19. Industry challenges Shrinking pool of professionals across all areas (commercial and residential) number of appraisers now 105,000 nationally from 120,000 in 2008+/- (ASC.gov) attrition in the industry due to UAD, volume, increased assignment conditions losing entry level to Wall Street jobs even through the recession learning curve is 3-5 years; no way to fast-track becoming seasoned & experienced licensing requirements have become tighter – education hours, experience (2008) average age of appraiser is 52+/-

20. Industry challenges Lack of “skill” updating to meet market demands - need to get back to school; learn advanced valuation techniques (brush up on old too ) - need to better understand economics and real estate relationship - need to become better writers to articulate the valuation process where needed - need to embrace the technology and create a “value add equation” for the profession

21. Industry Forecast Immediate Immediate situation is not getting much attention because of high demand (all appraisers are very busy and there are less) Currently industry is more reactive than proactive, but the dust has just settled Increased emphasis is being placed on advanced education Attrition will continue and accelerate after the mortgage rates increase and bad loans have been modified or sold Appraisers will change slowly but for the better (theirs too)

22. Industry Forecast Long Term Those that remain in the industry will be committed and tolerant of the expectations The remaining pool of appraisers will have obtained the skills needed to maintain expertise Select web-products/valuation tools with higher levels of accuracy will emerge and appraisers may augment some of these tools with new products Over-regulation of the lending industry will ease and bring back a willingness to complete lending assignments “Cream Rises – professionals with skills will always be in need
