I am not doing the 3.6 FORM deal

[Sadie]

You do realize the irony - the guy is probably spending tens of thousands of $ designed around a 1969 built-in oven!! That oven will be replaced with a chic retro-style ( new) oven the minute it breaks. This is a far cry from an old kitchen with dated appliances - it costs a lot of money to look on trend retro - with modern convenience and tech often hidden behind the retro design.

There is a designer here, Robert Rummer, who built all these pretty cool MCM homes. His goal was to design and build the best possible house for a reasonable amount of money. Its ironic that his homes sell for way more than the surrounding homes.

Totally. Prolly finish the kitchen retro, and the oven dies. Harvest Gold.

No, its avocado!

Everything you need to know is on the market grid. The uad 3.abom should only be the market grid. Neither an avm or CU use any part of all this minutia that now will be required.
Think about it. The market grid is the place for value. We are now in house minutia overload. Too much information, mostly useless. The idiot savants who developed this thing think more detail info is better. We have gone from a good index card value, to the good 2055 minor info form, to now how much can you put into this thing before you pass out.

All the clients look at now is the grid. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Value wise, it might, might not, but you should know what is in the home you are estimating the value of.

We're not home inspectors nor experts in costs.
We generalize with C ratings and do the best in comparing with comps.
UAD 3.6 Abomination is going too far since we don't know exact defects with the comps.

That's a poor skippy excuse. Do like FHA says, you call the agents, the buyer, the seller and grill them on what defects were hidden at time of closing.

All joshing aside, I have always found realtors to be quite helpful in explaining to me why a certain house that I was using as a comp sold for an unusually low price. And usually it's either because of some conditions that were not explicitly stated in the MLS, or some hardship circumstance, or family relation.

Once the deal has closed, the agents don't mind telling you the truth, because they realize that we are an integral part of the system, and try to be helpful to us.

Skippy? If my peers don't call, why should I?

It make sense since these are your peers

I fail to see why we need to fill it out on-site. I will collect info and photos and fill it out in my home office -if I continue after trying one or two 3.6.

eeh co -

Agree, I use ala mode, been fooling around with 3.6 ... clumsy program with not much help on 'how to' questions that I have. Two free sessions if you don't have elite then you have to pay to learn how to use the software. Fooling around w/ the sketching- error message comes up / can't use sketching. Parts of the report/form or whatever the heck you want to call it are lighter, you can hardly read it. I downloaded Appraise it/pro/ SFREP seems much more user friendly. I have an appointment with AIVRE in a couple weeks to check out this software; I do like the analytics. haven't looked at Bradford yet. I'll keep you posted.
