Notice of appraisal?

[Ruben Ramon]

Just curious, at least in Michigan, how would an appraiser board have jurisdiction over the way an appraiser entered a house? Shouldn't that be an issue for a local district attorney for illegal entry? If you don't think he actually entered, do you have proof? Don't go an ruin a guys life based on guesses.

Also, what does the listing agreement say? If you have a member of the local MLS, did you give him permission to enter your house in your listing agreement? I belive my local board requires you to say by appt. only if you need to schedule anything.

What damage has it caused you? Has it even benefited you by helping you sell your house?

When a home is listed via MLS and is being appraised for purchase the appraiser most often coordinates the inspection with the listing agents office and not the homeowner. It is not uncommon for miscommunications to happen. Many times I have been given permission to enter a home via the lock box, arrived at the appointed time, and have found homeowners unaware of any such appointment. If you have concerns, you should really redirect with real estate agents involved with the transaction.

We learned of the appraisal by the buyers agent calling us stating it had been completed and was sending over the report. The scope of work lists that a complete visual inspection of the inside of the home must be done. We also saw that there was lockbox activity on the day of the appraisal.​

on a less much more serious side. The appraiser has probably caused lock-box activity to cover his butt, got the inside sketch from the agent and said he did something he did not actually do.

Be on the lookout for the one arm appraiser.

This is one of the reasons I do not have an MLS key. I always insist that one of the agents or the seller meet me at the property.

If the agent tells me to meet them at a certain time, I assume that thay have cleared it with the seller. Your case may be that the appraiser had permission from the agent, but the agent did not get your permission.
