Try again. "..meaningful and not misleading to intended users" sometimes doesn't even include the client or anything the client might want.client wants...client gets
There is nothing immoral or unprofessional about "intended user wants extras", which is exactly how the SOWR is intended to function. A user asking for an extra comparable or a rent survey or pix of the smoke detectors or charts/graphs showing how you developed an adjustment is not an infringement upon your responsibility to act in an impartial and unbiased manner *in addition* to meeting the hardwired minimums in USPAP. Even when they're asking you to do it for free.
The lenders in the GSE and FRT pipelines don't accept appraisals engaged by MBs, but they're not the only types of clients and users in the mortgage business, let alone the remainder of the market for appraisal services. USPAP doesn't prohibit appraisers from working for MBs or other 3rd parties like atty and accountants and property managers and such. That's why the SOWR doesn't actually refer to what the client wants the way you keep attempting to imply. The SOWR only suggests that one way to find out what the requirements (of the users) are for the assignment is to ask the client.
