IMO, this whole issue pits the AMC’s financial well-being(survival) against the financial benefits of being a mortgage lending appraiser. It’s not just separating out the appraisal fee cost from the total $ collected by the AMC. The separating out the appraisal fee will lower the profits(income) of the AMC. We all know there are lenders out there that do NOT use AMCs to “order or manage their appraisal process” These non-AMC lenders are operating without these issues.

The low fees in my opinion are mostly the individual appraiser’s own fault for excepting the low fees to begin with. My appraisal fees have gone up over the past 5 to 10 years just as all costs have. I have a standard appraisal fee that I accept for my assignments based on the property type, location and complexity of any and I generally never have an issue receiving the fee that I want and deserve for the assignment.

It is a sign of the times that I spent some time thinking about whether the title of my post would offend some people, as sexist or worse. I briefly considering expanding the title to "Sugar Daddies and Molasses Mommies", but that just sounds awkward, or even replacing the words with something gender neutral, like "Glucose Guardians", but very quickly passed on the idea, deciding to stay with my initial title.

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 Maria. and THAT is why ALL appraisers must read and comprehend all agreements they sign. Including and especially vendor agreements. My fee is no secret, it is included within the report-and that is what all appraisers should do. Disclose within the appraisal, and inform borrowers of where to look for it!

Selling a business is a monumental milestone, one that’s often met with a mix of emotions. It’s not merely a financial transaction but a profound journey that can trigger a whirlwind of feelings, from excitement and relief to anxiety and uncertainty. While the focus in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) tends to be on the numbers, it’s crucial to recognize the human aspect of this process.

Being that they’re already angry over a $600-$800 “appraisal fee”, I’m now telling EVERY person I meet at an appraisal inspection, if an AMC is involved, that I only get 25% to 50% of what they were charged for the appraisal. I also tell them that there could be many other fees involved that have nothing to do with the appraisal.

In reply to Maria. A company can not force a person to behave in a deceptive fraudulent manner. If people accept such terms, that is what makes them co conspirators. Be honest about your fee with borrowers or decline the assignment. Amc’s have no recourse to penalize appraisers outside of internal approval and volume considerations, because the request to deceive borrowers is a legally unenforceable issue.

For myself, I have lost 6 bids in the past 2 months, not the lowest fees, but the same as I made 20+ years ago, circa $350 to $400. Our state customary fees are higher than that per 2 surveys I’ve viewed, not counting AMC work. I’ve tried bidding $300 and have still been turned down.

Nothing to see here folks. Bottom line: After 15 YEARS appraisers are to ignorant to fix what dock workers fixed in 1.5 days (nearly doubling their salaries by going on strike). Why should we trust appraisers to value real estate when they cannot assess the proper value of their own time? Ask yourselves that one simple question.
