This is what I was told about Desktops...

[shrubberyvaluation]

Had a desktop order in my e-mail. Before I could even look at the order. It was taken by another appraiser in less than 10 minutes. (These are not your typical blast orders. They offer them to a couple of appraiser at a good set fee. First come first serve). I had to chuckle when I looked up the property. It is a purchase but not on MLS. The ordered a 1004 desktop. But the property is actually a free standing condo (not a site condo). I know this complex well. Large number of fsbos. Have a feeling it will turn into a full appraisal.

Yea I would take it if its a good fee, then tell them there isn't enough info available and to convert it. Should be easy to explain when there is no MLS listing.
