GSE Decision-Making Process
As of 04/29/2020
GSE Flexible COVID-19 Appraisal Requirements:
- The appraisal report must include the word “desktop” in the “Map Reference” field.
- The report must include the Modified Set of Instructions, Scope of Work, Statement of Assumptions and Limiting Conditions, and Certification for Desktop Appraisals.
- Extraordinary assumptions are not permissible. The appraiser MUST have a data source for the interior condition. If one cannot obtain a data source for the interior condition, then the appraisal must not be completed.
- Clarocity’s QuickSurvey tool is a simple solution to meet this GSE Requirement. For more information on QuickSurvey, please visit https://www.clarocityvs.com/products-and-services/quicksurvey/
