Resume on Residential Reports.

Resume on Residential Reports.

I see that some AMCs are asking for resumes to be attached to residential reports.

I never had a problem with doing so on commercial reports, however, my contention is that your resume is your personal information, it is not subject to USPAP or Lending Guidelines and Residential reports just seem to get more mileage than commercial ones.

So I’m thinking I might not want my resume to be flying around the globe to the cheapest, fastest reviewers or monkeys.

But then again, this might be the opportunity to write that 20 page resume that includes everything I have ever done, every class I’ve ever taken, every skill I have from changing oil in the car to rabble rousing.

What say you? Tell them to pound sand ....or give them more than they ever wanted?

Should we blindly publish who were are and what we have done in the name of validating a residential report? Or tell them to pound sand?

"Professional Qualifications" is much different from a history of one's life.

I normally include my 1-page "Professional Qualifications" in my report of an appraisal.

To some folks, having a "license" equates to all having such a license as being "equal" when in fact we all know that such is not the case.

I include mine, with an individual listing for every class I have taken in the last 5 years. It makes up 3 pages of filler. My residential form reports are now averaging 30 pages. I am sure they read about 3 of the pages I send.

I send them a 8x10 headshot.

Like any job, one has to weigh the irritation factors. At some point, you change jobs or reject working for employers who require too much.

If I had to guess as to why AMCs would want your resume attached to your appraisal report, along with your appraiser's license and E & O declaration, it is easier to sell to clients that this AMC is a quality AMC by selecting appraisers who have all the prerequisites.

I've been attaching my Qualifcations to every one of my appraisals for the last 20 years.

 

[Meandering]

I attach them to commercial reports, and reports for other clients because it is just another way to get more business.

This is not true in residential lending work anymore that is being done through an AMC. Your resume will not qualify you to get a new client to call you for work.

Besides, they already have your resume on file.

 

[Michigander]

Is there any reason you wouldn't want to attach it?

The only reasons I can think of would be due to lack of specific appraisal education.

Really,

Who has ever gotten a call for FastestMonkey AMC saying,
"We read your report and really like your work and would like you to come work with us."

But I understand, the dream is alive.

One day the Prez at a large lender will love your work and call you because they were going to fire that AMC and now you can have all the work.

It is just additonal exposure in my mind and they have no reason to require it other than to find something else to annoy you will about it. Can't wait for new stips to come in,

Appraiser to add the mailing address for the educational provider concerning classes takend in 1996.

Appraiser to include phone number for education providers stated in resume.

Yeah, its a wonderful thing.

I send a Xerox of my "junk" so they know what I'm packing.
