Customer needs ~200 appraisals across USA

[Terrel L. Shields]

Not enough information. Are they real estate, on rented pads in parks, etc.

If personal property, I would gladly value them using the (formerly NADA) J. D. Powers appraisal methodology - $50 a pop for the printouts and $200 plus inspection time at $50/hr from my house. Be a nice 3-6 month gig, I'd think.

Why would someone pay half of the total fee quote to have you call six AMC's for bids?

Because I was the one who solved the problem for them. Let's see, 200 x 700 = $140,000. Let's say 10% variation in bid, so 1/2 of $14,000, or fee for arranging a solution would be $7,000.

Is an inspection going to be required?

Who would be the market participant for 200 units? My guess is a national grade investor.

If they are all tenant occupied, again a guess, an income approach to the entire portfolio would be easy to do.

I can probably get this done. Have them contact me.

Not even a thank you for your time, or further details about the project from the OP.

Is it supposed to be half of $140,000 = $70,000?

There's no half to the client who engages an AMC.

The AMC charges the client a fee of $x per appraisal, and then the AMC finds individual appraisers to do each order for as little as possible, and the AMC keeps the difference.

The AMC can offer mass-scale ordering such as for the kind of assignment the OP post referenced.

I was about to recommend you, Joker!

TC can inspect them all as a PDC. That no good turncoat that he is.

Manufactured homes are easy to appraise. They are just rectangles. Until they have $70,000 in solar panels, multiple additions or the result of several manifestations over 50 years.
