Have a review on a property that is over 4,000 sf, for a property valued at almost $3Mil. First dumb question, WHICH LENDER IS DUMB ENOUGH TO ALLOW THIS TO BE A HYBRID??? Anyway, the inspection is crap, I have an entire list of stuff that is a discrepancy and the appraiser didn't bother to look at the pictures or change anything from what the inspector said. So we start with they say slab foundation, this area only builds pier and beam, even today, only pier and beam, plus when you see the damn air vent on the floor, that should tell you something. Next, the drop stair attic that they list sure does look like a regular old door that you walk through with no stairs to climb. This company/person is also really good at calling aluminum gutters and downspouts "Galvanized Steel", I laugh almost every time I see this. They said there are 2 porches in the inspection and the appraiser writes up no porch with a screened in patio. I'm seeing an outdoor fireplace and an attached grill, yet this is the second one today from the same company that has chosen not to make an adjustment for an attached grill...is this becoming the new norm and I haven't heard anything about it? All of the bathrooms and the kitchen have been completely updated/remodeled, the only thing in the bathrooms that stayed were the tubs and toilets in the secondary bathrooms, but they said that only the floors and some of the counters were redone in the bathrooms and only the floors in the kitchen in the last 15 years, the last MLS listing was in 2015 and the interior has all changed since then. And the one that I think is the funniest, that the laundry room has no issues, yet it is only drywall, no protective coating over the drywall...ya know, like paint...so if the hose from the washer bursts and sprays everything, I guess nothing is going to happen and it will just magically go down the pipes. Now the actual square footage, they never mention anything about the square footage in the report being to ANSI standards, which this is not, they don't even mention what system is used or anything they used to determine the square footage. So I'm looking at the pictures, which are about the size of a postage stamp and go back to a previous listing on the house to see better pictures for these rooms, to find that they took 2 closets and said that because they were lower than 7 feet, they are no longer square footage, yet they are taller than 5 feet, which should have counted because more than half...as in the entire rest of the room/space...is over 7 feet and last I checked, it said that more than half the room has to be above 7 feet but no lower than 5 feet for it to still be counted as square footage. Am I just missing something here and why would anyone rely on these people that have no clue about anything to measure a house and rely on that report for something with this type of a price tag on it and not question it? Are these hybrids not reporting ANSI standards for measuring, or are they not required to?
