For several years I've been active on real estate appraiser bulletin boards and forums. Most of these tend to concentrate on technical issues and answering questions from new and/or aspiring appraisers. This has its place and use, but misses the places we need to make a mark.
My interest is Activism and Participation in effecting changes. Changes in Real Estate Appraisal Regulation; laws, rules, procedures and ad valorem assessment and taxation.
My interest is Communication with users and clients abouth the value of competent Real Property Appraisal Services.
My interest is Providing a Base from which to find information useful to like-minded appraisers, clients, users and property owners.
My interest is in Finding the TIME to do all of this!!
