Scott, I certainly cannot disagree with the notion that a lot of appraisers measuring leaves something to be desired. Paul, I asked that question because I know of no way to be confident that what I can see from the street necessarily is the entire house. Too many additions are the back porch being boxed in and it is not caught by the assessor except in the full blown reassessment and that might be once in 10 yr. Many rural properties are 300' off the pavement. There is no "alley". How can you do an "exterior" only appraisal without access to the property? And if I can measure the house, whats the big deal about stepping inside for 5 minutes? Like do they have something to hide?

There is nothing wrong with using the assessors sketch for reference. However, there are too many margins of error in the appraisal process. The subject property is one area the appraiser can remove margins of error. By making all the information on the subject property as accurate as possible, the appraiser can make sure every facet that they control is as definitive as possible. Measure the home and verify your data. It is not that difficult.

The problem with appraisers who can not properly measure a home makes a competence issue or an issue of fraud. These things are covered in USPAP.

There are times when I feel I'm covered in USPAP.

Thank you Dr. Hicks for the condescending 101 lecture. It’s a relief to know the USPAP police won’t nail me for that nasty habit. What’s the next thread going to be? Is it a USPAP violation to not spend a half hour inserting all those cute little icons on a sketch inside walls that Fannie doesn’t require?

Years ago when I was just taking my first apprasial course, the instructior came out with a list of items needed in this business. A clip board, pencil and a tape measure. Never trust some other person for your information, especially here in Indiana.

It just might. What is your problem lately? Anonymity getting threatened? Just because I like to do interior sketches, it does not mean I expect it from others.

Is is that condescending? My apologies to those who are not afraid to use their real names.

I don’t get religious very often, but today I’m going to put in a plea to the man upstairs that one of my reports doesn’t end up being reviewed in DFW. As much as I love sketching those 10 second rectangles, they might be the death of me yet.

Tim sorry to not answer the other part of the question. I'm no more anal or annoyed than usual. I got sidetracked because I'm getting ready to start another thread in the 'Urgent" forum and I'm worried about Otis getting me over the sense of urgency. I'm putting it in the water cooler just to be in the safe side.
