Yep. If its better than C5 all systems go. If its C5 or C6 lets edit the pictures...

Here's a little hint for happy appraisers that recieve photos, "to be relied upon" from interested parties.

Find the photo on your hard drive, once you've saved it.

Right click on the photo icon

scroll down, click on properties in the pop up menu

on the top tab, click on Details.



Do the date and time look correct for a "recent" unedited photo for the date of value?

Scroll down a little bit more.........

were all the photos you received shot with the same camera?

.



Scroll down a little bit more..........




Verification is up to you,
and most people can right click and scroll
even if, technically challenged.

That's fine. But it only works if date on camera is set corrrectly. Plus many cameras have the option to show time stamp or not. Good place to start. But not always dependable

Better than nothing?
Better than, yeah, I just believe everything my client tells me?

It doesn't stop "selection" of which photos you see, nor, artistic staging of the coffee table over the hole in the floor,
But it's a start.

Stands to reason that If Fannie can and does check the validity of photos provided, why wouldn’t- shouldn’t Appariser be doing the same when photos are provided to them by a 3rd party?

While Fannie May forget, Appraisers need to remember the definition of assignment results clarify that assignment results include more than the appraiser’s value opinion.

“The appraiser is responsible not only for the opinion of value, but for “ other” opinions formed as part of an appraisal. It’s best for an appraiser to take the time and effort to support an opinion rather than guess and then have to worry as to how they are going to defend it later”

I’m of the opinion that since the Appraiser themselves wont be doing the actual inspection they will never have the reassurance of knowing that those pictures or measurements they’re getting are correct. pictures are basically used to demonstrate what we’re reporting about the subject property, they are pictorial essays as to what we’re saying in writing of what we actually saw. Hence, the “certification”.

I would be adverse to vouching (certifying) for the condition of property I never actually saw with my own eyes

Personally,

I don't see any way, at all,
for an appraiser to explain why,
Someone who was not the appraiser, was allowed to inspect the property,
While the appraiser, who has a duty for due diligence, verification and holds the liability,
claims,
they just accepted whatever the client told them, without inspecting the property, or knowing anything at all about the person who inspected the property, and that was not bias favoring an interested party.

But hey, that's why all the people limiting the scope of the work, want to remind everyone else, it is the appraiser who makes the scope of the work decision, not the client.

Do appraisers not do that with comps on virtually all residential assignments?
