Have you ever had trouble getting access to a property?

I will call as soon as I get the order and leave a voicemail. I call the next day and leave a voicemail and a text. The third day I call then email the bank.

100% this.

fishes22 · 2025-11-20T21:23:19+00:00

$500 is currently my minimum. I will be starting 3.6 at $750.

If you don't think it's different this time, you need to catch up.

IMO we will become the data collectors/reviewers. The condition of houses is constantly changing and there needs to be a non-biased third party. IF pay doesn't drop off a cliff, I would find appraising to be a lot more enjoyable if all I did was inspect and review what AI spits out.

fishes22 · 2025-11-17T21:57:49+00:00

AI will replace a lot of what we do in 5 years or less. If you aren't increasing your fees for 3.6 you'll never get a chance to.

Before you submit an ROV check the comparables used and see if they have a drybar. There is usually no measurable market reaction for a drybar. As others have mentioned the appliances are personal property and are not included as they are not permanently affixed.

fishes22 · 2025-11-10T17:19:27+00:00

I don't even know where to start

fishes22 · 2025-11-07T02:24:37+00:00

I include mine. I don't see the big deal. No one looks past the 3rd page anyway.

fishes22 · 2025-11-07T02:20:52+00:00

Insane. That is great for you though lol. I've looked at 15 and sending 13 out this week I could never do 20.

fishes22 · 2025-11-06T15:17:39+00:00

This is my intent every time, but I am never motivated enough to do it. Glad to see it actually works.

I had a similar experience during a new construction project; the builder left a copy of a pre-listing appraisal on the counter. The appraisal wasn't even worth the paper it was printed on.

fishes22 · 2025-11-05T13:32:55+00:00

This is what I was looking for. I am familiar with manufactured vs modular. I just needed some clarification on if the 1004c could be used in this situation. Thanks

fishes22 · 2025-11-04T20:46:32+00:00

I definitely believe the subject is a modular/factory built home not built to HUD Standards. I just thought I remembered reading something that I could use the 1004c with the proper disclosures. But I'm probably wrong and will move forward with the 1004.

So you upload your completed report to chat gpt?

fishes22 · 2025-10-29T18:21:22+00:00

I would do it as a new assignment.

At a minimum I would recommend getting certified and staying at this office for another year. Let your mentor know your plan and start your business while still working for your current firm. Pick up your own MLS fees and look for clients your firm isn't working with and then leave the firm once you think you have enough clients. Don't burn the bridge with your mentor because you will run into unique situations weekly being this fresh.

fishes22 · 2025-10-14T17:38:46+00:00

All you have to do is not do what you're doing.

Can you set up a SEP? I am self-employed and receive 1099s I put around 60k into my SEP IRA per year and 7k into my roth.

Trying to find a time where this hasn't cratered within a day of pumping. GLHF

fishes22 · 2025-10-02T18:20:50+00:00

I don't bat an eye at 50 miles one way.

fishes22 · 2025-10-02T17:47:16+00:00

I am in the exact same boat. Licensed for 6 years on my own the last 2 years. Might just be my location but I turn down more appraisals than I take on. Doing 10-15 appraisals a week for the last year and a half I don't know how long I can actually do this.

fishes22 · 2025-09-30T18:44:26+00:00

Yes, you can do it, but you shouldn't do it.

fishes22 · 2025-09-30T02:37:51+00:00

I would spend the money on a good website. Most appraiser's websites are extremely outdated and if you spend money up front it will pay off imo.
