Perhaps,
stop and read
ALL the FEDERAL and other REGULATIONS
especially those pertaining to LENDING

Before you go polling the know everythings to discuss unicorns that could wind them up without licenses.


.
As it stands now, Lender/ AMC clients do not provide access to local MLS in areas where appraisers are doing desktop or reviewer work for them, what indicates that would change if the work is expanded to other areas of appraising?

Is your point that a poll based on conditions as they exist, which is lack of local MLS access and fast turn times can not be answered out of fear of losing a license? Whereas a poll based on a set of ideal fantasy conditions of unlimited time and data access can be answered with no fear of license loss...perhaps if this poll receives few answers that might be a reason, though popularity/bias towards posters is strong on this board... I tried to post a poll based on real world conditions. Maybe it is not possible to do here or only certain people could do it and get answers.

DWiley -I got no special treatment. I had to do the same thing anyone else would have to do to gain access, and it certainly was not at "no fee to me" :) For example, in order to obtain access to the MLS in Memphis I had to drive to Memphis and sit in a class given by the local Board of Realtors, just like any other appraiser would have had to do.

From the other thread- post 388 .
 
Perzactly. You are the only one suggesting that the hybrids will be assigned to those without geo competency or the ability to become geo competent.

Whether I am the only one or not, that is the conditions of the poll.

Given that right now AMC's engage out of state/area appraisers to review or do other appraisal work without access to local MLS, what leads you to believe they would provide it for out of area hybrid work?

For this poll is to be meaningful would need to to be answered with the set of conditions it comes with, as the other poll was.
 
Why do you jump to the conclusion that the hybrid work will be assigned, accepted and performed by "out of area" appraisers?
 
Factor this into your paradigm: CT has one statewide MLS.
 
My main MLS covers 16 counties out of 100 in NC. Do I think I could produce a credible desktop on any of the 16 counties? Probably so.

But the question is not about your 16 county MLS - the question is about out of area geo competence, which could mean lack of access to data ( and a fast turn time). What would happen if you are asked to do an appraisal out of your 16 county MLS coverage, where you might not have access? (and were expected to get it done in 24 or 48 hours without inspecting property or area )

What do uou think would be of report results from an out of area appraiser for a desktop or hybrid in your area and either had no MLS access, and or expected to fulfill the assignment fast?

In my experience, trying to verify/get information from people is often not possible in short turn times...it might take more than 24 hours for someone to get back to us.

George's poll set out ideal conditions of unlimited or lots of time, and all coverage data access, which do not exist now in vast majority of AMC and lender work. This poll presents existing conditions for review and out of area work being done for certain clients- perhaps you would decline the assignments...
 
Again, why do you jump to the conclusion that the model includes "out of area" appraisers without MLS access are in play at all?

Because that is how out of state and out of area reviews and certain other desk assignments are conducted now for national clients. Check with D Wiley or G Hatch or Denis DeSaix/others about that kind of national level out of area work and data MLS access...

In any event the poll is meant to be answered with its set of conditions, as George's poll was answered with it's set of conditions.
