This is what will be left for residential appraisers in the not too distant future, and remember what Lyle Radke thinks: "Addressing property data collections specifically, Radke says that appraisers are well positioned to do property data collections. "Some appraisers really enjoy this aspect of field work and this change allows appraisers to diversify into this. There is a lot of opportunity for appraisers to get involved as property data collectors," says Radke."
Couple that with ""When I was FHFA Director, Fannie and Freddie were very upfront about their view that the appraisal process was just friction to be smoothed out. They compete with each other for originator business, and they want to squeeze friction out of the process. They don't see a lot of value to the appraisal process. Notwithstanding the problems that Zillow found itself in, they have a view that appraisals can be replaced by big data and see themselves as the curators and holders of that data," Calabria argues."
PDC Solicitation from a party who shall remain nameless, mostly because I can't afford a lawyer:
"Take pictures that show the whole property and any extra structures.
● Make sure the photos and video give a clear view of the property's condition and
layout.
● All pictures should be Horizontal.
● Make sure that the pictures should include the ceiling and the floor.
● Turn on lights or open blinds for better photo lighting.
Here is a list of all the spaces that need to be photographed:
1.FULL EXTERIOR
a.Front of home (Front yard, sidewalk, Driveway, and the Roof)
b.Left side of home
c.Right side of home
d.Back of home
e.Garage (Outside and Inside)
2.FULL INTERIOR
a. Living room
b. Hallways
c. Stairways
d. Kitchen
e. Bedrooms.
f. Bathrooms
g. Basement and/or Mechanical Room
3. MISCELLANEOUS
a. Heating and Cooling System (AC and water Heater)
Special Instructions Expectations: * 60+ photos of interior & exterior combined. * 1 exterior video walking around the house and the lot * Photos of streets, roadways, crossroads * 1 interior video walking room by room to give us feel of the layout * Photos/videos of the rooftop, to determine roof condition. No need to go up on roof from sidewalk works * Picture of the front of the house as an album cover * Photos to include electric box, water heaters, HVAC system, any garages, barns, basements, etc. * Please, no talking in the video. Pay 100.00"
Maybe Lyle can survive on $100 orders that take half the day to complete, most professionals can't.
