Intimidation....I will NOT be silenced

[George Hatch]

I doubt anyone has ever taken that "partner" rhetoric seriously.

And yes, by the time a lender is choosing between AMC vs direct engagement there is definitely a competition in motion and whichever side prevails in that competition is the winner.

Even if they choose an AMC, an independent appraiser is still supposed to be the one that ends up with the assignment. That’s why for their first decade of their existence, we were called partners.

The competition I was referring to was between which of the two the lender would directly contract with. It's the same thing appraisers are complaining about when they say the AMCs stole their business from them.

"Partner" implies parity. I never once had parity with any of my fee shops, employers or clients. I'm a vendor at most. I'm in business to sell the SR1/SR2 they want to buy, that decision being user-driven. Not appraiser-driven.

On the CG side there are a lot of my peers who only want to sell what they want to sell, not necessarily what their clients actually wants to buy. Some users require and some clients prefer the long form narrative that runs 120 or 150 pages for even the simple properties. Others don't need that much all the time; only when the appraisal problem gets complicated.
