It’s frustrating but not surprising to see the ARCC’s report highlighting how some AMCs are taking up to 84% of the appraisal fee. This isn’t just unfair to us as appraisers but also to consumers who are being overcharged without seeing any real benefit.

The real enemy of appraisers, and appraisal credibility. I’m not criticizing Josh and everyone’s efforts in that area. Just pointing out expectations may exceed realistic potential results. PS literally EVERY group still underestimates the influence of MISMO.

With rates dropping appraisers have the power to hold the housing market by the throat. The difference between dock workers and appraisers off course being that dock workers have billiards. Dock workers lost 2 days work to reap a 66% pay increase!

Such behavior is incredibly damaging to the appraisal profession as a whole. Appraisers are meant to provide objective, unbiased assessments, not get drawn into partisan political squabbles. When we start making unfounded personal attacks and bringing political ideology into our work, it undermines public trust in the entire field.

The amc trade groups argument was rich; Appraisers will have unnecessary additional work by attaching invoices to appraisals, and this is an administrative headache for the amc’s. Newsflash; It’s more work for the appraiser to have to print out twice in order to separate the invoice from the report.

The kick in the pants will be if amc appraisers are rewarded for all these years of complicit knowing participation in consumer fraud and get fee raises for their sub par amc work. Force rotational assignment nationally for all appraiser panels. I’m with PDM on this one; a total dismantling of the amc industry.

In reply to Retired Appraiser. Appraisers who have dual licenses don’t need AMC’S. As a Real Estate Broker owner and Certified Res Appraiser I really like Inherited Homes for estate appraisal work.

The appraisers involved had many competency issues. Too bad the home owners were denied access to three out of four ethical appraisers, whom refuse to work with amc’s because of the discount compensation and unethical business dealings so common with the amc companies. Your tax dollars hard at work.

Their lack of oversight allowed workarounds and market capture in more than just the valuation space too, they used the surplus funds taken from the appraisal industry to enter into several other industries related to mortgage lending as well.

AN APPRAISAL FAIRYTALE – The purpose of the AMC was an effort to separate the “bad” appraiser from the lily white mortgage brokers. It was just another situation and as always it was the bad appraisers fault. Appraisers were being told, in a suttle way of course, to not complain or they would get the axe.

In reply to Frustrated Appraiser. It’s really an easy process and strikes fear in a management company, lender or escrow company should the appraiser lock up a loan process due to an unpaid appraisal. Years ago I would sometimes extend credit to homeowners who claimed they did not have the money to pay for the appraisal upfront.

After billions of consumer dollars in over-charging and loss of income to appraisers, this could have easily been discovered had the appraiser been allowed to include an invoice with the appraisal or disclosed the cost in the context of the report. Yet, someone thinks it’s a good idea to put them in charge of appraisers?
