Answering Questions After

Delivery of the Report

 
After delivering an appraisal to a client they often have additional questions, unfortunately not all of these questions are legitimate or proper for the appraiser to answer. This short class will outline eight (8) common questions and provide information that will help solve the client’s needs, while keeping the appraiser safe and compliant with USPAP.

 Some of the questions and answers Richard will address are:

·        Can you simply change the effective appraisal date after delivery of a report?

·        Since the buyer/seller changed the purchase price can you simply change information on the delivered appraisal?

·        Can the appraiser “retype” the appraisal into a different client’s name?

·        Was the house or component X built to code?

·        If the house is destroyed can it be rebuilt?

·        Can’t the appraiser simply use “cost to cure” when determining a new value for an unfinished home?

·        The comparable’s house is gone can’t I still use it as a house comp?

·        Does an appraisal have to use bracketing?
