If the Conditional Acceptance feature is enabled by your lender, you can work together to solve scheduling/price conflicts before the order is accepted, to ensure that you can provide a reasonable time frame for the price you need. Please work with your lender if you would like to see the feature enabled and applied to orders with fixed pricing or a date required.
If an order is eligible for conditional acceptance, a pencil icon appears next to either the Price field or Date Required field. Click on the pencil icon to Edit Price and/or Edit Date.
Enter a new price or date required and then click Accept to send the conditional acceptance notification to the lender for approval.
When you click Accept, you will receive a prompt stating that the order will be reassigned if the lender rejects the proposed changes. You can confirm the proposed changes and the request will be sent to the lender.
If the lender accepts the new terms, Appraisal Firewall will send an approval email to the email address entered on your profile, so you know it is appropriate to proceed with working on the order. If the new terms are rejected, you will be sent an email informing you that the conditions were declined, and the order reassigned to another appraiser.
Reminders:
- The Conditional Acceptance feature must be enabled by your lender before you can negotiate price and turn time prior to order acceptance.
- When Conditional Acceptance is enabled by your lender, you can conditionally accept orders that have fixed pricing, a date required entered, or both.
- If Conditional Acceptance terms are declined by a lender, the order is automatically reassigned to another appraiser and is taken out of your order list.
- You cannot work on orders in a Conditional Acceptance status within the system. Conditions must be approved prior to work being performed on the order.
