Seems ‘thin’ VA has aldo had a Tidewater provision that absolutely runs contrary to AIR. If AV is liwer than contract Tidewater had to be invoked. In a nutshell it tells borrower and agents value is an isdue and come back with your nest support for value (like an ROV in advance.) Flip side…back in 2971 I lesrned CRV / value will not come in higher than requested amount.

In reply to Jim. I am as well. The sales contract is a piece of market data that needs to be analyzed. Some one signed a contract that they would pay “x” for said residence and putting down “x” in earnest money and/or an actual down payment. The bank is asking if the assets are worth the note being sought at a minimum, yes or no.

The value of your business is heavily impacted by the strength and profile of your brand. How you perform in servicing your customers is obviously a big determinant of brand value, but the way you market your offering and engage with clients, suppliers, staff and your community can also make the difference between moderate performance, and strong and sustained performance.

In reply to Michael Ford. Mike Ford, Tidewater allows the agents to present sales to support the contract price. However, it is extremely rare that they can. So it’s p **g in the wind and proves the appraisers point that the contract price is too high. It also diffuses the situation where tempers are flaring and shows the agent to be at fault for not representing their buyers’ best interests.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

Given that a lender does not select the VA appraiser or to directly provide the form to the appraiser I do not see how it is an AIR violation. The allegation of including property not in the legal description is another issue.

In reply to Tobby. It is because the lender is providing a predetermined value point they need to hit in order to make the loan work. It doesn’t matter the name of the Appraiser. They don’t care who the appraiser is, but what value point they hit. That is the whole, send a message to the appraiser with the number that work. I literally just got a VA order with a value point listed.

In reply to Tobby. I have already shared my experience with one client where I lost all other work with them that wasn’t VA. I also shared that the regulatory agencies don’t really care, or at least they don’t care about small time stuff. If it was a multi million issue that is reoccurring, a news splash, they won’t lift a finger. Only option is to sue people personally, or take it and move on to new clients.

Very interesting. Now, playing devil’s advocate here, couldn’t it be said that providing a Contract for Purchase of a stated property (per USPAP, and GSE/VA/FHA guidelines) to the appraiser, which contains the agreed purchase amount could also be tantamount to ‘influencing the appraiser’ such as this VA case alleges?

When I have asked VA about this very topic, should I evoke Tide Water Protocol on orders where this number can’t possibly be met, they simply stated that figure is to be ignored in all cases. However, that number was use in retribution against me that I should have notified the lender/client (Guild in this case) that value needed to get the loan to go through was possible and they should cancel the order.

In reply to Tobby Pagan. Yes. That is also violation of NAR golden rules, conduct rules 10, 11, 12 and 15 if I remember. They are attempting to influence the market and/or which contractors are permitted to work on site. It is a form of discrimination. However, unless you are actually going to sue someone privately, don’t expect anyone in the regulatory industry to care.
