Comment on AMCs Deceptive Fee Skimming Exposed in Lawsuit by CL

Appraisers Blog

In reply to Baggins. I’ve had so many “cancellation” notices, I’ve lost count. AMCs are just a crooked racket, IMO. Another note is the number of agents/homeowners who state – you mean they’ve just now ordered it? It was requested 2-3 weeks ago. Puts a lot of pressure on us then – low fee plus “rush” jobs.

In reply to Baggins. We have corrupt “gold diggers” from both sides of the political parties, but as a conservative, I hope there are fewer on the right, lol. Perhaps or perhaps not, but I have no problem with DOGE weeding them all out. I would, however, like to see some arrests or consequences – from either party.
