I attended the California Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers Town Hall September 9, 2025 online. The main agenda items were as follows: (full agenda below)
*Enhancing Access to Licensure
*California as a Mandatory vs. Non-Mandatory State
*Enforcement Statutes/Regulatory Opportunities
*Enhancing Communication with Stakeholders and Public
First commenters were appraisers. Some were ranting about the profession, economy, costs and difficulty of being an appraiser. Others were looking for supervisors and business opportunities. Some non appraisers commented about personal experiences with appraisers. Some were really far off topic. One guy was just ragging on one appraiser he used years ago. The "beauty" of townhalls.
There were some good commenters, namely appraisers Charles Baker and Jeff Hogan. BREA Chief Angela Jemmott headed the meeting. Shelly of Consumer Affairs was the host. Tinna Morlatt the Deputy Bureau Chief of Enforcement was also there. The panel did not respond to any questions or comments so the meeting was really pointless. It appears it was just to make the public and appraisers feel heard?
There were almost 300 people in the online meeting. It ran from 9:00 am to 11:33 am. #marycummins #realestateappraiser #realestateappraisal #angelajemmott #tinnamorlatt #BREA #bureauofrealestateappraisers
