Most homeowners confuse appraisers with surveyors. In reply to Joseph. ALL homeowners assume that they are paying you only for the amount of time that they see you. Don’t waste your time attempting to educate them, hand them a sheet with the entire process and times involved.

I know with certainty that none of my clients would pay $800 for a standard appraisal. Maybe youre in an area where there is a limited pool of appraisers. In reply to MC. Im not afraid. Im realistic. I have clients that I have worked with for years that dont use AMCs. Frankly, I think $800 is high.

Appraising a 1200 sf house is not worth $2000. Take advantage of the homeowner because he chooses to travel 6 hours to do an appraisal. In reply to Page. This has become a discussion that borders on ridiculous. But if someone can gouge the client, go for it. How does anyone really even know a market thats 3 hours away?

The next critical step is to compel FHFA and GSEs to thoroughly review and clean up the blatantly agenda-driven research on appraisal bias they’ve been aggressively pushing for the past 4 years, and retract the flawed and misleading studies, reports and papers that have done so much to unfairly criticized an entire industry and provide cover (..)

So many appraisers told us to just accept the unfairness and bias being shoved down our throats 3-4 years ago. If you were one of those appraisers, I hope it comes back to bite you in the a**. Not only that, they said WE were the biased and racist ones.
