Rebuttaling

[c w d]

So far, I've only had to rebut one of my appraisals reviewed through a company's in house review process. They specifically indicated their concerns and I replied in very specific terms to satisfy them.

Without specifics how can one know exactly what one is addressing? For instance, I did a market analysis on an area explaining that the area's market value was in decline, no significant foreclosure activity was noted, that lending criteria had tightened, that the market was very competitive in order to attract qualified buyers and that the area was having to compete with newer subdivisions a few miles away, and the typical market statistics. The client responds "Underwriter: Appraiser to explain why the market is in decline." There was no way I could address such a broad statement when I already, or so I thought, explained why. You have got to have specific information.

Sure you can request anything, I always ask for a copy of the review appraisal and all but once they sent a BPO not an appraisal. The one appraisal was completed by an appraiser on the opposite coast of Florida and did not have a clue. So before you wast your time sending a letter ask for a copy of the review.

My rule is if a copy of the review is not provided I will not respond to it

much the same. I want to know if the reviewer is reviewing the report or the appraiser.

If you were gigged for spelling and grammar mistakes in your appraisal report, don't even bother rebutting........just roll over and man-up.

That is unknown unless you won the Miss Informed beauty contest.

"Rebuttaling" Is that even a word? If not it probably should be.

It sort of sounds like a carpentry term.

"that is some nice rebuttaling they did around that fireplace".

LOL.:laugh:

Thank you for the link! I guess I should have done that before I posted. I didn't realize people would attack or make fun of my spelling and grammar. It reminds me of middle school behavior. Thank you for your help, though!:new_newbie:

Mr. (Ms.?) London,

Reality Check: If our peer pressure causes you to improve your written communication skills, we just did you a large favor. Allowing yourself to look weak in this regard, due to your own lacking in spelling and grammer, is not something I can see as a good way to impress clients. Because, now and then, clients actually do read our reports.

This is doubly important even to your question you asked. Because the entire problem is probably one of poor communications between all involved, and the solution is good communications. If your client has sent you something vague and asked you to respond to something that may not be a review in the first place, then I would clear that up with a response that is not vague at all. That would be how to deal with the situation in my view.
