Alternately as the Foundation has apparently declined funding form the ASC why not set up a process for lenders to access Appraisers via radius proximity to zip code. Easily eliminate the middle man. AMC’s add little value and increase cost to the consumer.

It started with the words like “you were recommended” and then it was asking for $30.00 for some kind of advertising nationwide. I threw the letter in the garbage as I knew it was a scam.

Maybe the new solicitation is from the same people.

Unfortunately Lori, even when companies do put a face or a name to their services (Brian Coaster / Coaster VMS), there are those appraisers who ignore the reality of the AMC model, and push their business into the murky waters all in the name of profit before morals.

Its understood, that out of necessity many must play along (hopefully temporarily) before finding premium clients, but to those who CHOOSE to dance with the AMCs beyond a stable of good clients, don’t expect much comfort from others when your toes get stepped on.

Dancing solo.

Seek the truth.
