I received this request today from Pro Teck:
A MORTGAGE INSPECTION request is waiting for you at Pro Teck
Fees collected by Vendor: $10.00
Services Requested:
- AVM Value Focus
- Photo of house # (located on house, curb, mailbox etc) to verify correct property
- Photo of the road in front of the property
- Photo of the subject from the front
Please provide commentary on subject condition.
Please provide commentary on subject location highlighting any positive or negative features.
Please provide commentary on local market area (stable, increasing, decreasing, presence of distressed properties, etc.)
A clear photo of the house is required, if you are unable to provide a clear photo (gated community, long driveway, etc.) please contact your vendor manager immediately for instructions on how to proceed.
Clear address verification is also required, if subject does not have house number please provide alternative form of verification for client to verify that the correct house was photographed.
If the subject address differs from that provided on order please contact vendor manager, address must be exact (including abbreviations such as "N" or "S" or "St" vs. "Ln" for example).
APN (if provided above) must also match exactly, if the APN is discovered to be different please contact vendor manager.
In the General comments section, please indicate/comment on if the subject is detached or attached.
The kicker is that when I went on the web site to DECLINE it, someone already accepted it.
Agents/Brokers! You are doing this to yourself! Its a shame to be requesting a service like this for $10, but it is a greater shame to actually do the work for $10. If you have no value for your professional skills, knowledge, expertise, time - you have no business to be in this business. We spent thousands of dollars on education, memberships, licensing, and other business associated costs and to allow these companies to treat you like an unskilled laborer is disgusting.
