When is report signature date required to be revised?

You changed the report by adding the comments, so yes new sig date.

The real question is why revise a report to say "no revision was made"?
I guess if the lender wants commentary as to why no revision is necessary in the report.
 
I'm confused by the OP in that he mentions he revised his report ( which would require a signature date change) then in his NOTE: at the bottom of the OP, he states nothing was changed in the original report.

If you pointed out to the reviewer that the report mentions no health and safety concerns in the Improvements section, then you can hold your ground. But it sounds as if the reviewer specifically wants the converted patio mentioned as no health and safety concerns.

So you've got to ask yourself, is this the hill you want to die on?

State in the report there are no health and safety concerns with the converted patio to living area, make note of it in the addendum, change the signature date and be done with it.

It would appear you attended the same "learn not to read academy" as the reviewer.

How so?
The Reviewer made a revision request by asking whether there were any health and safety concerns with the enclosed covered porch that had been improved as a living room.
In my opinion, the Reviewer obviously did not bother to read the appraisal report in the Improvement Section on page 1 where i had indicated there were no apparent health and safety concerns at time of inspection.
So far so good... But the reviewer (obviously from an AMC) wants the converted enclosed porch (which I believe is a patio) mentioned "specifically" and not just a blanket statement that there's no health and safety issues with the entire dwelling.

So i had responded in the "revised report", that there were no health or safety concerns during the appraisal inspection which is already noted in the appraisal report on Page 1 under Improvement Section, and also noted that no revision had been made to the report signature date because no changes were made to the report.
Here's where it jumps the rails.....Op states "he did" revise report....then states no revision had been made. Is this or is this not confusing by the OP?

NOTE: So all of you believe the report signature date needs to be revised in this particular case, even though nothing has been changed in the report itself, other than responding to the Reviewer that the revision request has already been addressed in the report? That makes absolutely no common sense at all.
Again, states nothing was changed in OA..... So, I recommended "specifically" mentioning no health and safety issues with converted enclosed porch, change signing date and move on....

So which learn not to read academy did you attend? :)
 
I guess some can't string two facts together into a simple conclusion. OP stated in the report that no h&s issues were noted during their inspection. The OP described the modified porch, demonstrating that the porch was viewed during their inspection. How could anyone conclude that the latter wasn't intended as a part of the former? That the client wants to write the report is outside the scope of work, I suspect. And the reviewer apparently read the report eventually, and wanted a new date, but didn't repeat the demand for inclusion of the reviewer's verbiage/opinion in the report. It appears they were able to think through the original submission.

You being an AG, probably don't have to deal with these AMC scumbags (kudos to you). if you do, due to your license level, you probably get your desired fee and very minimal flak. They make these inane requests to justify their position as it's really slow. I'm off the AMC merry go round right now and couldn't imagine the stupidity coming from these people. Some appraisers aren't so lucky....
 
Plenty of times I get an ROV and no revision is made to the report but I explain it in the report.

By adding "no revisions were made" to the report, you have made a revision. My point is if there is nothing to add to the report, YOU DON'T REVISE IT!

If the client required me to unsign, add "no revisions were made" to the report, resign, reprint and resend they would be getting billed extra for it

That bill would end up in the AMC's deleted file folder and you would be out of rotation....how dare you charge for your time...
