During that time, and I can’t remember where I saw it, but there was a video of a surgeon talking about them and complaining about being called a “vendor” He said, “I’m not a g*d-d*mned vendor, I’m a surgeon!” I remember the guy I was working with at that time saying that it would never happen to us.

In reply to Jason Jakway. I thought I explained it as clearly as possible. ValueLinked and Encompass are “order management” software that banks, lenders and AMCs use. Well, Encompass is more than that and basically LOS software. AppraisalPort, Reggora, etc allow lenders to bypass the AMC model and order directly from appraisers without the middleman.

In reply to Chase Pursley. Sorry, Chase, but you’re just wrong about this. I know this for a fact because I used to be the chief appraiser of a regional bank and we as a bank could choose to use any of these platforms. For example, we could choose to utilize Appraisal scope (or similar), which is used by many appraisal management companies. OR, we could choose to use mercury network.

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. Don’t waste your time attempting to educate them, hand them a sheet with the entire process and times involved. If you do AMC work note that 60% of the fee goes to your pimp.

In reply to Joseph. Criminal impersonation. To defraud or mislead another person by using a fictitious identity or creating a false sense of authority or reliability. To pretend to have a specific license, when one does not have that license. Depending on the harm and risk imposed is typically a high level misdemeanor to a low level felony. NAR should be informed if their members are working with amc’s whom tell agents to misrepresent themselves as appraisers.
