 If you are having trouble
managing your appraisal ordering process, perhaps
ELLIOTT® & Company Appraisers can help. Our system
is designed to relieve you of the stress involved in purchasing appraisals
by allowing us to manage the process for you. At
ELLIOTT® our professionals begin by establishing a plan
including the why, where, what, who and when for each assignment. This
information is transmitted to the client within 24 hours, via a fax order confirmation.
It states all of the particulars and usually requires no client follow-up; that's
our job. Clients seeking exclusive appraisal management services should
contact our central office. We can develop a custom plan for the management of
all of your appraisal orders.
ELLIOTT® & Company

 Presidents
CommentsFor those of you who have been past readers of our
newsletter, "The Appraisal Advisor," we
have a new format. It is with pleasure that we present to you our
new newsletter, "Elliott Appraisal News." Why did we change?
The reason was a business decision. While the old newsletter
received positive comments for its appearance and its content, we felt
that it was time for a facelift as well as a name change. Our newsletter
is designed to educate our clients as well as to serve as an
advertising medium. While we do print advertising, at last check we had
a database in excess of 4,300 clients, and the newsletter is our
only opportunity to communicate directly with our clients. For
those of you who appreciated the content of our newsletter in
the past, we promise to continue to work toward including
similar topics for your enjoyment. In addition to our newsletter,
we have also updated our company Web site. It received a
general overhaul both in appearance and in functionality.
Functional changes made were designed to assist clients in locating
our offices as well as ordering appraisals online. If you have not
already done so please visit our Web site at www.elliottco.com. We
thank you for your business, and if you are not currently using our
Web site to order your appraisals or if you are not using our
national service, please log on and experience our system nationwide. |

| The Appraiser Qualifications
Board has proposed stricter educational requirements for real estate
appraisers. Among the proposals are raising the required classroom time to
140 hours for licensed residential appraisers, 200 hours for
certified residential appraisers and 315 hours for certified general appraisers.
The board recommended specific education requirements, such as a
college degree for certified general appraisers and an associate's degree
for certified residential appraisers. The board also suggests that four
hours of continued-education credit be given to certified appraisers
for managing trainee appraisers.
Angela McLean of the Boone, N.C., office has been certified to
perform appraisals in the state of Tennessee.
The network of appraisers who do work for
ELLIOTT® continues to grow. At last count we had over
300 appraisers throughout the U.S. ready to perform appraisals under
the ELLIOTT® & Company name.
