Advisories |
 |
On March 3, 2008, New York Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo entered into an agreement and the Kentucky Real Estate Appraisers Board decision about a response to the agreement terms.
Home Value Protection Program and Cooperation Agreement (PDF Format 63K)
It is believed by the staff and members of the Kentucky Real Estate Appraisers Board that it would be irresponsible for the Board to voice a position on the "HVCC" proposal being decided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with the New York Attorney General until a final decision on the matter has been presented. This proposal does not involve opinions or commentary from the attorney generals of other States. Also, the State appraiser regulatory agencies are not involved because the agreement is not a part of the revision of Title XI, The Appraisal Subcommittee, or the Appraisal Foundation.
However, a number of individual appraisers have contacted me and suggested I should comment individually. Therefore, attached is a letter I have written to the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) in my role as a real property appraiser and a concerned professional.
Please be advised that the letter is from me personally, it does not represent any position or beliefs of anyone but me. It is not presented on behalf of the KREAB, the staff or the appraisers licensed and certified in Kentucky.
I do hope that all appraisers who feel something should have been worded differently or who believe something is lacking in the agreement did write the groups and let their concerns be known.
It is my opinion that more more interest will be shown for individual responses than if one letter is received on behalf of a group or entity. Therefore, the more letters received from individuals, the better prospect of positive results happening.
If anyone has questions about my letter or other matters pertaining to the "HVCC" please feel free to call me.

From that log the Board staff will select appraisal reports for each level of experience review.
