new comps, same opinion of value

[Vegan702]

I have never had this happen, I agree with the opinion of value, however I don't agree with 3 of the 4 comparables used in the report. I am using the fannie form, so would I just state that I agree with the value and in section 6 disagree and list the comparables I think should be used and not complete the grid on the second page since I agree with the value?

That's happens a lot to me. The only time, per the form, you are to list comps on the grid is if you disagree with the value. It asks Is the appraised value reasonable? And then says "If no...".

The paragraph above that section asks if the comps chosen were the most proximate, similar and best available (I'm paraphrasing here, working off memory), that is where I state no and list the comps I would have used. But then I state that the superior sales available support the value conclusion of the appraisal under review.

This falls under the " a blind squirrel will eventually stumble across a nut" theory!

That was the way I was thinking Jim, thanks. And yes the blind squirrel found his nut this time.

To be caught in a nut and hard place? Well the review form says what? Provide detailed reasoning for disagreement with the opinion of value in the original appraisal report. Does not say Change the comps because you like better ones. However, there is that little section that says: Are the comparable sales selected truly relevant to the subject property and most reflective of the subject market area? In this area you can MASH the appraiser and explain your concerns. Will anyone listen - NO, but it should make you feel just a shade better. After +/-10,000 reviews, I always feel better after voicing my opinion. OS out

I have had this happen also, where the original appraiser used irrelevant comps by not really searching the market for comps that match the subject the best. I drop my comps into a grid explain why my comps are more relevant. IMO it goes to credibility as the review appraiser. Sometimes we have to do someone else's diligence:new_2gunsfiring_v1:

The worst designed form that Fannie came out with is the 1004D.

A close runner up is their review form. The problem with this form, which is not obvious to many, is that if you check Yes or No in section 10 on the first page you have completed a review and an appraisal. Section 10 is also poorly worded; it asks only if the market value is accurate, but nothing about all the development that lead to that conclusion. One obviously can't conclude if the market value is accurate without performing their own appraisal.

In summary, if you fill out this form, you have completed an appraisal as well as a review, and make sure that the appropriate sections in SR1, SR2, and SR3 are adhered to.

More like the number hitter had a reasonable number to hit.

you know someone who actually cares? I was under the impression the majority of review work was being run through AMCs for pocket change leading me to believe most were just looking for rubber stamps. I would think anyone doing field reviews for $125-150 have credibility issues. Guess I'm just jaded.

I agree. When you state that the original comparables were not valid, you are saying that the original market value is not supported by those comparables. You need to provide support for the opinion of market value since the original appraiser failed to do so. This would fall under USPAP requirements for appraisal review and reporting.

I have had this happen a few times, and it is certainly a pain because it is twice the amount of work just to agree with the original appraised value. I believe that is necessary though to develop a credible report.
