Taking the Appraisal Institute class on the URAR 3.6.

Per the teacher, the AMC section on fee disclosure is not required by the GESs. It's optional.

How convenient?
 
Why would that be a GSE requirement? Do you disclose your E&O premium, too? License cost? Rent? The force promoting the steep rise in the prevalence of AMCs in residential lending was legislated. Shouldn't that be the focus for a cure?

AMC fee / appraiser fee disclosure is at state level. Here in AZ there is a state law requiring the appraiser fee whem AMC is used.

Why would it hurt? Is there a law that prohibits the GESs to mandate this?

I'm all about transparency...just like the uad 3.6 should have a section to state the actual location the appraiser is located in...Certified in nc, but is physically located in New York.

They are the ones promoting saving borrowers money?

Full disclose....transparency? I never liked it when the AMCs on the LOE do not discuss the fee...Lil slimy....would hate for the borrower to find out how much we are making...

Nothing g to do with the uad 3.6...but

Truth in Lending (TIL) form for clearer, borrower-friendly information on final loan terms and costs, with lenders now responsible for its accuracy and delivery three business days before closing.


  • PDRs (which cost $200 on average), when used with ACE+ PDR, can save borrowers nearly $400 when compared to traditional appraisal reports (which cost $600 on average).

“Do you disclose your E&O premium, too?” Yes. Clients want a copy of my binder in the report. The binder has my fee.

Regarding the AMC fee, I went to AMC rehab and am AMC sober for 6 years now!
 
Pays to be besties in the breakfast club. These guys are thick as thieves.
