I remember AMCs taking approx. 30-40% of the appraisal fee. I was not a part of that bc I was employed as a corporate review appraiser. Then Dodd Frank Act came out, making the AMCs pay reasonable fees. However, the AMCs continued to abuse the system. I suggest raising the AMCs license fees and systematically the AMC numbers will decrease :)!

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 Brent Johnson. That’s the point of my proof of concept. It’s not rocket science nor expensive to implement something like this in house. And it would allow the lender to charge the borrower much less for the appraisal as there’s no AMC stealing half the fee (and it is theft, make no mistake). And no reason to rip off the appraiser with the totally made up “tech fees” that are passed down the line.

Okay then, if quantifiable data points like locational, property type, ownership, licensing and the others aren’t enough to qualify a competent appraiser – then what exactly are the “qualified screeners” using for their appraiser selection decision – voodoo?

In reply to Chase Pursley. How do they know if an appraiser is competent? Underwriter approval. The underwriter should have the authority to kick or add appraisers from approval lists at will. With a tie in for loan repurchase downstream if that happens, removal as well. Something that is not happening today. The panel managers absolutely must have superior appraisal experience themselves as formerly practicing independent appraisers to make such a quality determination, there is no substitute.

Better yet, charge them a steep license fee plus force them to submit 85% of their net fees each month along with the names of appraisers they hired. The state board can then refund fees to the appraisers and keep more money for themselves. Think of state boards as AMC management companies (which was actually part of their job from the beginning). I would much rather pay my state a small kickback for protection than pay half of my fee to a skanky ask shakedown operation.
