The NH Chapter of NAIFA welcomes you to our website. Though the National Association of Independent Fee Appraisers is an international organization, we have developed a website that is specific to our regional membership. Currently the NH Chapter's membership is composed of appraisers from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine. The resources and topics found on this website are intended to keep members and prospective members informed on what is happening in the real estate appraisal industry locally and nationally. Please take some time and browse through the links on this website.
See you at the next meeting!

The Appraisal Institute's publication page notes that FNC, Inc., has launched an online forum, www.collateralvision.com, which users can read about and input their own information on the mortgage industry. The site features stories, opinion pieces, industry hot topics and new research focused on real estate collateral.
The inaugural Open Forum piece, “Appraisal Report Data: Not Intellectual Property, Not Protected by Copyright,” was written by FNC’s Chief Legal Officer Neil Olson. It cites legal precedent to argue that appraisers cannot guard the data in their reports through copyright protection, despite some recent efforts, since the courts have established that one cannot copyright facts.
Under current law, a person contributing property and claiming a
deduction of more than $5,000 must obtain a qualified appraisal
from a qualified appraiser. In Notice 2006-96;
2006-46 IRB 1 (19 Oct 2006), the IRS issued transitional
guidance with specific definition of "Qualified Appraisal" and "Qualified Appraiser."
