Which Form?

It is fine to ask real estate agent or buyer/seller to submit information to your client and your client to submit it to you a/k/a ROV.

Don't take a bunch of crap like 20 sales all over God's green earth from your client. I'll give you a response to YOUR CLIENT.

"Please supply any information you would like me to consider within 2 business days as well as a supporting summary and analysis of the information."

Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Don't send me a bunch of crap in other words. Don't send it that way.

You can tell the agent the same thing.
 
I wonder if they plan to supply you with their comps.......
They absolutely will! It's up to the OP to discern if the broker's "sales" are competitive to the subject.

If the broker demands their sales be used in the OP's appraisal...... it's an unacceptable assignment condition.

It is fine if it goes through the OP's client. Don't accept crap without reasoning and analysis.

I can be hard on real estate agents. They like me most of the time. The real estate agent has liability also to the real estate agent's client.

I have most liability to my client(s).

The real estate agent is biased for their client and legally. I operate in a different atmosphere with no bias.
 
Understand OP? My specialty is valuing real property rights.
 
Yeah, that is a problem if you have seen the previous appraisal for your client and have reviewed it. You have to take care of your client. The real estate agent is not your client.
Reminds me of a long AF thread a few years ago when an esteemed appraiser explained his involvement as an appraiser consultant in many legal matters--although I never understand how one could be a consultant without having their objectivity questioned...

I think you can be a consultant and not put a value on the subject. When you put a value on the subject............it becomes an appraisal. The issue here is real estate agent trying to work the appraiser and the real estate agent is not the client of the appraiser. I get valuable information from agents all the time. That is not the problem.

I would lead the agent through my client since my appraisal to my client has already been accepted. ROV.

I would tell the agent submit to my client like you would do a BPO. Don't send my client 22 sales all over God's green earth with no reasoning and analysis. You are welcome to send it to me but I need it to go through my client and my client send it to me.

It keeps everything clean with my client.

I know how the game is played.

VA plays the game on the front end. That is why they required no bailout. VA is the client along with lender. The same protocol VA uses is fine on conventional, FHA, etc.etc.etc.

Notice ..............Did you see VA in appraisal bias hearings?

I can answer. NO.

We saw many representatives to Congress. VA did not appear.

VA needed no bailout.

I understand there are mitigating factors with our veterans. None the less, VA needed no bailout.

I am a licensed R.E. Salesperson as well as a certified appraiser, but with very limited exposure as an agent, but I don't fullly understand the duty that an agent owes his or her client, which I think varies from state to state.
