Jeff, check with your state Board of R.E. Appraisers office, or their website. They may already have such a statement addressing this issue and you can print it up and have a copy in your clipboard, etc. The state of CO's Bo.R.E.A. website has it, I've got it handy, but I never seem to give it out. That bridge is already crossed when I am either setting up the appmt. and the h/o asks, or when I am leaving the house and they ask. If the party who engaged my services is NOT the h/o, they do not get a copy from me. I will always say "their copy" will be sent to my client, and "under Federal law that person or company must send out your copy to you". I always remind them that sometimes it requires the h/o's direct request for it, and that may have to be done in writing, as it is not automatic that the lender "remembers" to send it to them. In this day of EDI'd and e-mailed reports to clients that extra copy for the h/o is something which must be printed by the client.....this may be a formidable task for many of them since the one we used to print up, that extra "hard" copy, is not generated by us in these situations.
