I got canned last week. I went from being their top appraiser to being removed from all counties.
Their rep even wanted me to become their preffered appraiser in a county...you had to accept all work with a rejection of less than 5 %. I said no thanks.
I have never in 20 years sketched a I ground pool for HUD. My fault. Never been called out for it. Yeah, I guess I should have although no where in the guidelines does it specifically say to for pools. Either way it got rejected by the lender....avg turn time goes from 4 days to 14 days. My rejection score goes up. 1 rejection gets me removed for that county.
Got another rejection because I made the report subject to and the borrower did not understand what positive drainage means. Score goes down.
One of my reports gets randomly reviewed..reviewer says I didn't mention the airport, did not have any support for my time adjustments, etc. She missed them.
Who gives a shet. I only started taking orders to see if was as bad as everyone says they are. They are.
It shows you competitions turn times...2.3 days. Sorry ant going to happen. Must be one of those firms with teams.
I'm glad I do not need their work. No loyalty and the stress of putting out a perfect report 100% of the time will literally cause health problems. I don't need that stress.
Working with the large AMCs is just like playing Russian Roulette. Don't do it unless you are anal retentive or are a skippy that does not make adjustments.
Like others have said turn times are important but rejecting reports will get you canned also. Before I got canned, the team was concerned that I was rejecting to many reports. The way I saw it was that I was down the their and getting the harder orders, which increased my chances of getting a bad audit and more rejections.
Lose lose situation.
