Bond Company for CoesterVMS

Bonding Company Info for CoesterVMS for if You Are Owed Money

…contact information for the bonding company…

Appraisers, if any of you are owed money for unpaid appraisals from CoesterVMS, you might want to read and save this message.

However, first…often, bonding companies require a Superior Court judgement in writing before they will pay up. So you may need to follow that process in your state. You will need to have invoices for all unpaid reports which document the property address, and report file number, plus lender name if known.

A peer appraiser has provided me the name and contact information for the bonding company as filed with the CoesterVMS AMC registration in WA State. I don’t know if this bonding company is the same one used in other states. Contact your state first.

But if you are owed money, you might contact this company if unable to find out which bonding company is on record in your state, based on this message from the appraiser:

“As far as Coester Valuation – I was able to locate their bond for the state of Washington. The company that paid me is CNA Surety, 333 S. Wabash, 441, Chicago, IL 60604. To file a claim go to claims@cnasurety.com

    Coester’s website is down. I wouldn’t count on anyone getting paid! I was told he filed for bankruptcy.

    This Pacific Ocean fronting house was on the market for $11,800,000 last year, and they offer $340 with a 5 day turn time. I dare anyone to disclose a more blatantly insulting appraisal offer. Just think of the theft involved if the borrower is paying 2, 3, 4, or $10,000.
    Seek the truth.

    Maryland issued a judgment lien for unpaid taxes of $43,000 in November. This blog covered his criminal activities, his engagements in fraud, his lies, Skapinetz case against him, the child abuse & domestic violence cases, etc. My question is why would any appraiser continue to work and be associated with this criminal? Good luck getting paid!

    And why aren’t Appraisers across the country who are holding bad checks, checks that were never honored, returned for insufficient funds, etc etc not filing criminal charges for Coester knowingly writing a bad check ??

      Agreed.  It’s a stretch to think that appraisers foolish enough to work with amc’s in the first place would be well equipped to stand against them in the end.

      The first step for all appraisers defrauded by amc’s, now and in the future, should be that their first letter is to the state regulatory offices, demanding an exponential cost and coverage increase pertaining to amc bonds and surety.
