fha appraiser in st louis mo: Appraiser Cannot Bend on FHA Property Guidelines! - 01/28/09 10:17 PM
This Missouri appraiser feels tired and worn down from real estate agents, loan production staff and recently underwriters telling him to look the other way on FHA concerns. HUD wrote a code for various things to be checked, I am not a building inspector, and I certainly do not wish to perform home inspections. Just a few things have to be in order. In previous blogs, I have summarized the FHA observation. Any appraiser in Missouri has long understood that no house is a perfect structure with all million parts in perfect order.

This market has resulted in many Real Estate Professionals in Missouri leaving. Not just Salespeople, there are mortgage professionals, Appraisers, Surveryors, Abstractors and many others that have left the business to never come back. This is sad to see some of our friends that we made over the years leave us, however it is a great oppertunity to capture market share.
Each of these professionals had prior customers, contacts and friends that can no longer call on them. For those that can make the investment for future business, wow!  Unfortunately, I am in a position of survival and digging my heels into … (0 comments)
