal profession for the last 25 years or more. I’d like to see the Appraisal Institute more involved
in some way in such thought creation."

XI, 406.03: Adjustments to Comparable Sales (06/30/02)
Each comparable sale that is used in the sales comparison approach to value must be analyzed for differences and similarities between it and the property that is being appraised. The appraiser must
base his or her analysis and any adjustments to the comparable sales on the market data for the particular neighborhood and for competing locat1ons—not on predetermined or assumed dollar
adjustments. If an appraiser's adjustments to comparable sales (or the reconciliation of the comparable sales) are based on unsupported assumptions or personal opinion that cannot be supported by
market data, poor quality appraisals that could have a discriminatory effect may result."

INTERNATIONAL RIGHT OF WAY ASSOCIATION (IRWA)
Chapter 1 –Los Angeles County
2006 Annual Fall Seminar
Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Quiet Cannon, Montebello, CA
The Los Angeles World Airport's (LAWA) Director of Economic Development admits that the Manchester Square “Voluntary Purchase” Program is a part of LAWA’s Master Plan. This statement was supported by one staff member who
presented maps indicating that this area has been set aside for parking.
This Freudian slip of the tough could have major legal consequences since under the agencies “voluntary purchase program” homeowners were not paid Fair Market Value which is “the highest price” required by State Law in
condemnation cases.
For years Vivian Howell, an IRWA and LAWA mucky muck, has stated that we are not going to pay them “the highest price” because this is a voluntary program.
This in addition to using unethical appraisal practices like using unqualified appraisal trainees, consultants colluding on values, standardized comparable adjustments, and in some cases- appraising of property based upon it's existing
use, rather than it's “highest and best use.” It is estimated that these combined, secret practices, have cost property owners millions.
The Director also stated that he foresaw a number of inverse condemnation cases being filed against the agency, by current residents, because the LAWA project has left their neighborhood in a shambles.
If you are a homeowner, property, or seller of property to LAWA in this area we strongly suggest that you contact a qualified Real Estate Condemnation Attorney, or Relocation Expert, and demand a full hearing into these issues.

It appears that discrimination is something that the Appraisal Institute knows a lot about. In fact they use to be called The American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers until they were sued, for
discrimination, by the Federal Government. They then changed their name to the Appraisal Institute, same pig, different shade of lipstick. (The MAI Appraiser Standard, Larry A Mc Coy, MAI)

HOW TO CONDUCT A MAI (MADE AS INSTRUCTED?) APPRAISAL
Quote from David Rosenthal, MAI
Here are some tips from seasoned practitioner, David Rosenthal, MAI (Managing Director of Curtis-Rosenthal, LLC) that can help make your next appraisal experience easy and productive.
"4. Supply all of your market data, up front. Nothing says that your appraiser has to independently find all of the relevant market information. Data is data, so make the job easier and share any
market data that you have already developed. The appraiser will decide which data to use and how to best use it. Give your appraiser a running start with the benefit of your advance research."

The Whitewaters & Castle Grandes of Texas and ALL Across America
The S&L Gold Rush - The Lack Of Public Accounting
If the bank’s board of directors were the ones doing the looting, however, they readily hired a pliant appraiser to cook up whatever appraisal value they wanted. Behind every fraudulent loan was a
fraudulent appraisal. It is nearly impossible for appraisers to render independent appraisals if the people hiring them do not want one. When I was in public accounting, auditors joked that MAI stood for
“Made As Instructed.” The commercial appraisals were largely worthless because they were not independently rendered. It is so obvious that it should be beneath mention, but that situation still exists.
Even if the bank could not find a bona fide buyer, it was supposed to write down the property to fair market value on the books, taking the loss on its financial statements. The S&L industry, however, was
in dire straits. Reporting a commercial loss on the deal would not look good, and might get bank regulators, auditors and others asking questions. Here is what the bank did to hide its loss. Another
developer showed up, with similar delusions of grandeur and an equally pitiful pipedream, except his was twice as large. He wanted a $6 million construction loan. The bank hired an appraiser to concoct
the appraisal for the original empty strip mall that valued it at $5 million, even higher than the original pie-in-the-sky price tag that the original developer dreamed up. The MAI commercial appraiser
would appraise it for whatever number the bank wanted. The bank would tell the second developer that it would loan him the $6 million if he would buy the empty strip mall for $5 million. The bank
would loan the developer the money to make the down payment on the empty strip mall, and the first two years of loan payments. The developer never got his hands on that money, but the bank held it
in escrow, taking the money out of the commercial account to make the down payment and loan payments.
When the bank made the $6 million commercial construction loan to the second developer, and played internal accounting games to concoct the “sale” of the first strip mall, instead of recording the $1
million loss, it recorded a $2 million gain, had a new performing loan on the first strip mall, and the loan was guaranteed to have loan payments made on it for two years. Here is a chart to show how the
commercial bank hid the loss.
Original loan
$3,000,000
Second MAI and sale price to second developer $5,000,000
Gain on phony sale to second developer
$2,000,000
So, with some fancy games and pliant appraisers, the commercial bank recorded a $2 million gain on its deal making. The reality, however, was that $9 million had gone out the door, the bank was
paying 15% interest to depositors, and no money was coming in, not even interest payments. "
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK (MAI-Made as Instructed Appraisers? Commercial Appraisers?)
1. The Defendants Improperly Used Bargain Sale Transactions to Conceal the True Financial Condition of Defendant Church Extension 30. From at least 1996 to at least April 2002, the Defendants and
others engaged in a scheme to conceal Defendant Church Extension's mounting financial difficulties in order to, among other things, entice investors to invest and/or reinvest. Specifically, the Defendants
and others improperly used bargain sale transactions to generate false paper income by recognizing the difference between the price paid by Defendant Church Extension and/or United Management
and falsely inflated appraisal values as non-cash contributions. Some of appraisers used in connection with the bargain sale transactions were Members of the Appraisal Institute, i.e., MAI appraisals. The
appraisals used by the Defendants and others were false for several reasons, including, but not limited to: a) the use of overstated net-operating income figures, which formed the basis of some
appraisals; b) the failure to account for the limited real-estate market of some of the properties, due to federal regulations and private covenants; and c) the failure to account for potential environmental
hazards on some of the real-estate properties. Significantly, because inflated appraisal values were used, the price paid by Defendants Church Extension and/or United Management was a much closer
reflection of the actual value of the properties than the inflated appraisal values. Thus, as a result of using falsely inflated appraisal values, the Defendants and others artificially increased the amount of
non-cash contributions that Defendants Church Extension and/or United Management recognized as income.
2. Plaintiff notified Defendant on May 25, 2004 that it was exercising its option to purchase the
property. Being in agreement that Plaintiff had the right to purchase the property, the parties agreed
to determine the purchase price by each engaging an appraiser who was a member of the Appraisal
Institute (MAI), with the purchase price to be the average of the two appraisals. Plaintiff engaged
an appraiser from Atlanta, Georgia, while Defendant retained an appraiser from Nashville,
Tennessee. The two appraisals were significantly different. The appraised value determined by
Plaintiff’s appraiser was $1,470,000. The value as determined by Defendant’s appraiser was
$2,375,000.
3. Therefore, on the basis of our review of the record, we conclude that the court properly determined that the plaintiff had met its burden of showing that the city's assessor (jOHN lEARY, mai) had
overvalued the subject property and that such a finding was legally and logically correct and supported by the evidence before the court.
4. The town’s appraiser, Christopher K. Kerin (Kerin) MAI, determined that the fair market value
of the subject property on the October 1, 1995 grand list was as follows:
Land $4,825,000
Site improvements 1,000,000
Main building 9,175,000
__________
$15,000,000
Our determination (trier of fact) of value of the subject property, as of October 1, 1995 is as
follows:
Land $4,825,000
Site improvements 1,000,000
Building 5,239,819
___________
Total $11,064,819
5. "As a residential review appraiser with 14 years experience, I see appraiser fraud weekly," says a northeastern appraiser who says he is working with the FBI. At the same time I was turning in these 17
fraud reports, I was warned by a prominent Appraisal Institute member not to submit those of a certain ethnic race appraiser because he was well politically entrenched and it could backfire on me," notes
the source. "Also, at the same time, I confided in a local Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) about the appraisal fraud both in my local area and inside his local AI residential membership.
This MAI later told me to be careful because I could die by the same sword I was wielding (a professional death, not physical death)."
6. False Appraisals
I'm looking at an MAI (commercial appraiser) appraisal right now from one of the most respected appraisers in our area that I know has been influenced in several ways (the appraisal has been
influenced, not him). The representations from the owner of the property concerning zoning, development, potential purchase offers and comparable sales have boosted the value.
7. Inclosed is a bound hardcopy of the complaint I previously filed with the
North Carolina Appraisal Board against John K. Weaver, MAI, (a.k.a. "Jack"
Weaver, commercial appraiser) who is the Deputy Director and Chief Investigator of the North
Carolina Appraisal Board (NCAB). (This complaint text is also available
online at www.boardwatch.org/htmfiles/complainttext1.htm .) Copies of Mr.
Weaver's complete research files are also inclosed in "bound report format,"
as are copies of four appraisal reports on the subject property in question
at the NCAB hearing in question.
The NCAB sat on the complaint for many months and then participated in a scam
to "sweep the complaint under the rug." Following in this letter is text
extracted from a post I made 11/16/2001 to an online discussion group for
real estate appraisers across the country (www.AppraisersForum.com) which
explains and documents the response of the NCAB. (The full post can be found
at http://appraisersforum.com/bbs/index.cgi?read=20707 .) Also included is a
printout of a website page from www.BoardWatch.org (via the "FAQ" hyperlink
from the homepage) which provides a very brief overview of the whole
situation. As the NCAB shirked its responsibilities in the matter, I am now
asking the Appraisal Institute to investigate the behavior of this Institute
member.
(Commercial Real Estate Appraiser, Los Angeles, Commercial Appraisal Services, and Commercial Appraiser)
8. The behavior of this Member of the Appraisal Institute (MAI) is unacceptable if not outrageous. I've heard no one suggest otherwise. I dislike putting it this bluntly, but here it is in a nutshell: For the
sake of preserving or regaining integrity in North Carolina appraising, it has become necessary to put the Appraisal Institute to the test. The questions are these:
Is the Appraisal Institute part of the problem in North Carolina?
Is the AI an enabler?
9. If memory serves me correctly, it was members of the Appraisal Institute (the self proclaimed leader of appraisal association, designated with the "prestigious" MAI that were co-conspirators of the S&L
crisis.
Industry organizations are concerned with one thing: their own survival. With appraisal organizations competing for members, they are more focused on their own self preservation than on the betterment
of the industry as a whole.

The various trade associations are impotent. The members of the Appraisal Foundation only count as one vote, so they are regularly outnumbered by the members of the very industry that promotes
appraisal fraud.
I believe that a merging of organizations is a necessity. However, I explicitely exclud the AI. The AI has regularly supported AVMs and stood against the interests of the general practice appraiser, so it is
not longer a viable force for change in the industry. In fact, they have often sided with the lending industry against the rest of the appraisal organizations.
Again, Roger hits it on the nose. An organzation that is purported to be in existance for the appraiser. Today, likely 99% of all residential appraisals are communicated to the lender and/or clients via
email or the internet. We most commonly transmit these in .pdf format since Adobe Acrobat Reader is readily available to all at no cost. Several lenders want appraisals delivered in what is called AI
(Appraisal Institute) ready format. This data format completely rearranges the data structure of the report. The data is thought to be disseminated into their AVM database. No one but the insiders can
prove this, however this format also does something else which is very disturbing. The appraiser's digital signature is removed from the report itself and transmitted as a separate .jpg file. This
comprimises the security of the report allowing the possibility of data to be changed. It is a violation of USPAP for an appraiser to knowingly comprimise the security of their digital signatures/reports.
Who would have thought? To comply with the Appraisal Institute brand of appraisal delivery, one has to violate USPAP.

In real estate, the Appraisal Institute awards a designation, MAI, Member, Appraisal Institute. For a variety of reasons, MAI came to have the derogatory meaning, "made as instructed." Being an "mai"

SRPA, SRA professional dues for 2005 is going to be a really tough decision. If I can find a real job that pays, they won't get my money anymore. Besides being a State Certified General Realty Appraiser

management projection without any justification, failed to take into account appreciated realty,
and used a small company premium without regard to the fact that subsidiaries were, in effect,
large businesses in their respective emerging markets

MANY ERRORS ALLEGED IN PURCHASE OF CARGILL PONDS FOR $100 MILLION IN 2003
By Paul Rogers
Mercury News
Susanna Frohman / Mercury News archives
In 2002, then-Gov. Gray Davis and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, above, announce a $100 million deal for the Cargill salt ponds. Complaint against appraiser Charles Bailey (MAI) (PDF) The settlement
agreement (PDF)
The appraiser (Charles D. Bailey, MAI) whose report helped set the $100 million price taxpayers paid in the 2003 Cargill salt ponds deal has been disciplined on allegations that he made numerous errors
and violated federal standards when he set a value for the property.
The state attorney general's office brought a misconduct complaint against Charles Bailey (MAI) of Mill Valley this summer, alleging 24 significant errors in his appraisal of Cargill lands for the federal
government in December 2000.
Bailey, who denied any wrongdoing, agreed Sept. 27 to a censure of his license, known as a ``public reproval.'' He also will pay $4,000 to cover the costs of the state investigation. Although he will keep
his license and can continue working, any disciplinary action on an appraiser's record is very harmful to his career, said Deputy Attorney General Char Sachson.
News of the settlement heightened concerns that taxpayers may have overpaid by millions of dollars when government agencies bought 16,500 acres of Cargill salt evaporation ponds from Hayward to
Alviso to Redwood City in March 2003. It also brought calls Tuesday from political leaders for less secrecy in public land deals.
16. IS THIS MAI APPRAISER INCOMPETENCY?
Anyone know any sources of gross sales per store data for specific chains? I am appraising three proposed facilities that are being leased with a level base minimum rent but actual rent is the greater of
that minimum rent or 10% of gross sales. I believe if I use the minimum I could be undervaluing, but am not comfortable using the projections provided without at least seeing something to compare them
to. They are slightly above the minimum rent threshhold.

give much thought to however, the efforts of these people affect us individually and our profession in ways that many of us are unaware.
20. Mr. Levy describes in his succinct essay the stranglehold that the banking cartel has on the realty valuation industry. The Appraisal Institute has an affiliate appraisal management company called
REAS (Real Estate Appraisal Services) which operates http://www.aidirectconnection.com. REAS is owned by Charter One Financial Corporation, the 25th largest bank holding company in the USA, home
based in Ohio. Royal Bank of Scotland is in merger and acquisition negotiations with Charter One to become the 7th largest bank holding company in the USA, after the Bank One and JPChase
Manhattan merger as the second largest banking conglomerate. This conflict of interest doesn't get any more blatant than these facts. ( AI Direct Connection® AI Direct Connection

21. Excuse me—you're standing on my bonus … reflections on credit culture
RMA Journal, The, May, 2005 by David H. Wesley
Banks have been widely lauded for their performance through the most recent downturn. Pressure for revenue growth has invariably led to deal creep--pricing concessions, then deal structure
concessions (covenant, guarantees, advance rates, etc.), and then the rationalization that otherwise marginal credits are acceptable. It takes both courage and conviction to remain disciplined and
diligent to not trade off your credit risk principles. Looking back at performance during the last downturn, some things were done particularly well, while others could have been done better.
Following are a few of the excuses that we all have heard (or have used) in the credit approval process, along with their subliminal translations.
We have an MAI appraisal that supports the request.
Translation: The appraisal is a made-as-instructed real estate valuation.

The Appraisal Institute has had "conflict of issue", issues for many years now. Especially with Charter One Bank and also Washington Mutual (WAMU). The Appraisal Institute doesn't seem to care. This
being "in bed" with Charter One and Washington Mutual was a big part of our boycott of the Appraisal Institute a few years ago when the AI decided to create their own AVM (AIRD) with Charter One
Bank and WAMU as their biggest backers.
Also, the AI can't even advertise without lying. They have been running radio ads here in Massachusetts, where they tout the lie that "Appraisal Institute Members are better qualified and have more
education" than non-Appraisal Institute members. I can't wait till the first homeowner here gets an AI member with only 2 years experience; and the job is way over their head.
The sooner we as an industry get rid of Appraisal Management companies, and designation "tea clubs", the better off we will be.

In a June 14 speech, a Federal Bureau of Investigation specialist said that appraisal fraud has become the most serious form of mortgage fraud. In a presentation to an American Bankers Association
conference in Orlando, Ronda Helig, supervisory special agent for the FBI, said that appraisal fraud accounts for 80 percent of all the mortgage fraud that is reported and that the average loss per
occurrence of appraisal fraud exceeds $60,000. Based on these figures, Helig called for a cooperative response between industry and law enforcement.

Successfully using forensic appraisals (appraiser) in the tax courts requires that the property owner understand the special issues involved with these types of appraisals, as they differ significantly from
typical real estate appraisals. The differences cover the gamut of legal issues from communication between the client and the appraiser through the legal admissibility of appraisal methodology.

representatives of the Interagency Land Acquisition Conference assures that the federal appraisal standards developed for land acquisitions are uniform, fair, and efficient. The Interagency Land
Acquisition Conference is chaired by the Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. Its activities are conducted by ad hoc committees
composed of member representatives.
The Interagency Land Acquisition Conference Executive is Virginia P. Butler, Chief of the Land Acquisition Section of the Environment and Natural Resources Division, Department of Justice. James D.
Eaton, MAI, of the Appraisal Unit, Department of Justice, authored this 2000 revision of the Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions. He was assisted in this effort by Appraisal Unit
Chief Brian Holly, MAI; trial attorney Marc Gordon; and Ms. Butler. These Standards were submitted to the Appraisal Institute for editorial review and the Department of Justice grate-fully
acknowledges the editorial assistance of the Appraisal Institute in their preparation. While the vast majority of federal land acquisition is achieved through voluntary means, sometimes litigation is
necessary. With this in mind, Mr. Eaton has done an admirable job of updating the case law, expand-ing the treatment of novel or difficult valuation questions, and recognizing the vast changes that have
recently characterized the real estate appraisal profession.
2006 Appraisal Information Needs Survey Results
During August 2006, the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (NAR) Marketing Research Department invited 86,777 appraiser members and recipients of the Appraisal Section of the weekly NAR
ListServe message to participate in an online survey. Findings reflected in this report were collected from responses received between August 10th and 25th, 2006.
The goal of the survey was to understand how Appraiser members conduct their business, obtain appraisal industry information, and make decisions on their appraisal education and designations.

Joel Henson's business, Dixie Drywall Co., is located on about one-and-a-half acres of land off
Valley Street. About one acre of the property is grass.
Instead of continually paying a landscaping company $75 to cut the grass, he decided to try to sell
that piece of his property. After determining an asking price, he called Ron Kuczak, a local real
estate appraiser.
"He came out and gave me my options,"
Henson said. "He more or less determined
what the land would be worth if I kept it and
put up some warehouses."
USPAP 2006: The Loss Of A Few Terms Will Be Less Confusing, I Think December 28th, 2005 by John Cicero

REVISIONS TO USPAP AND ADVISORY OPINIONS
The revisions in the 2006 Edition of USP Appraisal Practice are the result of two major Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) initiatives: (1) examination of the proper role of the scope of work and departure
concepts in the appraisal process; and (2) specific review of STANDARDS 9 and 10. The ASB formally adopted the 2006 USPAP on October 28, 2005 based on testimony presented at public meetings,
responses to three Concept Papers, six Exposure Drafts, and extensive deliberation by the ASB over a two-year period. (USPAP 2006 Q & A) The effective date of the 2006 USPAP is July 1, 2006

REAL ESTATE APPRAISAL
Nature of Appraisal Work (U.S. Department of Labor
Bureau of Labor Statistics)
Commercial appraisers and assessors of real estate estimate the value of real property for a variety of purposes, such as to assess property tax, to determine a sales price, or to determine the amount of a mortgage that might be
granted on a property. They may be called on to determine the value of any type of real estate, ranging from farmland to a major shopping center, although they often specialize in appraising or assessing only a certain type of real estate
such as residential buildings or commercial properties. Assessors determine the value of all properties in a locality for property tax purposes whereas appraisers appraise properties one at a time for a variety of purposes, such as to
determine what a good sale price would be for a home or to settle an estate or aid in a divorce settlement.
FannieMae's Property (Commercial Appraiser, SIC) and Appraisal Guidelines—details their general requirements for analyzing the property residential appraisal, rather than commercial, aspects of conventional mortgages secured by
one- to four-family properties. It also discusses special considerations for certain types of housing-units in condominium, PUD, and cooperative projects; manufactured (and other factory-built) homes; Community Living group homes;
mixed-use properties; properties affected by environmental hazards; urban properties; affordable housing program properties; properties located in special assessment or community facilities districts; properties subject to leasehold
interests (including those held by community land trusts); and energy-efficient properties—that merit special consideration in the property and appraisal review. Because the evaluation of a property is such a vital part of the risk
analysis, they expect a lender to place as much emphasis on underwriting the property and reviewing the appraisal as it does on underwriting the borrower's commercial creditworthiness.

Editor’s note: On March 16, 2001, Daniel Muller of Morgan Miller Blair presented, “What Every Real Estate Attorney Should Know About Inverse Condemnation,” to the real property section of the CCCBA. This article discusses
developments in the areas of inverse condemnation and eminent domain (direct condemnation) in the six months since the presentation. For an outline of the presentation call (925) 937-3600. nverse Condemnation Plaintiffs
suffered setbacks in three inverse condemnation cases decided in 2001. However, a judge in a federal district court case granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, enjoining the agency from an impending condemnation for
failure to show a public use or purpose for the project.

Turlock Irrigation Dist. v. Zanker, No F047094 (Cal. 5th App. Dist. June 26, 2006)
Judgment partially against a town in litigation concerning the scope of its right to receive treated water for domestic use and other needs of the town is affirmed where the trial court (comercial appraiser sic) correctly found that the
districts must continue to provide water to the town, but the reasonable cost of treating the water to make it suitable for domestic use may be passed through to the consumer.
