I have to make a rant today about something that recently happened to me.  One of my listings went under contract recently.  Seems the appraisal company chosen to perform the appraisal didn't have access to the property.  They gave me a one day notice and I already had appointments for the time they were coming.  Seems they aren't willing to pay for the e-key.  What's this cost about $250 a year?  So since you are a cheapskate I need to come over and let you in?  Well when it's convenient to me.  Can you believe this?  You work in the business and won't spend a small sum to make you lively hood easier and save time waiting for others to let you in.

That is absurd! You would think that they would be "smart" enough to go and support their business. Perhaps you should charge them a "convenience" charge?

Hey, John. One would think that they would have one. I agree with you, if they don't have one then they are on your time. Thanks, Jim

Hi John, I think I would have to say something to the lender that they are using an appraiser that does not have a key to grant access which is a basic tool for any business associated with the local housing industry.  I wonder if they are associate members of the local board?  Is their license current...they make me want to take the time to see if they keep up continuing education.  Pretty kind rant John.
