In reply to Baggins. Any time I asked the mortgage company if they have panel appraisers directly, the answer was: no, we only work with AMCs. I guess this is the reality in my area, covering 12+ counties. I keep asking, meanwhile I am trying to feed my children and paying my bills.

In reply to Page. Exactly. This has become a discussion that borders on ridiculous. No. Appraising a 1200 sf house is not worth $2000. But if someone can gouge the client, go for it. 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.

I do it all the time and I get it. I got $2000 for driving 3 hours each way and the subject was just a standard 1200 square foot home. Why did I get $2k, because I asked for it and that’s what my time is worth for driving that far. in my area I get $625 flat rate at a minimum all the time. Stop being afraid of asking what your time is worth!!!

Statement of Cash Flows vs. Cash Flow Statement

Speaker: Wayne Spivak - President and Chief Financial Officer of SBA * Consulting LTD, Industry Writer, and Public Speaker

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to MC. Im not afraid. Im realistic. 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. Im not. I have clients that I have worked with for years that dont use AMCs. Frankly, I think $800 is high.

Comment on The New Con: Hybrids, Waivers & AMCs Threaten Public Trust by James

In reply to Niall Joyce. The fact that agents and lenders know there is an appraisal helps curtail fraud. So it is not surprising that most appraisals are at or above the contract price. Remove the appraiser and the appraisal and all hell will break loose.

In reply to MC. I learned a long time ago if you do not ask. You will not get. If you do not think your time is valuable. You will not ask. We pay a lot and put in a lot of time to become appraisers. I do not begrudge any other professions and their fees. Just like they get their fees it is my right to get my fees too. Call an attorney, realtor, electrician, hvac, plumber or appliance tech etc. they are not afraid of asking for their fees why should we?

You guys can believe it or not, and for the smart asses, I know the area because I lived there. I wouldn’t do work anywhere I didn’t have competence. btw, some other appraisers bid $4000 for this job because it was so rural according to the homeowners. I did leave out that they needed two types of values but my point here is too many of you are working for way too low of fees and you know who you are.

WE ALL miss the point. Appraisers do not have free market fee, because we are not on the free market. That is the problem. Reminder: the appraiser profession was created after the great depression to protect home owners from Sharks: the agents/brokers who bought low sold high, and from the mortgage companies. RE brokers were hated, but they are in selling business, and they recreated their profession, they sold/still do their profession: per current survey over 50% of the borrowers need to be ex

In reply to MC. You are correct however, all and I mean all appraisers will have to buy into it. I paid $800 or more for several appraisals twenty five years ago before I got into the business. There are four appraisers in my county but we have other appraisers come from other counties to appraise here. If I cannot get my fee starting fee of $750 I will not accept an engagement.
