After the HVCC implemented new rules in the middle of 2009, many appraisers realized they had to work with appraisal management companies they had ignored or avoided before that. Before the rules changed in 2009, appraisers tended to stay away from appraisal management companies, or AMCs, and the bad reputations they had. However, with the change of rules, AMC's quickly became the major source of income for many appraisers. Since the change, appraisers have seen the rise and fall of a good number of AMCs. However, larger appraisal management companies that have outlasted their competition have the entire process mapped out so that they have the legal documents, such as contracts and the software that helps to keep track of the hundreds of appraisers across the nation. Just as with any legally binding contract, there are stipulations to watch out for. These stipulations can include clauses that benefit the appraisal management companies and leave the appraiser holding the financial bag.

It is true that more than 5,000 appraisers have closed their businesses down due to the lack of financial opportunity available to them. When the new HVCC rules were approved, most appraisers lost over half their income. It is also true that most appraisers, as an average, will sign up for between ten to 12 appraisal management companies, or AMCs. Other appraisers do not think they have the time, while others do not know where to find the appraisal management companies. While there are a great number of appraisers that do not want to work with an appraisal management company, there are appraisers that would work with them to enhance their incomes. The good news for appraisers that are looking for appraisal management companies is that there are more than 300 AMC's across the nation. This number is growing at a rapid rate.Appraisers that do sign up with appraisal management companies gain benefits, such as additional income, but they can be hard to find. An appraisal management company is not listed like other businesses, so it might take some digging and effort. The good news is that there are lists available online, some are free while there is a minimal fee for others. With an...more
