hausdok Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 HeraldNet, the online version of the Everett, Washington Daily Herald newspaper, has an interesting article about a VA appraiser who was sued by a buyer when a roof went bad on a home he'd appraised. In this case, the court held that the appraiser had a 'duty of care' to the client but did not hold the appraiser liable, because the buyer had already known about the bad roof.

Brandon Whitmore Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 This could be good news for us. More appraisers may place a contingency requirement that the home must be inspected as part of the home purchasing process. I would think this would help limit their liability.
