In reply to Mike Ford on Facebook. The solutions are so simple. The corruption so obvious. Amc’s, the long arm of predatory lending. In addition to what you said; Fair and balanced rotational distribution of appraisal orders to all appraisers on the approval panel. At similar fees as defined by fee surveys which do not include amc fees. If an appraiser is approved on an appraiser panel, they should get fair working opportunity.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

In reply to LS. Well of course there are incentives like that. If they even need to try. The automation instantly rewards the lowest priced appraisers with the majority workload. That’s how one firm ends up with thousands of orders and nobody else gets anything. Auto accept software was built to assist this effort. Consumers never save a penny.

The truth is AMCs are looking for the cheapest always. Sometimes I test the theory with providing a super cheap quote on a property that surely needs a lot of time to dissect. Sure enough, I get the job and always regret it. I only do this maybe twice a year. I believe AMCs are giving monetary incentives to their appraiser hunters when they can score the cheapest appraisal fee.
