Appraisers Definition of Value
USPAP requires an appraisal report to include a citation of the source of the value of definition used for the appraisal.  The Board often see reports where the citation if omitted because appraisers are used to it being part of the language included in the report by the software company. Please check your reports carefully!  If the company does not include the language, you must add it to your addendum as standard language.

Drive-By Rule
Effective August 2007, REAB will no longer award experience credit for residential appraisals that do not include both an interior and exterior inspection (drive-by appraisals). Credit will be awarded for drive-by appraisals completed by the applicant prior to August 24, 2007.
