Appraisers APPRAISAL MANAGEMENT COMPANIES These days, more and more real estate appraisers find themselves doing business with appraisal management companies. The residential real estate appraiser who accepts appraisal assignments from mortgage brokers and lenders, and is not already dependent on an appraisal management company for some percentage of their business, is quickly becoming the exception in the appraisal profession. The most recent lender loss prevention and appraisal ordering guidelines indicate that the use of these management companies will continue to become more widespread for the foreseeable future. Appraisers who accept orders from such companies quickly learn that, while there are a few benefits to working with appraisal management companies, the disadvantages tend to outweigh the advantages. In most cases the appraiser working with an appraisal management company receives orders by fax, or online. The management company then begins to pester the appraiser with phone calls and e-mails for status updates, corrections or addendums. More often than not, the appraisal management company's staff is almost totally untrained in the appraisal process. At best, these companies act as an inefficient messaging system and simply pass notes back and forth between the loan officer and the appraiser. More often they distort the information they are supposed to be communicating, and frustrate everyone involved. In other words, they add another layer of red tape without improving the appraisal process for either the loan officer or the appraiser - and then they charge a fee for the confusion they cause.
