Then allow the lender to have its own list of approved appraisers, set some criteria so no one decent is shut out, then simply work them into a regular rotation so you are just going down the list.Kingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06184990110961727404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-16836061938485654602009-06-23T15:15:25.919-07:002009-06-23T15:15:25.919-07:00As an appraiser in San Jose CA, I can say that thi...As an appraiser in San Jose CA, I can say that this is a horrible nightmare. It hurts not only me, but the consumer too. <br /><br />Appraisal management companies are charging consumers higher fees than previously, and paying appraisers less. <br /><br />My fee from the AMCs I have been dealing with are around 2/3 of my normal fee. <br /><br />This is on top of extra paper work that appraisers have been asked to do, in the 1004MC form, which is now mandatory on all residential appraisals, and takes at least 30-40 minutes to research and fill out.Vanfieldnoreply@blogger.com
