What is the purpose of the "AEA-EDU.com" website? 

The website "AEA-EDU.com" aims to provide appraisers with educational resources and information.

●

The website is the Education & Information Division of American Eagle Appraisal, PLLC.

●

It offers quality and timely appraisal and appraisal-related education programs along with timely appraisal and appraiser-related information to keep appraisers informed and on top of changes in the field.

●

The website aims to address some of the challenges appraisers face, such as the impact of licensing and the Dodd-Frank Act on the appraisal profession.

●

Before appraiser licensing became mandatory in the late 1980s and early 1990s, appraisers typically belonged to appraisal companies and professional organizations that offered educational courses and fostered a sense of community and an ethics code.

●

The introduction of licensing and the Dodd-Frank Act led to a decline in the perceived value of these organizations, causing many appraisers to discontinue their professional organization memberships.

●

Additionally, the emergence of Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) further impacted appraisers' income by negotiating lower fees with lenders.

●

AEA-EDU.com seeks to provide support and resources to appraisers in this evolving landscape.

●

Visitors to the website can sign up to receive notifications when new content is added. All postings are dated, so users can quickly identify new information. 

●

The website offers several resources:

     Class notes and information can be accessed in the top right corner of the website's header by clicking on "Classes" and

                selecting the desired course.

     Podcasts discussing the website and available courses. For instance, the "2 course Promotion.mp3" podcast provides 

                information about two new CE courses: "Creating a Politically Correct Appraisal Report" and "Technology and the

               Appraiser."

     A "Members Only Section" suggests that additional resources or benefits are available to members.
