Do I spend my time to tell a AMC/Bank how to do a ROV.
I am doing an appraisal where the owner is insisting that garage be included in the GLA because it is heated. Garage is finished but still a functioning garage with overhead doors. The owner called me and wants me to use larger comps in my report. I told the owner that I couldn’t respond to their request directly but ask the bank to submit a ROV and I will give a formal response. To try and fend off the ROV I stated that my response would be that per guidelines, the heated garage would not be included in the GLA and would not change my report. She then texts me a message from the LO that the bank is not allowed to talk to me and that she needs to submit the ROV directly to me. I told the owner that is not how it works and the bank would submit the ROV to the AMC, the AMC would submit it to me and I would do a formal response. So a week goes by and yesterday I get an email from the AMC with one comp attached and the message “the bank wanted me to send this to you”. I know what this is about, but I am playing dumb at this point. I respond to the email and tell them my report is complete, I don’t know why you are sending me this. The response was “please put it in your report” nothing else. I responded and said please call me so we can discuss. I haven’t heard anything yet, but I feel like this incompetence is ridiculous and wonder why am I spending my time educating them on how to create more work for me.
