According to George W. Dodd, SRA, he and his committee (Download DC_IVPI_Members.pdf) have developed an Independent Valuation Protection Institute (IVPI) proposal that outlines and offers an alternative to the IVPI agreed to by Cuomo and the GSEs - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The Dodd/Crowley IVPI proposal dated March 17,2008 - (Download IVPI_Proposal.pdf ):
- Provides significant improvements over the current ordering, processing, and review of appraisals.
- Establishes the “Vault” which will provide the ability to maintain the appraisal reports in an environment that is free from fraud and abuse.
- And provides a central location that Investors can access to verify authenticity an appraisal.
Over the past three weeks, the IVPI Organizational Committee has reviewed hundreds of forum postings, emails, and private messages to committee members on those key topics and more. Naturally there that been many, many question on the details of the plan and how it would effect both individual appraisers and appraisal firms.
From appraiser comments, the committee has developed a consensus opinion of the Core Issues with the Dodd/Crowley IVPI. They've addressed five of them in their first in a series of IVPI Proposal Q&A's.
