Possible move to a non-disclosure state.

And as much as this rubs those disclosure appraisers, MLS and realtors are pretty much it. Certification 10 goes out the window and most of my peers have disclosures within their reports stating that the non-disclosure status of law within the state makes strict adherence to this certification impossible.

We absolutely have a comment to this effect when we do appraisals in two of my four counties.

I know there are other appraisers that service these same two counties and it always amazes me that, when I call to confirm sales information with RE Agents in those areas, they say I'm the only one that ever calls them for ANYTHING.

So much for using verification sources for gridded comps. LOL :Eyecrazy:

At least in the DFW area "Z" sales, or non- sales price disclosure sales, are no longer allowed in MLS. There are some 3rd party companies who do commercial and land sales verifications, but you pay for these. Do not rely on affidavits filed with appraisal districts. Totally useless and verified as not valid.

I always wondered what appraisers faced in such states and the answers to the OP in this thread show it is even tougher than I thought. Seems like driving at night with no headlights. Not a lot to work with no matter how careful a driver you might be.
