I am wondering what others think one should do with this siuation.

I reviewed an appraisal report and 23% of the 68 pages are missing.

The appraisal report was not necessarly delivered with the pages missing, but they do not exist with the copy I have.

I called the appraiser and asked if the missing pages could be forwarded to me or another full copy of the report ( will pay expense to do this).

Was told no problem. That has been 3 weeks, 4 phone calls ago, and now feel like the run around is occuring.

The Loan Officer may have misplaced them or removed them from the report in hand. I cannot tell much about this report without the missing pages.

What can I do, if anything, to get these pages?

Not knowing which pages they are, I would think the following could be optins:

1. Do the review based on what you DO have and add a comment to the effect that the report was incomplete

2. Tell your client the report is short pages and ask them to supply them

My plan of action would be to tell my client that the appraisal report is incomplete and that there is insufficient data to arrive at an opinion as to the adequacy, completeness, and appropriateness of the professional's work. Any opinion results you provide will be unacceptable as the assumptions required to do so are exorbitant.

What's the scope of the review? Just USPAP and client requirements compliance? You can complete a review of the material you have, provided there's enough of it present to form an opinion of the appraiser's work or a portion of his work. (SR-3)

Be sure to state in the report that pages 1-XX of a 68 page report were furnished, and that pages XX to YY were not provided. (See also SR3-1(d) )

If it were my report, I'd invite you either to get the complete report from my client, or to request that my client authorize me (in writing) to furnish it to you. (Ethics rule, confidentiality section).

Good example of confidentiality = obstruction,.....never mind cooperating with all the information needed in order to render a meaningful opinion in review. Half ass-ed information = half ass-ed review, but gosh that can be corrected with an extraordinary assumption. Who needs the whole report to give an opinion as to whether is is complete and therefore replete with supported and credible results?

Get the rest of the report and then do the review. Screw this fast-track short-cut crap. Just remember if you don't know the market, watch your second guessing of choice of comps, market analysis and adjustments unless the thing is self contained, in which case you definitely need the whole thing. 23% missing means you are doing a 77% review at most.
