Appraisers Blog

Thanks for the heads up. I just called their number 888-587-0805 to get my account deleted from their portal. I haven’t gotten a single order since signing up. And I don’t want to leave my account sitting there to get billed for any single order I might get in the future. They just about had an aneurism. The guy from India answering my phone during business hours tried to argue with me about it and convince me… I told them why.

No problem, just add $25 to each appraisal as bank required technical fee. You may end up making more money. It is basically a “cost of goods” with the $5 extra dollars being your processing fee. Banks should understand since their lending rates generally go up with the FED rises as their costs rise. Standard business practice to protect margins.

In reply to Joseph. Most homeowners confuse appraisers with surveyors. ALL homeowners assume that they are paying you only for the amount of time that they see you.
