homeowner is calling me

[Mister Ed]

Every appraiser needs a good answering machine.Let the machine take the heat...

Don't forget the working caller ID!!!!

 

[IPRES]

I tell them the LAW does not allow me to tell them or discuss with them anything about the appraisal. I even tell them about how I can not give them a copy.

Then I explain that if the lender give me permission IN WRITING, then and only then can I talk with them.

I say "Please dont ask me to break the LAW. I dont make the rules, the gubermint does."

Takes the heat off most of the time. I dont use big words with anyone.

Ditto. I refer them to the CLient to provide written authorization to discuss the report with them. They don't like to do that! LOL.
