Thomas & Don, you both need to hold on a minute. I inspected a cottage in Corolla on Saturday in between check out and check in. I've inspected this house several times over the past few years with the last time being a couple months ago. Since it was Saturday I was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops. (I was driving a jeep also) I took some interior and exterior pictures but I didn't measure the house. I didn't need to measure the house, I've measured this house before. The house measurements have not changed. If I was Skippy I wouldn't have even gone back out to the house, I would have just used a made up inspection date and the pictures from the last time I was at the property. The inspection didn't take me long at all. I checked out every room just to make sure nothing had changed since the last time I was there.
Do you seriously think wearing a tie makes a person a better appraiser than a person wearing flip flops? Maybe that appraiser would have been wearing a suit if he was dealing with a homeowner, but he wasn't, he was dealing with a vacant REO.
Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
