If he signed his name as: (I have made a personal inspection) and an investigation for the purpose of forming an opinion of the ????. He like you and all of us tells the TRUTH. Should the client accept anything else you can write your own script or your client’s script.

But really, AMCs need to give up this crap of fake news presented by fake appraisers.

Nobody believes them anymore.

LOL, had to look that up. Hoping for 100% to go somewhere. It’s stale anyways and the difference between there and here is the way outsiders rely on search engines and bot crawlers. Regular researcher finds as top hits from this website. This website snatched the crown with no questions asked and no debate, because of the structure imposed by the administrator. Cheers.

Not since a few Danny Wiley posts in the past anyway.

“What’s your fee and turn time” ruined that particular model of approach. Have to use percentage based splits now. Amc’s love disabled appraisers, they’re much easier to take advantage of.

Am I the only one noticing that because of the amc companies completely indefensible positions, they are too afraid to ever write or post on this website?

$100 per house for the trainee – not your dad

(1) The best solution would be to do it with lender concurrence.
(2) Next best might be to have a licensed trainee inspect (while Dad was in the car) and invoking the American with Disabilities Act citing reasonable accommodation must be made. That to assure competency of field inspections a fully competent trainee (or license holding assistant ) Did a Real-time video of everything not visible from the car as well as portions that were visible from a car using FACETIME or similar product enabling your dad to see what the appraiser saw. The same method could be used inside the house.
(3) An argument (or at least argument for special consideration) could be separately made for a similar inspection type if your dad is not able to ride in a car.

The American Guild of Appraisers has at least one member we know of with limited physical abilities (wheelchair bound) who uses another licensed appraiser as an assistant to inspect the property (with disclosure). I can’t answer much more because I never had reason to ask more. I’m guessing it could also be economic to do so. $100 per house if not signing; negotiable amount above if researching; opining on comps and writing portions of the report. Using Clickforms Mobile or a similar app he could even get report well started before they ever left the property with real potential to do a couple a day.

When I worked at IRS we had a completely blind presenter giving a 45-minute complex powerpoint demonstration. He was great! Professionally competent, but also humorously able to demonstrate that what we saw as an impediment, was nothing of the kind for him. ALL large public meetings also had sign language translators.

you need an ADA lawyer to answer your question, not a USPAP over rides lending regs, when USPAP requires you to follow lending regs answers.

But while your are doing that, might as well have more fun and look up Affirmative Action requirements for lenders and lender subcontractors and start questioning if AMCs are meeting those affirmative action requirements.

Lots of fun legal questions can be asked of appraisers, doesn’t mean a dang thing without an attorney.

For inspection requirements it would seem apparent that the person helping must have some measure of experience since there is an additional limitation regarding some of the essential hands on training. If lenders managed distribution more responsibly, it would seem that integrating disabled and elderly appraiser persons into the lineup would become more routine as a matter of fact. Rising deminis may hit the elderly and disabled the hardest, there will be no more simple work with predictable challenges. Cheers.
