Just wanted to know if everyone is really busy or are you just tired of posting on the forum? How's business and what's going on will all of you?
 
Scott, i kind of stopped posting because everyone else did!
Im staying busy, still doing a lot of foreclosure work, plus a lot of FHA refis.

I got busy after getting back of vacation back in Jan. and I haven't been able to ketch up. Most of my work is FHA too with a few REOs mixed in as well as a few conventional appraisals.
 
busy busy. I've actually started doing a few more conventional re-fi's lately (I thought that they had dissappeared for a while). Still doing a lot of FHA's, a few REO, and an occassional drive-by or field review.

I figured you must have been busy seen as though you havent called me in over 6 months.

Scott doing OK here, considering how high our unemployment is. I would be doing great, but lost a client that has paid me $15,000 to $50,000 a year over the last 8 or so years to an Appraisal Management Company. They called me up and told me client wanted me on their preferred appraiser list. I haven't called them back. Been over a month. After reading posts regarding them, they are an *** of an AMC.
 
Willie, who is the AMC. I provide reports for two AMC's and im sure that both Scott and Thern do as well. One of them pays me a full fee, (other is $10 less than full fee) doesnt hassle me, and gives me a decent amount of time to complete the report. That same AMC have been lambasted on the forum by a couple of people who claim them to be garbage and only pay $190 per 1004.
Im sure you gave us a clue when you said "an *** of an AMC" but im not smart enough to work it out!

The rep said something about $200 when I'm used to $350, and that was about all I needed to hear.
 
yeah, $200 sucks and is not worth your time. I lost a good client last year, they went with LSI, i didnt even bother. That client had been with me since 2003, their corporate office mandated that they use an AMC.
 
Busy lately

There was a slow down for me about a month ago, but it has picked up this month with the low interest rates.
