In reply to kevin. Of course the site does not work. There was so much industry pressure the effort was shut down from the top down. Appraisal Advisor was the idea of the son of the founder of Alamode, Biggers. He wanted to provide a truly useful tool to help appraisers because it was obvious then how exploitative the amc industry was becoming. Right when the site went live within a month or so, there must have been so much pressure that they shut the effort down.

Wow, a lot of unneeded hostility. Now back to the Fee thing. If you total the amounts of the 33 fee examples in the provided document, the total paid out by lenders (actually borrowers) is $37,243. Of that, the AMCs received $21,505.93 (57.7%). The appraisers received a mere $14,601.87 (39.2%). So… $37,243 is only 33 appraisals. ARCC stated this is only the tip of the iceberg with regard to the data collected, representing about 10% of that received.
