Regular Due Date, But 24 Hours After Inspection?

That's true but like appraisers that add tons of addenda-disclosures that nobody reads. The difference is when push comes to shove the AMC or lender wins if a dispute arises because the weak defence that you didn't read it won't work and your not getting paid extra for your lack of attention.

I agree with the endless addendum that some appraisers put in reports. I probably do one report a year where I have to add an additional addendum page. Everything goes on page one and the comment section on page 3.

And most of the **** on page 3 are required disclosure commentary that the lender wants.

I think it’s just human nature to be long-winded. But when you write professional reports, you’re not paid by the word.

I read the first couple of pages of the long engagement letter since different clients have different demands. When I understood what they want then I can accept or put my conditions for acceptance.

If you don't need the client then yes but she admits after fully reading the Assignment Conditions it's there in writing.

Sneaky yes but that's how they roll so Rule #1 is learn always to read assignment conditions line by line and the same with contracts.

No.... the order should have informed the would be appraiser bidders that the assignment is a 24-hour turn time after date of inspection. Not accept the assignment and then find out it's a 24-hour turn time. That's bait and switch.

We’ve come a long way from an address, contact name/number and a note to collect at the door

I prefer to the old way. Much better process.
