In reply to Dave. That’s more of a job for Mr Jeremy Bagott, popular appraiser article writer. You can find him on twitter and hopefully the blogs here will catch up with a few more of his articles. That’s all he does, deep dives and informational disclosures. I’m a part timer these days.

In reply to Dave. That’s if they read the report into the addendum where it is listed. And if it doesn’t fully disclose Appraiser -$350, AMC – $750 then most don’t put two and two together. But, most states in the US have no fee disclosure requirements of any kind and realistically the fees need to be disclosed separately on the Settlement Statement to plainly spell it out.

Are there any concerns about USPAP report and communication rules to stating what houses you have complete appraisal work on and your client lists? Also not every AMC discloses what they make each file. Class Valuation does not disclose this information. Frisco and Solidifi are the only ones that I work with that do. Any advise?

In reply to Seneca. The Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines clearly state that the AMC is an agent of the bank/lender. And, the bank/lender is responsible for ensuring any 3rd party vendor they use for ordering appraisals complies with all federal laws. The AMC sets the fee to charge to the consumer and supplies a TRID that informs the lender what to disclose in the Good Faith Estimate.

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 AppraisersBlogs Team. Blogs Team, Technically isn’t the lender overcharging the consumer? Aren’t they the ones collecting the fee? Aren’t they the ones contracting an AMC to do appraiser compliance, review & other clerical stuff instead of having their own department? How is it different than a business contracting a janitorial/maintenance company instead of having their own.

Baggins – you’re usually pretty thorough. Remember Dodd Frank. It will take years to bypass the AMCs if they are still in business at the end of 2024. kudos to the profession for jumping on this band wagon. Most all established appraiser’s have experienced getting offers at half or less than a year ago and now realize it is systemic and very possibly organized!

In reply to Seneca. The analogy is flawed. With amc’s, cost savings for reduced cost of appraisal services are not returned to the consumer. Rather what should have been cost savings for the consumer are instead pocketed by the amc in secret, neither the consumer nor the appraiser knows what the amc secret fee rake is. Defined in existing law as a junk fee or unearned fee billing scheme.

In reply to Spencer Paul. If appraisers refused to offer their services through amc’s, and instead made themselves available to lenders directly with a clear message they do not work for amc’s, there is a higher probability that lenders would assign the work to appraisers directly instead. Lenders, mortgage wholesalers, have options to send to either an amc or via direct panel appraisers.

For those that this applies to I support the effort, but with most states not requiring the disclosure of the AMC fee in the report most will have no idea of what the borrower is paying. Purposely made difficult to hide the crime. On a side note, the new game in town is for direct lenders (non AMC’s) to bid work out and assign at a rate that is much lower than quoted to the borrower.

In reply to Dave. Yes, but just because you have knowledge does not mean you have context to why it is wrong. There is not reason to have an AMC. They have been proven to show they don’t provide a service. They run the reports through the same CU, UDCP, etc that the client’s UW already run it through. They are nothing more than middle men charging the borrower nonsensical fees.
