That is exactly what the GSEs have been testing.
But is this in lieu of an appraiser inspection of the interior? --- This is probably where our disconnect comes in. The appraiser has a good feel for the range of condition and quality for sales in the subject market area, and he needs to be able to rank the subject on his perception of that range. He needs to inspect the subject, even it can be argued to be more superficial than the inspection of the 3rd Party Inspector. The appraiser is understood to see things with the buyers perspective.
It is very likely the 3rd Party Inspector does not even have access to the MLS, much less familiarity with it.
So, now you are going to tell the home owner that he has to be be prepared for two inspections? I don't think so.
I THINK YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
