UAD 3.6 floorplan required?

[mp2277]

So now we're measuring and sketching rooms? I am rapidly loosing interest.

I hadn’t heard that. I plan on measuring the same way I always have in order to be compliant with ANSI. If they want anything more than that, I will just use an attachment from the MLS if they’ve paid for a more detailed room sketch.

It will be great when AMC's want to keep the same fees (low) then start sending revision requests like "please provide sketch with interior room dimensions and doors."

We have the "trace" function staring us right in the face on Total Sketch and more and more listings are including floor plans.

Not that simple. It is required to sketch within the file online. Remember this is all cloud based bull****. I'm so sick of seeing "the clipboard is dead" I can scream

My conclusion is all those industry notables who have been saying “the clipboard is dead” for the last 10 years stand to gain financially from the sale of new gadgets constantly entering the market. This industry is infested with hucksters selling products that line their pockets while claiming everyone else is using them and if you don’t, you’re a Luddite.

Probable a sketch program or casa imbedded within the program. I'm also seeing more drawings in the MLS, they seem to have interior room dimensions, but can't tell how they got the GLA.
Anything left after paying everybody for all the extra gadgets that will be needed for the new, more faster, better uda3. If the 'clipboard is dead' how do i put all my charts and graphs to visually explain paragraphs of written words instead.

Maybe a revolution where appraisers win, or they just pick up all our dead bodies.

The gadgets perform the same functions as old school methods =measure, sketch, and take photos.

The gadgets imo are harmless and some love tech and maybe they are better in some functionality. The real problem is hucksters selling instant market analsyis via time adjusmtent trends in charts r graphs ( seems like they are required exhibits in UAD.36 as illustrations ) and worse, programs that produce via a click, "support" for adjustments - the problem is the speed means no analysis performed by the churn and burn crowd, and the larger data sets needed for stastics can produce misleading results vs the more limited but highly relevant comps for the subject and its area.

I don't blame the hucksters—they are trying to make a buck. But the pressure from the GSEs to illustrate charts and graphs as "proof," even if results are misleading, is scary. It favors speed and AMC production line work. It invites replacing the appraiser with a "desk analyst"—who can input raw data and click a software function for adjusments and market trends.

I hadn’t heard that. ....

I had not heard that either (other than in the OP), and I am pretty sure that I would know about such a change

I use a laser, tape and a 10 year old camera. Nothing cutting edge yet. You’re right about the market analysis programs, it appears they're looking for property data collectors who can partner up with someone who can overwhelm the reviewers and underwriters with charts and graphs, but conveniently omit the fact that the pond in the back yard is due to a faulty septic system. Of course that’s minor, what’s important is they met the 24 hour turn time, made the necessary value and all adjustments were minimal and most importantly, the fee was what the GSE/AMC partners in crime demand for that zip code.

Imo, if the GSEs want supportive "proof" or evidence of adjustments, especially for market trends, then they should refine the MC form and make it so that every appraiser uses the MC form only because then at least teh program is consistent. All they need to do is break down the first six months into two quarters, and reuse TWO MC forms - one for the specific subject market of competing properties, which often is a far smaller data set, and another MC form for a relevant area market trend.

The way it is now, with different software offerings and a large difference among how appraisers select the data, can really skew results, both in trend and in other adjustments.
