Ugh...try getting rid of one.
With Air BnB, every homeowner owns a potential time share now....
Ugh...try getting rid of one.
But is Fannie Mae really unhappy with defective appraisals? Or, pleased that the banks give them an excuse to make the bank take back a loan if it fails? And if all payments were timely would they care what the appraisal says? Would they claw back the money then? I doubt it even if they knew the appraisal was deficient.
And let's talk geographic competency. Currently reading a 1004P for a large nationwide lender completed by an appraiser located well over 100 miles away from the subject property (roughly 2.5 hour drive) completing the report... subject being located a large metro area with an oversupply of appraisers.
Allure is also to see production of four times the volume from staff appraisers, who can pump out appraisals by staying at desk not "losing time" by inspection . Meaning the company can reduce number of staff appraises and use non lower paid inspectors. That helps the bottom line of national AMC;s who use staff appraisers and many do at some level. If those same AMC;s are part of the fannie test pilot, of course they will provide glowing reviews to fannie of how well it works and how there is no loss of "quality"Someone already posted the 1004p form here, look back through the thread.
Point being, part of the allure of the 1004P form will be the ability to go faster/cheaper by cutting corners on local knowledge.
I bet quality was a lot worse then......probably more along lines of Loan officer to appraiser "We need X value, I drove by house it looks fine" Appraiser" Sure, okay."It's simply a business decision and each person has to determine what they will or won't do.. as far as hurting the profession , it's been on the ropes for years and it's going to change and evolve as time goes by. When I first started some of the savings and loans had their loan officers drive out to look at the houses and appraiser dint even have licenses and there was no USPAP. did -the quality get better by licensing, not really but it made everyone feel warm and fuzzy![]()
Here is a pdf of what my software has. Looks like 1004. Except differences in pre printed SOW and certs and check boxes on last page of certs concerning type of inspection(s) if any. Have highlighted a couple of the differences in the SOW and certs
