" Estimate when the roof was replaced"

Not the condition of the roof..... but when was it replaced. That's an odd request.

What's with the "client requested conditions"? The alternate opinion of value? Is that for an REO or relocation value?

Would it be possible to alter it slightly and sell it to those with the Facebook designation? It's done on a daily basis.

You can tell they have 0 appraisers working on this, unless they are just using them for advice on how to **** off appraisers.

That's it? I think the hysteria over switching is over the top. About the same as people having to switch to Windows 11 lol

AMC: Appraiser is to provide comps with a roof that brackets a 3 year old roof. Appraiser also to provide market based proof why no adjustment was performed for the subject's newer roof.

Why would anyone enter this POS profession today?
