According to the FL appraisal board’s website application for AMC licensing, there doesn’t appear to be a requirement for a surety bond. That’s probably why they say they don’t have that information.

Believe me they have the information. Call them back and ask to speak to a supervisor, and cry the blues like I did.

I called the state board and they said they do not have that information.

I met this clown Brian Coester with a group of appraisers at a dinner he put together. After a five minute conversation between he and two other Appraisers I left and stopped doing business with them. Immediate impression was this guy is a used car salesmen. Pure bullshit artist. As far as the article saying “company started by an Appraiser”. Lmao. That’s a real joke. It was either his father or Brian that was stripped of his VA license. Can’t remember for sure which. But the Appraiser that turned in the piss poor appraisal was the one who trained me. They treated the job like a numbers game and had no clue what he was doing. Saw this coming 4 years ago. Surprised it took this long. After I had been doing business with them for about six months and caught him owing me just over 8,000. I collected my money and cut them off. Sadly most AMC’s aren’t much better. Hopefully all will be gone soon and we can get control of our fees again.
