Is it common practice or even legal for an appraiser to talk with the previous owner of a property? The reason that I ask is that I purchased a property (my only) about a year ago and have recently been trying to refinance. Everything was seemingly going fine until the appraisal came back way short of what I was expecting (higher than what I owe, but not good). I have not seen the appraisal report yet, but from my conversation with the lender (who was upset with me), the appraiser talked with someone who he seemed to believe was the previous owner who told him that the well water on the place (this is in an area with wells but the property has no well yet) was "bad" - which is news to me and my paperwork from the seller (as well as just not correct at all). My main problem would come in right here. The previous owner is far away, seemed to be hard to reach (especially in such a short period of time), and I doubt so dumb as to incriminate himself so flagrantly. The appraiser more likely talked to a local estranged (for good reason) relative of the seller (who was renting out the property illegally and did not want to stop -and didnĹt- simply because I owned the property) or the private/professional investor that holds the note. I would add here that the appraiser never talked to myself or toured the property - it is a sloped small acreage and they did take pictures from as far as I can gather 1 of the gates. The appraisal also was received by the lender 1 week late (customary?). If the appraisal was legitimate and just lower than I expected, I can live with that (not that IĹd have much of a choice) - but I feel that something just isnĺt right here and Iĺd appreciate any advice. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you spoken with the appraiser directly and/or asked for the report? You're depending on rumors to make sense of things and it's really not going to help much if you do that, only confuse the issue more. If the appraiser is from a reputable place/company then I'd stick with what he says and look at the report. After all, he doesn't have a personal interest in your place, but if he has been misled, should know about it, rather than be suspected of being under handed. |
Am I missing something? You say there is no well but the appraiser says your well is bad? If that is true, I would find a way to prove there was no well. If anything, nothing is selling which would account for your low appraisal. If the appraisal bothers you, pay someone yourself to do another one. |

Get your health department to test the water. |
Thank you for the replies. I have never spoken to the appraiser or even his "office" - I have left polite messages that request that he call me. He called on a Saturday (the Saturday after the Tuesday on which the appraisal was "due"), I returned the call on Sunday (left a message) and the report was at the lender on Monday. I donĺt know how appraisers work in other areas but here it seems that the requirements are a small pickup, a cell phone, and a color printer (or access to a Kinkos or similar) - a ladder would be going the extra mile. They are not employed by firms or have employees other than their spouse - there are literally hundreds of "companies" in my area that could have been called upon. -A search of his name and company information place him right as his house as expected. I apologize if that sounded too negative, they provide a valuable service but IMO reputation depends on whom you talk to and they are not generally hired based on it. There is no well to be tested (wish that there was). The county has an extensive (and easily searchable) list of wells - it is needed for septic approvals. Sadly, the damage is done and I have moved on - as did the lender (who could blame them). I do not really expect to ever see the appraisal report - It would make for an interesting hobby for a while though. Thanks Again. |
"I do not really expect to ever see the appraisal report - It would make for an interesting hobby for a while though." If you paid for the appraisal, you have the right to a copy. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rules on providing appraisal reports.
I agree, if you paid for the appraisal you must get a copy. Who requested the appriasal--loan company? Have you paid any fees yet? Did you fill out an application and pay for investigation reports like credit reports and pay for this. Did your lender just turn you down and will this effect your credit report for future request. Without a well you may not be able to refinace it as a livable piece of property. Is your lender a bank or?? |
- Posted by ncrealestateguy (My Page) on Sat, Mar 28, 09 at 7:41
I'm confused... you say the report came back more than you owe. Doesn't that make you good for the refinance? And if so, then who cares about the rest? |

I really dislike the change. I can no longer justify getting it on the non-mana casters I like to play, like Kat/Morde/Vlad in Dominion. Oh, and AP Trynd.
it's not a go to item for every ap now. goes real nice with my zyra. though.
BFT is so nerfed. with the buffs to dfg I doubt I will build it at all, dfg+guise is only 300g more but gives 65 ap more at the cost of only 5% cdr and 100 health and lets you blow people up.
Yeah I dont know why they keep making BFT bigger and bigger. Simply nerf it as needed and move on. It doesnt need to be the TriForce of APs... The BFT passive effect only shines on certain champion playstyles and taking the item should reflect that.
BFT is also the only high end item with flap mpen. That makes it shine on every mage who dreams about dealing damage.
you don't need bft to get that magic pen. save yourself 2500 gold
I've stopped building BFT in most situations. I only built this item for the passive burn in many builds. Now it just takes to long. There's no chance I buy this for Akali or Mord anymore, which is sad. Back to Rylai's as my 1st item.

As a first step - clean out all the old fluid from the master cylinder and hydraulic brake lines, and replace with new fluid - be sure to refill during the brake bleeding process.
Check the following auto parts sources for the replacement parts; www.rockauto.com, www.partsgeek.com, www.autopartswarehouse.com - to list only a few possible sources. For example, they (RockAuto) list the flexible front brake hoses from around $8.70 each (be sure to always replace the flexible brake hoses in pairs, due to mileage / wear and age considerations).

Of course , since he's a billionaire, too, it wouldn't be very surprising for Bloomin' Rich Mike to do what he can to shut down the protest and protect his fellow Wall Street billionaires. He'd just be protecting his fellow billionaires. But is it too late for the protests to be shut down? Would it really be stupid to try to shut them down? I kind of think that lots more people will suddenly be interested and will show up in New York City and other places if Bloomin' Rich Mike sends the police and there are problems. What do you think?

By Carmen Gonzalez DevOps Summit 2015 New York, co-located with the 16th International Cloud Expo - to be held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY - announces that it is now accepting Keynote Proposals.
The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential. Feb. 1, 2015 01:15 PM EST Reads: 2,820 |
By Elizabeth White The Industrial Internet revolution is now underway, enabled by connected machines and billions of devices that communicate and collaborate.
The massive amounts of Big Data requiring real-time analysis is flooding legacy IT systems and giving way to cloud environments that can handle the unpredictable workloads.
Yet many barriers remain until we can fully realize the opportunities and benefits from the convergence of machines and devices with Big Data and the cloud, including interoperability, data security and privacy. Feb. 1, 2015 01:00 PM EST Reads: 3,059 |
By Carmen Gonzalez Wearable devices have come of age. The primary applications of wearables so far have been "the Quantified Self" or the tracking of one's fitness and health status. We propose the evolution of wearables into social and emotional communication devices. Our BE(tm) sensor uses light to visualize the skin conductance response. Our sensors are very inexpensive and can be massively distributed to audiences or groups of any size, in order to gauge reactions to performances, video, or any kind of presentation.

By Pat Romanski Since 2008 and for the first time in history, more than half of humans live in urban areas, urging cities to become "smart." Today, cities can leverage the wide availability of smartphones combined with new technologies such as Beacons or NFC to connect their urban furniture and environment to create citizen-first services that improve transportation, way-finding and information delivery.

By Elizabeth White The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging.

By Elizabeth White Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality.

By Pat Romanski The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.
When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary.

448,570 deals (and counting) from around the web, shared and ranked by a community of deal fiends like you. Go to Deals.Woot.
Over the next 24 hours, loyal wooter, you're going to hear a lot of nasty rumors about Woot getting into bed with a big corporation. We're here to tell you that they're all true. We'd hoped to announce the grand opening of Halliburton.Woot tonight, but our security clearances were revoked (long story). So we turned away from the dark side and found one of the good guys to work with. Beginning at midnight CDT tonight, Woot and Yahoo! will be partners in a new venture we're calling Sellout.Woot. (We'd link to the front page right now, but we can't, exactly. More on that in a minute.) If you need a light for your cigar, you can use one of our new hundred-dollar bills.
Yes, it's the same Yahoo! you're thinking of. They came to Woot with the idea that we could spruce up Yahoo! Shopping by offering an exclusive daily deal through them. Fortunately for us, they also wheeled up a barrowful of sweet, metaphorical cash, in the form of access to their gigunda audience of shoppers who've never met Woot. Far be it from us to pass up an opportunity to synergize! We're, uh, idealistic that way. The upshot is that Sellout.Woot will offer a Woot-style daily deal that's different from the one on Woot.com, seven days a week.
Of course, no catch, no cash, metaphorical or not. And the catch is, you can only reach Sellout.Woot through Yahoo! Shopping's front page at shopping.yahoo.com (after we launch at midnight tonight, that is). It's a pain, we know, but one of the benefits of sponsorship is that Yahoo! gets to lure you all through their front door. Like everything else in this experimental venture, that door might occasionally get stuck. Rest assured that any such mishaps won't keep you from getting a Bag O' Crap – we're contractually obligated to keep our crap to ourselves.
Otherwise, this Yahoo! partnership gives us some room to experiment. We can push our product envelope, stretch our marketing muscles, and hook whole new demographic cohorts on the Woot narcotic. We can follow our mentally unstable muses without inflicting any pain on you guys (well, any more than usual, anyway). All the classic Woot identifying features – daily deals, bustling forums, obnoxious humor – will still be fully present and accounted for.
If you're already a Woot member, your existing account works with Sellout.Woot, too. It should be fascinating to see how the battle-scarred, ultra-cynical Woot audience interacts with the Yahoo! Shopping crowd. We're not sure if this mixture will turn out like chocolate and peanut butter, or ammonium nitrate and gasoline.
So there it is: snot-nosed little Woot holding hands with big button-down Yahoo!, as we skip together towards a shining new era in ecommerce. And it all starts at midnight tonight. See you at Yahoo! Shopping – we'll be the goofballs over in the corner, giggling and counting our money.
Well, there goes the neighborhood. j/k
sounds like a truck load of cash rolled into the woot warehouse ;)
I think that those posting #'s 4-100 should get a posting bonus with all of your spare hundreds.
Hmmm slow crowd - more for me!
I say congratulations! We're still gonna have the regular Woot! Many times you see a company "Partner" with some big one and it completely changes, Woot didn't do this and that's what makes it the best!
Why no Woot! announcement on the Yahoo! YHOO stock page? They do own their own company. Maybe they don't know?
finally my yahoo shares might be worth something
should have waited for google to offer
So long as I can still buy cheap crap, and there's an RSS feed, I'm okay with it. ... Please let there be an RSS feed?
Just don't become like mp3.com after cnet bought them out, and we'll be good. I'm just pissed because now there's going to be a huge influx of customers on this side of woot.com, and a bunch more dolts asking about what the barge of carps is when it graces the front page.
Blinged - Out - Caretakers?

so- not much different, eh?
good for you woot! may your business forever grow!!
to be clear, this is not an announcement of a yahoo investment in woot, nor a newly formed operational corporate entity/partnership thing -- this is two sites teaming up to share ideas and traffic.
Just wish woot will have a better business.

just buy some more servers with the money and ill be happy =D
..and what about the boatloads of money Jason was talking about?
what. the. feet.
ooh so there's going to be TWO woots a day? Sweet!
But with Yahoo!....You guys should go to Google and ask for front page linkage... "Google Search" "Im feeling Lucky" "Woot of the Day" Those are the new google buttons. epic lulz! that would be so awesome.... Damn, maybe I should start my own woot site and take it to google. WooWOOT of the day! I got it! whoo hooOOO!
Too bad Woot isn't partnering with Starbucks. Would love to get a Bandolier of Carrots with my crappy coffee and crappy music.
lulz, epic thread
can sellout.woot afford to upgrade from smartpost?
SkyShard wrote:just buy some more servers with the money and ill be happy =D
epic lulz!, yeah, or just use some of Yahoo!'s, I am sure their datacenter is amazing. But yeah, way to make a niche market not-so-niche anymore by partnering with Yahoo! Oh well, I guess that just means there are two deals a day instead of one. Oh, and, why would you ever sign a contract that says you cannot sell b.ags o.f c.rap? How sad
Just a suggestion. Could you maybe work in EST? 1am is a I haven't bathed in days!! I wrote "1am is a k i l l e r." Nice hack, whoever did it.
Does this mean Woot will now be cooperating with the Chinese government? You promise you won't be "inflicting any pain on you guys (well, any more than usual, anyway)", but I'm not clear on whether that means you will or won't be following Yahoo!'s official policy of handing in information that leads to individuals' torture and imprisonment. Can we look forward to future prosecution of Woot under the Alien Tort Statute and the Torture Victim Protection Act? And I would really, really like to see Woot appear before the House Foreign Affairs Committee (see http://foreignaffairs.house.gov/press_display.asp?id=406) I'd get CSPAN just to watch that one. I mean, I'm all for you guys making money and shilling crap, but why did you partner with the one web site that's openly complicit in the commission of human rights violations?
Considering Yahoo's willingness to help imprison users and otherwise screw over the people who just want to use the internet freely and safely, this will be my last ever interaction with Woot. I'd be sad, but y'all are off counting money and clearly don't give a rat's ass about your users, so I'll just skip off into the sunset, merrily whistling the tune of "yay! new places to shop! new places to shop!"

Oh, I agree completely. No RSS feed = no traffic from me. You can't expect me to remember to visit every day. I've got lots of stuff to do. That little "Woot(1)" showing up in my Safari Bookmarks Bar is the only way I remember to go check woot every day...

CALABASH—Town commissioners have hired a new town administrator.
Vincent Long III of Pinehurst accepted the commissioners' offer and signed a contract Monday afternoon.
His first day as town administrator will be next Tuesday, July 1, interim town clerk Kelley Southward said.
Long previously has worked as an administrator at several "fairly large" towns and small cities out-of-state, including California, Mayor Pro Tem Forrest King said Tuesday.
CAROLINA SHORES—Planning and zoning board members say they need better details from applicants who want to guide improvements of the town's land use ordinance.
While the town has received four applications for the consulting position, board chairman Jim Hartnett said the board does not have enough information from most of them.
At the board's June 18 workshop, "we all came to the conclusion there is not enough information to make an affirmative recommendation to the board of commissioners," Hartnett said Monday.
CAROLINA SHORES—Town commissioners are to vote on resolutions opposing pending legislative bills that eliminate Powell Bill paving funds and place a moratorium on involuntary annexations.
Commissioners will consider the proposed resolutions at their monthly meeting at 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 1, at town hall, 200 Persimmon Road.
Carolina Shores deputy town clerk Lisa Anglin said last week the tentative agenda for commissioners' monthly meeting includes a measure opposing state House Bill 2751, "Highway Fund Name Changes."
Holden Beach Commissioners voted 4-1 to approve a $13,001,205 budget for the next fiscal year at their meeting Tuesday night in the Holden Beach Chapel Fellowship Hall.
The budget has no tax increase, but the water rate goes up 20 cents per 1,000 gallons.
Commissioner Gary Staley cast the lone dissenting vote, saying he was glad residents won't face a tax increase but he still thought things could have been cut from the budget.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—Town commissioners approved the budget for the 2008-2009 fiscal year Tuesday.
The $11,932,798 budget includes a 1-cent increase to 9 cents per $100 of valuation.
Earlier this month, Mayor Debbie Smith said the town did not want to propose a tax increase, but with increased costs and budget shortfalls facing the town, there was no other option.
One of the new costs facing the town is the takeover of the Ocean Isle Beach Fire Protection Association, effective July 1. The town will assume a $198,000 deficit when it takes over the department.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—Ray Blanchette knows he did the wrong thing when he parked his car in the off-limits Intracoastal Waterway boat ramp parking lot one recent Saturday night.
The Sunset Beach retiree knows it for a fact, because state wildlife officer Charles Hinson handed him a ticket imposing a $50 fine, plus $120 court costs.
Blanchette said he parked in the off-limits lot for about 30 minutes while he walked over to the nearby Ocean Isle Fishing Center to check on tournament results. When he returned to his car around 8:30 p.m., Hinson gave him a citation.
Ocean Isle Beach will celebrate Independence Day with its sixth annual Fourth of July Parade, sponsored by the Ocean Isle Property Owners Association.
Parade chairman Lynda Eagle said individual streets such as Scotland, Richmond and Laurinburg used to have their own Fourth of July parades. Having one parade for the entire town was an event the property owners association decided it would like to sponsor, Eagle said.
The parade now draws both locals and visitors, as more than 700 people participated in the parade last year and even more lined the streets and watched.
A judge has ruled in favor of the town of Shallotte and dismissed a lawsuit filed by two Shallotte Point residents who protested a rezoning that would allow condominium development near their home.
Husband and wife Chris Musi and Pam Sabalos, who live on Riverbend Drive, filed suit last year against the town of Shallotte, claiming the town's rezoning of land on the street for the proposed Holden's Landing condominium project was "arbitrary" and amounted to illegal "spot zoning."
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has dismissed a complaint by a Cardinal Pointe resident who claimed she received unfair treatment from managers of the Shallotte apartment complex.
The complainant, Amy Bass, said this week she plans to file for reconsideration and is also consulting with state disability rights officials about other options.
SHALLOTTE—Firefighters stood at attention in the truck bay of the new fire station Thursday, receiving commendations from their chief and town staff.
It was the first-ever achievement ceremony for the Shallotte firefighters and Fire Corps members, but it won't be the last, officials say.
Fire chief Paul Dunwell, Mayor Pro Tem Buddy Kelly and town administrator Paul Sabiston honored all the firefighters—full- and part-time, volunteers and paid staff—with achievement certificates.
