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."

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.
Originally posted by RStrahan@Jan 28 2005, 03:28 PM
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

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,
2006
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.
Paul S. Ness, MAI (commercial appraiser)
www.nessassociates.net
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 still there however.
We also received this email from site owner (Wayne McKerley) who suggest that we inappropriately used his copyrighted material.
Paul Ness posted this on AppraisersForum.com. You copied it without my permission or without Paul's permission to your web site.
You also imply that Paul is incompetent by adding the heading "IS THIS MAI APPRAISER INCOMPETENCY?". Paul is aware of this

I ask that you remove this from your website and refrain from using our copyrighted material.

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.

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."

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

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.

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 Great Texas Bank Job
"The FIRREA Cover Up - FDIC / RTC The South West Scam
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" appraiser, whether in real estate, business appraisal, or any

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

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.

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

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.

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.
