Desk Review: MLMLS

[ZZGAMAZZ]

Original appraiser in the 1004MC identifies his MLS source as "MRMLS," indicating "N/A" in the 4-6 and 7-12 cells with comment that "MLS system is unable to provide re proactive [sic] data to reveal active listings..."

Does that source exist or is it a typo?
If it exists, does it indeed fail to provide retro active-listing data?

Thanks peers.

I know MLS's where the appraiser cannot access portions of the MLS data including past listings. Retro? I don't know about that.

If you are doing it manually then it is difficult to determine what listings were active on certain dates.

If you don't know... then you don't know. As the reviewer, you don't get to object to items in the appraisal report that you can't check. You can comment that something in the report is unclear and would benefit from additional explanatory comments.

Probably a typo for CRMLS

California Regional MLS?

Probably a typo for CRMLS

That was my initial thought, but CRMLS always populated the active listings for all three periods in the 1004MC addendum, in my experience. Conducting just one Desk Review reveals the need for appraiser literacy.
