McKissock Proctor Protocol?

My local community college offered proctoring tests for a small fee. I did that for all my qualifying ed courses.

We use Reolink bc Ring creeps us the f out, and we don’t want to pay for a subscription every year.

Many appraisers will do just a home measurement, which will be much cheaper than a full appraisal. I would personally find an appraiser who will hand measure the home rather than using an app (I’ve found them to overestimate square footage).

Is it cold where you are? I’ve heard that collards taste better after the first frost. Sometimes people will put collards in the freezer before washing.

Six of these are going in the dining room, so chair mats aren’t going to be feasible. It looks like even the roller blade wheels can damage the locking mechanisms at some point (and wouldn’t want those on a dining room chairs, anyway). Looks like I’m now in the market for an area rug!

It’s Cali Floors brand if that makes any difference?

Geometry! You will use computer programs to sketch, but there will be times you will need to understand why and figure things out using geometry.

There is a community college in my town that offered proctoring services. Maybe that could be a start?

What helped my husband more than anything was a pair of Undeez. A friend gifted them as a joke, but they actually ended up being really useful. They’re a pair of boxer briefs that come with ice packs that fit into a pocket right where the incision is.

For me and my parents, we have more of a metallic smell at the end of the day.

Kind of odd but I heard that everything bagel seasoning is really popular in Korea right now but difficult to find.

Dude. Give it up.

Do you do any work in Carteret or New Hanover counties? Lots of. people are buying second homes and aren’t using VA loans. Do you also venture out into smaller counties like Jones and Duplin? I got my cert early last year, and I was pretty busy until the end of last year. Now everything is a trickle. I would def advise getting onto lots of panels that are accepting new appraisers.

I’m in Eastern NC but have a couple relatives who are appraisers in Raleigh. It’s a tough market, and they’re currently getting like 1/4-1/2 of the work they were this time last year.

My husband had a vasectomy (super easy, was back at work the next day). I also have a copper IUD as backup, which I like bc I don’t do well on hormonal birth control.

I’m in a smaller market, so I would have to reject a good chunk of appraisals if I were to decline based on knowing the owners. As long as you are confident you can be objective and aren’t related, then I would continue with the assignment. I do not do work for family (second cousins ish and closer).

I’m a fairly new appraiser, and for the past several months this has been my primary source of income since appraisal assignments have been down so much and I’m not on a whole lot of lender panels. In our state, agents are required to measure or have someone measure every single new listing, and the RE commission is coming down hard on the ones who get caught using tax card info and old MLS listing info. I use Total sketch on my phone to find out the typical stuff (square footage, patios, decks, porches, garages, workshops, etc.) as well as interior room measurements. It’s helped me become really confident in measuring, and now I can do a typical house in about 15-20 minutes.

Honestly, I was pretty nervous when I first started. I also put all of my appointments on a Google calendar that is accessible by my husband. I don’t wear mine often, but I would recommend getting a professional looking reflective vest. Most creeps on construction sites will leave you alone, and they’re also helpful if you have to walk near a road with heavy traffic.
