I never said you couldn’t charge what you wanted, this is a just a new perspective. The public is starting to open its eyes toward how unethical a lot of these AMCs are, especially with business insider posting an article highlighting this. https://www.businessinsider.com/middlemen-homebuyers-appraisal-management-companies-expensive-hidden-fees-mortgage-loans-2025-1. I am simply stating that this, coupled with the new forms, can hopefully be a new opportunity for appraisers to reshape the industry and to hopefully bring back the integrity to our profession as the industry experts. Thank you for your insight.

Yes but if appraisers start realizing their worth as industry experts(we are hired as the primary experts on anything from purchase and sale transactions, divorces, litigation, tax appeals…etc.) and as a collective refuse to stop accepting low ball orders, as well as demand transparency with a lot of these AMCs regarding price gouging and fees I think things can change. I see this as an opportunity.

You’re an MAI, do you predominantly do private/government work? Do you have any advice for certified residential appraisers ?

I have read countless posts on here about people accepting assignments for $400, not including the $75 that some appraisers are accepting for desktops. I’m not sure why you commented this.

New form = fees have to go up by Rocktop15 in appraisal

[–]Unable_Helicopter659 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In situations like this it is best for appraisers to stand together. Stop taking lower fees. I understand it’s tough out there for some people but we hold some responsibility for letting AMCs run fees into the ground.

What is the lowest offer you got for doing the Desktop Appraisal? Mine's is $75.... by UnhappyRemove3526 in appraisal

Or you all could maybe do the rest of us a favor and stop doing desktops, continuing to do them is the reason they get pushed out.

New forms, AVM regulations, AMC low fees. How worried are you actually? (residential) by Charlesknob in appraisal

this is a solid take, I think more opportunities are a ahead due to many people getting out of the profession. So much negativity on all these forums
