Testimony from Vincent, Maryland
The American Guild of Appraisers is a must for all professional appraisers. It is an organization that treats their members as family. Their support system is next to none. In my time of need, I called on them and they answered. They are and have given me valuable support with an erroneous claim that was filed with the Maryland Real Estate Commission alleging USPAP violations.
Their leadership speaks volumes. Michael Ford, SCREA, AGA, GAA, RAA, Realtor is also the VP/Chairman of the National Appraiser Peer Review Committee had extensive discussions with me, reviewed the complaint that was filed and wrote a letter on my behalf pertaining to USPAP and the spirit of USPAP. I truly know that my well-being, more importantly, the well-being of my family, is something the AGA doesn’t take for granted.
The AGA has put their full weight behind the claim and has provided me with additional local leadership and support from Leo Regensburger and Jan Bellas AGA National Member Coordinators. These folks have their finger on the pulse and provide much needed resources and essential follow up. I am very thankful for the AGA and the Leadership it provides.
Note this; you are never alone when it comes to the American Guild of Appraisers and your fight to save your profession.
