First of all, there is no reason we, as appraisers, should be subjected to sending appraisal reports through such portals as Appraisal Port or even Lighthouse. I know for a fact that my signature has been removed on more than one occassion. In each case the lender has contacted me to clarify and re-varify the information provided. In one case the individual who had removed my signature had actually put in 2 different value amounts in the report, to which neither were accurate. When the lender called they were furious that this had happened.  If we, as appraisers, have to be subjected to such stringent laws and regulations, then why are the 3rd party companies allowed to change our information and put my license at risk. They should be held to as high of standards as we are or should not be in business at all.
