It is hard to know, in today’s climate, who the appraiser is for your property. The changes in the industry have rendered meaningless the trust and relationships built up by competent and professional appraisers over the years.

The requirement of the use of an appraisal management company for the majority of conventional and government backed loans has created a lottery system for appraisers. If it is your turn on the list, yippee!, you’ll get that appraisal order.

So, for those appraisers out there who have worked at doing business the right way, and building trust and relationships with your clients…well, thanks for your service.

Now get in line.
