Got a metaphorical middle finger from my biggest client today.

They sent an update email with the new 3.6 fees stating,

"We have listened to the feedback from our appraisers and our clients. Our 3.6 Fees will be increasing to $545 (up from $495). If you do not agree to the new fee, please let us know that you would like to be removed from the panel."

Total is absolutely botching this 3.6 rollout

I'm working on 2 3.6 orders at the moment. I have the highest tier of Total with support and everything. This software is not ready and I can't get anyone on the phone to help. I'm always 15-20 in their phone queue with an hour+ wait time. Just a few things I've noticed:

UAD errors that I can't get around. These are mistaken errors. Like it's giving me an error beucase it doesn't want to see 0% total gross adjustments and won't let me override it.

Doesn't have a spot for the report Due Date

Currently not able to create an invoice. Support said this feature was "under construction".

What else can we add to the list?

If I'm expecting a control-heavy set champs...

Do I bring in Hyper Aggro? Isn't aggro the only thing that can really beat Green item control, Retro device, and circle of life?

Is Today the Day? (UAD 3.6)

Up until now, I haven't been offered a 3.6 order. Today, I was offered and accepted two! I'm sure it will get better once I get a good templates, but the first time through this form is brutal! How many of you have completed a 3.6 yet?

Request - Card Image Files?

Is there somewhere that has a good source to download the image files for all of the new set? Instead of going to Dreamborn and manually copying each image, is there a website that have a button to download all card images?

Question for Appraisers who have Office Admins/Assitants

Hey everyone, I'm at the point in my business where I need some help. I'm CRA and doing about 80% AMC work, 10% direct bank work, and 10% private work. I logged 560 orders last year as a sole proprietor and on pace for about 600 this year. Its too much and I find myself needing help.

To those of you who have office admins, what are their responsibilities and what is the pay structure like? Is it 40/hr full-time or commission based on orders completed? Do they help with report prep, scheduling, new client sign-ups, phone calls and emails? I'm looking for some guidance because I'm not sure how to structure the actual work responsibilities. Also, what type of person do you find best fits this job? Is it a trainee, Realtor, former secretary, college student, or anyone else?

Thanks in advance.

I know you guys are full of opinions, and I'm looking for them this time. I'm measuring a home that has a detached garage with a finished room and bathroom above the garage. The finished area is about 410 sf. It is an open 20x16 room with a bathroom and a closet. I'm labelling it as a detached office, but the Realtor and owner insist that it be called an Apartment. I'm not sure if there are rules around this, but I'm under the impression that an apartment would need some sort of kitchen or food prep area. What are your opinions?
