Pete Fontana recently took a bold step by submitting a formal letter to the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB), calling for the removal of the 4-hour Valuation Bias and Fair Housing Laws and Regulations course requirement every two years. 

Fontana is a practicing appraiser, a regulator with the Montana Board of Real Estate Appraisers, and a current member of the Board of Trustees for The Appraisal Foundation. In this conversation, he breaks down:
• Why he thinks the current biennial 4h requirement is unnecessary
• The broader implications for appraisers across the country
• What specific changes he’d like to see moving forward

We also dive into President Trump's recent executive order and discuss what it could mean for appraisers — and for users of appraisal services.
