2012 AMC Resource Guide Now Available

“I purchased the AMC directory last week and am very happy. I signed up for 4 companies and already received two orders.” – Diane F.

Hi all,
I removed deadbeat AMCs and removed all the companies that have gone out of business, lowered the number of AMCs to under 300 – no need to waste your time applying to companies that don’t send work, and added some new clients. I updated my list so that the top 45 companies are the ones that send me over 95% of all my AMC work. I also updated the marketing information, tips and advice on my best techniques for getting more business and making more money in 2012. ~ Bryan Knowlton

Do you want free updates to my Appraisal Management Company Directory – for life?

I have a few copies left and will be changing my policy on getting free updates for life starting in 2012.

The time involved updating the list and making sure it is the best list around, I just can’t afford to offer free updates for life on the new 2012 AMC directory.

But what I will do, if you act NOW is to send you free updates for life (or for as long as the directory is published! I have no plans of stopping!)

The only way to do that is to order one of my last remaining copies of the book or the 2011 appraisal management company directory E-Version.

That way you will get the free updates for life. I was so swamped this year with appraisal work that I had to delay updating it, but will definitely have it completed by the end of this month.

I will be sending annual free updates in PDF format to all purchasers of the 2011 AMC Directory.

Thanks again for all your support. Remember, this is a VERY limited time offer. It will expire on 01/31/2012.

So get shopping and make sure you get free updates for life. Click here to order a copy of my Appraisal Management Company Directory.

Good Afternoon Bryan,

Have a great day,

Making Appriasal Management Companies Pay

Making AMCs Pay Up
By David Brauner, Editor
(reprinted with permission from WorkingRE.com)

To most appraisers this story is familiar: “I have been working with an AMC who shall remain nameless,” says Vrej Avedissian. “Having accepted a few assignments from them and dealing with their constant emails and phone calls regarding the status of each report, which borders on harassment, when it comes time to pay, it is a very different story. My contract with them states 30 days net but it has taken me in excess of 60 days to receive payments for my work. Is there a governing body or watchdog where an appraiser like me can file a complaint regarding late payment or non-payment?”

In certain states, a civil action may be all that someone in a scenario like Avedissian can pursue, unless the delay in payment can be tied to coercion under a state’s appraisal independence law or in states where appraiser management company (AMC) regulation demands prompt payment for appraisers. In states where AMC regulation has been enacted and where “prompt payment” language made it into the final bill, appraisers do have recourse. As of this writing the states with “prompt pay” provisions in their AMC law include: AZ, CT, MD, MO, MT, NM, OK, OR, TN, MS.

On Friday employees were notified the company was out of business and insolvent.

They were told they would be paid later. [CEO] Aman [Makkar] told them at lunch they will get paid next week, and they won’t

Appraiser Loft has been known by appraisers for a long time now as not being expediant when paying their invoices. I have had numerous appraisers call and ask me how they should go about collecting appraisal fees from Appraiser Loft.
