As far as I know every residential appraiser is free to write in whatever format they choose. Over a 29 year period I did lots of narratives and other non-GSE form reports. Of course, the clients are just as independent to only buy reports that meet their formatting needs/desires - just as we all are when we are a consumer/client. I know residential appraisers who have not used a GSE form in years.nothing says independent then new forms rammed down your throat...best would be appraisers just used a generic GP form...watch the crying begin![]()

What a gross snarky answer.I agree. The UAD (old and new) does not require any sort of specific adjustments. I see lots of reports with differences in fireplaces, half baths, decks, etc. but with no adjustments.
No one should let the reporting format dictate their adjustments.
Snarky?What a gross snarky answer.
Do you really agree with what I said?
The topic at hand is what the new form requires, not whether the GSEs require a fireplace adjustment.
Don't belittle your history in public trust. It don't become your position. It seems now you don't trust appraisers anymore.Value is just one of the collateral-related risks. Appraisal reports are used to address value, but they are also used to address risks related to condition and marketability.
