Knoxville folks, I've never heard of these guys, have you all? I do very little AMC work thus far in my almost 16 year career. This is pathetic. Appraisers in Florida are being paid $175 for full URAR's by most AMC's. Sad. Hope it isn't coming to TN. In Murfreesboro, they are trying and getting away at $210, from what I've been told.
Here is an excerpt followed by a link. I had never heard of them.
""""RE: Appraisal Pricing
Our company has enjoyed working with local real estate appraisers for many years. We hope that you have enjoyed our respect for you and the profession. As banking industry is facing one of the most difficult periods in many years there is increased pressure on pricing, performance, and quality of wotk in general. We know gas prices and the current real estate market is putting pressure on all of you, however, we are facing the realty that we must have more competitive pricing from you. Please email ****** with the lowest fee you are able to complete the following work for. Quality of work cannot be compromised and rest assured that we will also be lowering our fees to the lender
Cordially,
Senior Vice President." """"
