OREA USPAP complaint

Status
Not open for further replies.
Not according to the USPAP guy at the state office. They would not tell me what they wanted an explanation on, that was the problem.


If you do a summary report, and its documented with analysis in the appraisal report, I do belive your client is entitled to your reasoning. As I said, check with your E&O Carrier. Perhaps other USPAP instructors will weigh in on this situation here.

Just guessing ... maybe the client filed a complaint with OREA. Who knows what the complaint alleges, however, OREA has contacted the OP with their request for the work files. It now becomes a matter for the state of California to investigate.

Who knows if this matter could have been averted at the start by satisfying the client's original request for an explanation.
 
Michael,

I can not speak for OREA.

In North Carolina the Board tells you what they want and why. If its a complaint, then they forward the complaint and ask you to respond to the allegations and to send the work file.

Maybe california has a strange way of doing things.
 
Michael,
It seems reasonable to me that you could ask for a copy of the
complaint against you or a good explanation why they wouldn't
give you a copy. Of course, all states do things differently.
 
Just a bit of advice: Send the copies of your reports and workfiles as requested; or just send in your license, (saving everyone a lot of time & trouble.)

OREA has the right to the files (you were a CA appraiser then.) If you refuse to submitt them, OREA can require TX to enforce the requirement now. The states all agree to this in their reciprocity contracts.

Your appraisals are summary reports with full resoning and documentation held in your work file. Again I suggest you ask your E&O carrier ... I think the client may be entitled to your reasoning. I dont think you can withhold it IF they ask.

That doesn't sound right. If the client pays for a summary report instead of a self contained report, they should not be able to come back at a later date and request a substantial amount of additional backup which would effectively expand the summary to a SC....not without paying anyway. Otherwise what's the point of a summary.

If the state wants you to back up your summary with your file and some more explanation you might well be wise to comply, but that doesn't sound like that's what's happening.

I think that has happened also.
 
AGAIN: As I have said, I will give my work file to the state.

My question was has anyone had anything like this happen?
 
Mr. Dixon,

Your original post is inconsistent with the later posts .. did OREA request the files? That seems to be what you'd originally stated, but it degenerated into providing the files to the client. Which, or both, is the case?
 
both,

the client asked a year ago.

OREA just asked.


and yes, the files to the client is background info not the reason for the post.
