I’ve known the AMC’s were crooks the minute they were granted immunity from the appraisal as the appraiser signs it but does not own it. Now I’m seeing bidding on appraisals is a real joke! I asked a AMC what is the bottom dollar and was told as low as $250 for a appraisal I was getting paid $600 on in less then 2 years of COVID-19.

In reply to Krystal K. I do understand that, at times, competency can be a problem when someone has a complaint, but in my experience with the general public, agents, loan officers, and other non-appraisers, many many have no idea what we do or what the process entails. I’ve had people get upset because I stayed within their neighborhood/subdivision, with plenty of sales, and they preferred I go to higher priced neighborhoods… They said, “Of course there are plenty of sales!

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

When it comes to measuring, viewing, stating facts I know about a property; I trust me before anyone else. I don’t trust Realtors to correctly measure and report (they use to but now rely on the assessors), assessors (they don’t measure either), blue prints – many areas that shouldn’t be counted are. If you all go along with this, you’d be opening yourself up for a lawsuit and/or complaint.

In reply to Howard Wettreich. Just follow the lobbyists to your state representatives and see what kind of money we are up against. I’m that’s what it is all about, money. They have it in a very organized manor with representation. We do not. This is why it’s much harder to get things to be right with our laws and institutions. The people that make the law may or may not ask the right questions, but they definitely don’t ask the right people.

Russell give us a break, he spent too much time, calling up people and asking for their hearsay opinions on unverified data. Use the raw data you have and stop relying on unattributed opinions that are rarely based in fact, but based on peoples memories. That is not what we get paid to do. Take the raw data analyze it and don’t take third-party hearsay, bad habit!

In reply to jaydee. I’ve been saying the same thing for years. One has to wonder how someone can actually pass the appraisal exam for certification yet not have the common sense to understand they are destroying their very livelihood. How they can’t see that is so frustrating. Well, I’ll be long gone by the time it catches up with them and then they will have no assignments as they will have driven themselves out of business.

Everyone has been complaining about AMC’s for the last 20+years. What’s changed? NOTHING. WHY? We’re our own worst enemy. STOP working for the AMC’s like they did in Hawaii. The AMC’s buckled and started paying a decent fee. We don’t, won’t why? Because there are offices/appraisers who think: Let them stop working for them, I’ll get all their business for $300 a pop or less.

In reply to Howard Wettreich. The AMC’s are doing what they were designed to do; manage the appraisal profession…we as appraisers do not like it but are powerless to do anything about it. Do you think for one minute if Mr Cuomo or someone like him wanted to start a “plumbers management company”, or PMC, or “electricians management company”, or EMC it would ever fly?
