Appraisal
Procedure & Policies
Our
policy is to phone or otherwise make a contact with the person
you designate within 24 hours of receiving an order from you for
purposes of establishing a date and time for an appraiser to see
the subject property. Once the property has been visited with
both hard and photographic data gathered, our standard report
preparation time for, specifically, a 1004 or 2055 report is three
business days from the date the property was seen. Other types
of reports may take more or less time depending upon complexity.
Our
procedures and reports follow the Uniform Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and more stringent standards, if appropriate,
as established by agreement at the time of order acceptance; and
only at that time. We strive to provide the best possible comparables
from the outset. If we are subsequently asked to search for alternative
or supplemental comparables, there will be a minimum charge of
$75 for search time up to one hour. Each hour thereafter or portion
thereof will also be charged at the rate of $75. We strive for
completeness in our appraisal reports the first time one is submitted
to you. If we determine we have not successfully done so, there
will be no charge for the additional time to do so. However, if
you wish additional information beyond standards agreed to at
the time of ordering, there will be additional charges at the
same rates as stated above.
We
wish to remind you that once an order has been placed, a client
stated, and the scope of work defined; there can be no changes
in these items at a later time. For example, there cannot be a
change in client, borrower, or lender. There cannot be a change
in the type of report to be done or, say, a non-FHA report changed
to an FHA report. The only way these items can be different from
the original order is for there to be a totally independent order
completed under the different stated parameters.
Thank
you in advance for your business. We will do our best to provide
you with the best in professional service. |
