Street Links is a joke, I was suppose to close a real estate deal today and because of Street links incompetence of knowing their own software or not giving a crap, it’s not closing, they have had the appraisal reinspection report since Wednesday at 11:00 and can’t get it to bank underwriters, seriously, this is not the way to do business, they have tarnished the reputation of the lending broker, the bank, Flagstar and the real estate agents involved in this deal because they can’t manually go into system change name/number on appraisal and send it on to the underwriters at the bank, come on we have a legal bindsing contract and they can’t do it the old-fashioned way and fax it, overnight it or whatever they have to do to ensure the contract conditions are met, ridiculous! Then you wouldn’t believe the questions they ask, how come there are no comps within a mile radius, well duh it’s out in the country, it’s an acreage! How can someone sitting behind a desk in Indiana know the first thing about the market here in Omaha, NE? third Party appraisal companies is NOT the solution, no wonder the public is afraid to get a loan if they have to deal with this?

Lets take a look at Steve Haslams career. Started at First Financial, then went to CITI, then went to Landsafe (Countrywides AMC), then he ends up at Novastar as Reatil lending VP. Nothing but a miserable trail of mortgage failure and corruption follows this 4 time loser.

So Sid, you think an officer of a dishonest, failed mortgage company would be a good CEO of an Appraisal Management Company? Good standards and ethics there right?

Wait!…let me get this right…it’s, as you say, “The lender and the buyers are the ones that took the beating…” That’s the story?! Whoa…the LENDERS took the beating. Those poor innocent b*st*rds… Yikes…I guess I’ve NEVER heard that it was the appraisers who caused this mess…at least not to the exclusion of the Lenders being culprits too. Dude, you’re a GENIUS! (or maybe you’re a lender…unlikely that you’d be both lol)

@Sid: Totally agree on that those who asked for greater appraisals led to the companies like Streetlinks become a growing threat to rest of us.

“Sid” – How exactly do appraisers inflate the purchase price of a home? I didn’t realize that was something I could do. Also, basing appraisal fees on the value of a home is illegal. Higher fees can be charged for complexity, size, etc. but not the loan amount.

This performance guarantee is very useful, especially to home buyers that don’t want to get shafted by realtors and appraisers trying to jack the purchase price up on them so they can make jam more deals through and more in commissions and fees. I’d much rather have the lender turn me down for a purchase because the appraisal came in low than to find out later that I’m underwater by 50% because the appraiser, realtor and mortgage broker worked together to jacked the appraisal up and get the loan to go through.

Who wudda thunk it. Another angry realtor/appraiser complaining about a company that doesn’t let their appraisers do deals with the realtor/mortgage broker to jack up the value of the appraisal and make his commissions/fees go up. It’s complainers like you that is the reason companies like Streetlinks are going to weed guys like you out of the business. You people did it to yourself and now your going to pay the piper. You guys just don’t get it. The lender and the buyers are the ones that took the beating because of all the jacked up appraisals you people did to pad your wallets. And now you complain because you want to put more risk on the lenders and home buyers.
