Ingress/egress In The Sketch?

[jturner01]

Ok, I admit, I do not put any doors in my sketches, I never have and as long as it is not a requirement, I probably will not. I just received a request for them to be included in my sketch, and I have completed MANY reports for this client in the past with no such requests (Nor any other lender/client). I could find NOTHING from Fannie about this as a matter of fact here is all I found on the sketches:

"An exterior building sketch that indicates dimensions and calculations that demonstrate how the estimate for gross living area is derived. If the floor plan is atypical or functionally obsolete, thus limiting the market appeal for the property in comparison to competitive properties in the neighborhood, Fannie Mae requires a floor plan sketch that includes the interior walls. For a unit in a condo or co-op project, the sketch of the unit must indicate interior perimeter unit dimensions rather than exterior building dimensions (dimensions and estimates for gross living area shown in the condo documents are acceptable)."

Am I missing something? Or is it ok to tell them to pound sand?

Oh, I should probably add, this is a 2 story single family detached homogeneous home in a PUD.

I included them. Don't blame you for wondering why the new request.

But I'm curious why is this rubbing you the wrong way?

Waste of time but add $25 for the extra time to document the direction of swing and location plus sketch time.

It is not really rubbing me the wrong way, it just seems odd, almost like it is a little nudge to tell me to stop cutting contract prices. I can not help if the agents are listing the properties too dang high. I typically use between 5-9 closed sales, so I have enough support, I make the time adjustments if they are warranted..... And I still get this kind of weird request on one that did not "make contract".

Also, I just kind of wanted to get some input... to see if there is something/some guideline that I am missing. I just don't get it, I put more than enough photos in there... all sides of the home even on conventional reports, you can see where all doors are, so seems kind of silly.

It is kind of funny... This is not in their engagement letter or special instructions, so I was thinking about charging them a $125 trip fee so I can make sure that the sketch is correct, LOL.

IMO, a couple seconds > good customer service.

I was trained to at least do entry and exit doors - have reviewed hundreds of appraisals and 99.9% have at least entry doors and garage doors showing - No offense but based on you post you really never do anything extra unless its in an-engagement letter or your forced - This is a 3 minute deal and I would think you could remember where the entry door - rear door or slider-garage doors etc are located ? Sounds like you are doing work like we did 30 years ago but even then we did what it took to complete something that a reader and user could use.

 

[CindyR]

i quit showing doors years and years ago but i do include the label 'entry' on the sketch.

 

[KYLECODY]

Front door, garage entry door and rear slider. 3 exterior doors in most houses, takes 5 seconds on a sketch. Just add them and move on. Or debate requirements with them, whichever you find more time efficient.)
