In reply to MC. And maybe thats the reason they are always trying to find alternatives to appraisers. when we start demanding fees that frankly I dont think were worth we are forcing the industry to seek alternative less costly methods.

Take advantage of the homeowner because he chooses to travel 6 hours to do an appraisal. How does anyone really even know a market thats 3 hours away? I dont walk out the door for less than $750.
