By Craig Wallace – Long Beach Appraiser
I have been doing a bunch of Enhanced Desk Reviews for Bank of America lately. I enjoy doing these, because it gives me the opportunity to see what my peers are doing. I find things that other appraiser might do that I can use in my reports and things not to use or do. For the most part they have all been very competent reports with the exception of one.
However, the one thing that I run across that really bugs me the most, is when appraisers TYPE REPORTS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS! I understand that they want the information they are typing to “stand out” from the rest of the report. But it makes it really difficult to read. Is this really necessary?
A reviewer and underwriter know what they are supposed to be reading and where it is in the report.
So please no more TYPING REPORTS IN ALL CAPS
