FHA Appraiser - Must inspect, sign?

[Pittsburg_22_m]

This is more or less me trying to figure out how to keep from losing a large chunk of money after October 1. I've been doing FHA appraisals for the last 7 years and currently working on college courses (already have all my Qualifying Education done) in order to further the upgrade to Certification.

If I have another Appraiser to work with, who is Certified and on the FHA roster, how can I integrate them into my business?

I assume they will be required to inspect the property. However, can I do the inspection and entire report in addition to them doing an inspection? I assume they would sign it and I could put a disclaimer that significant assistance was given?

Ideas on how to get around this without losing a ton of business for the next 6 months?

The FHA roster appraiser has to inspect the subject property.

That one is a given. I should've wrote "know" instead of "assume".

The FHA roster appraiser has to inspect the subject property.

Unfortunately for Pitt and many others FHA is single sign only. Only the appraiser who is assigned the case number can sign the report. Or at least that has always been my understanding of their guidelines.

Sorry to be harsh but the only way around it is to get certified. Or hire a certified and work out a split fee. You keep the client and the certified does the work.

FHA Assigned And Certified Appraiser Has To Inspect And Sign.
What One Or Both Do Afterward Is Your Business.
Or At Least Thats The Way I Read It.

Why not just you do the work and send it over to him and say for $50.00 he signs off as if he did the report,,,

I mean, its FRAUD and all, but you can keep your business and whos really going to do anything about it anyway?

Thats what alot of shops are doing now with runners...

Why should you have to lose business on a MINOR ISSUE,,like not being on the roster...Wink Wink,,,

 

[Bigrock]

the above post was a joke,,,

Either you are on the roster or you are NOT on the roster..

You can assist but the roster appraiser has to inspect and sign on the left..

Why someone would pay you for any part of the transaction on beyond me,,,Just lower your CNV fees to say $95.00 and you can make up for the loss by working nights and weekends...

Too late, I just lowered my fees to $92.49, so you will not be getting those orders!
