First Domino Has Fallen

[Tejus]

Interesting discussion, but the only opinion that matters is the appraisal regulatory agency's opinion.

TALCB has ruled the Appraiser defines the SOW and the Appraiser may dismiss client identified SOW requirements:

Future discussions like this may be intellectually stimulating, but are unnecessary because TALCB ruled the Appraiser may define the scope of work to be "determining value only" and dismiss any additional client specified SOW requirements.

Alan-

I think you would do yourself a favor by acknowledging that your above assertion is your interpretation rather than a fact.

Fact: TALCB ruled the way it did.
Alan: They ruled that appraisers can change assignment conditions on their own.
Denis: They made a common sense ruling that is consistent with FHA protocol. They did not rule appraisers can change assignment conditions on their own. But they did rule that Alan's interpretation that it was a change of assignment conditions by the appraiser was incorrect.

That's what has happened. You don't have to change your mind. But at least, when you make your assertion, preface it for what it is: Your opinion, not a matter of fact.

I never seen A.G. say you can just change assignment conditions. Did He?

Nothing could be further from the truth. Despite your twisted interpretation, the TALCB most certainly did not rule that an appraiser" may define the scope of work to be "determining value only" and dismiss any additional client specified SOW requirements" and any appraiser who is stupid and naive enough to believe this interpretation and acts accordingly is headed for an unpleasant experience with the state board.

Quotes from the TALCB Commissioner's letter:

Based on the plain language of the scope of work rule, it is the appraiser, not the client, who determines and performs the scope of work needed to produce credible results for each appraisal assignment.

and

Under the USPAP scope of work and competency rules, an appraiser may define the scope of work in a manner that ensures the appraiser has the required competency to perform the assignment, which is precisely what the appraiser did here.

The TALCB Commissioner's statements are very clear. Read the rest of the attachments for additional details. TALCB’s interpretation of USPAP and related regulations is the law (regardless of any apparent USPAP violations).

Some people are unwilling to accept the TALCB findings and ruling. It's difficult to argue when we have the TALCB findings and ruling in writing. No amount of unsupported claims, distractions or name calling will change the TALCB findings and ruling.

For the people who continue to deny and refuse to accept the TALCB findings and ruling, you are doing a better job supporting my claims then I ever will.

I’m beginning to feel sorry for these people . . . but they are still responsible for what they do.



ps: I considered responding to the “consistent FHA protocol” comment in an earlier post. It’s not often that someone lobs a floater over the center of the plate that you could knock out of the park, but the author had already proven my point and had a rough day. Piling on and kicking them while they are down is not necessary since my point has already been proven. So I showed restraint and let it go. Aren’t you proud of me Ms. Janet ?

Cheese and rice! Turn the flipping stove on and observe what it does or doesn't do. Report same.

That just makes me jealous. That makes me wish I had hip surgery like Mike. LOL.

Texas is doing better. I was worried about them.

"Appliances that are to remain and that contribute to the market value opinion must be operational."

The FHA guideline for appliances is not just turning on and observing. Some do not understand what "operational" means.
