All registrant fees will be returned. ![]() AAREA MONTHLY ZOOM MEETINGS Tuesday, July 7th - Noon-1 pm Cancelling the Forum was a disappointment, but with it came new ideas for connecting appraisers in Arizona. For the first time it will be possible for all Arizona Appraisers to meet on a monthly basis without having to leave their home or office. The AAREA Board decided at its last Board meeting to use ZOOM to offer monthly meetings where issues affecting appraisers can be discussed in an open forum and speakers on appraisal issues can be heard. Click here to register for the upcoming meeting! ![]() The Appraisal Foundationhas prepared a comprehensive Q & A along with links to further resources. The following is a brief summary of the Foundation Report, the ASB and AQB Reports: o TAF will be open with staff tele-working o Investigator Training is cancelled for this year. o 90% of real estate transactions are not covered under TitleXI of FIRREA and the Foundation has asked for a study by the GAO (Government Accountability Office) o John Brennan, VP of Appraisal Issues, is leaving after 16 years. (We will miss him) o Lisa Desmarais will be taking John's position. Lisa has served on the ASB and is a Certified Residential Appraiser. o The First Draft of the 2022-23 USPAP is out and the period for comments has been extended to April 30th. o AAREA will be putting out a survey on the proposed changes, some of which are significant. * Proposal to do away with the report label of "Appraisal" * Adding a definition of Evaluation * Questions on "significant appraisal assistance" and whether disclosure is required when done by someone who is not an appraiser * Should the definition of "personal inspection" be broader? O The AQB is recommending the ASC allow classroom CE to be converted to Synchronous education delivery (like Zoom) during the COVID crisis. 7 Hr USPAP could be delivered this way. O AQB encourages a 90 day rolling extension for license renewals during the crisis (AAREA has asked DFI to let us know if they will) O See USPAP 2020-21 discussion in AO-2 regarding use of extraordinary assumptions when preparing a report where interior was not inspected.
