Q

You have arrived at work Monday morning in your appraisal office and you receive a phone call from a potential client looking to hire your professional services. In a most unusual day, you then receive two more phone calls from this same client about further appraisal work on this same property. In other words, a single client, a single property, but with three differing intended uses. The three scenarios are as follows:

Scenario 1: the client owns a single-family dwelling and is attempting to negotiate a mortgage; needs an appraisal for lending purposes.
• Scenario 2: the client has been offered a promotion in another city and the employer will help with relocation expenses, paying the difference between the value of the current residence and an equivalent residence in the new city.
• Scenario 3: the client calls a third time, notifying you that their spouse will not be joining them in this relocation; the client now needs your assistance in preparations for the forthcoming matrimonial litigation.
These three scenarios were presented to 30 participants in the CPD 124 Scope of Work webinar. The participants were asked how long they would spend on each scenario, specifically the tasks of neighbourhood analysis, supply/demand analysis, inspection of comparable sales, and financing verification for the comparable sales.

How would the letter of engagement would differ for each scenario….

A

Each of the three scenarios builds on depth of due diligence needed to present credible professional work.
