I finally found or got found and am now doing appraisals with a good split. I work for a company on the Front Range in Colorado and I do thier work assignments over a 6 county area on the Western Slope(over the Continental Divide). The people at the main office are very supportive and I beleive this to be a good oppertunity for both parties.
I work out of my home where appraisal requests are faxed over from the main office (120 miles away). I have now preformed about 10 appraisals, first just the inspections and records research, comps etc. The senior appraisers in the main office finish the complete appraisals.
Last week I did my first from beginning to end, even delivered it to the lender! The great support from the main office made this possible.
I see a patern of appraisal request comming in, that when I call the owners to make an appointment they are not ready or feel the are getting "pushed" by the mortage compinies. I have to re-schedule my time and fell at a loose that a potential appraisal assignment was lost.
Is thie the "norm' for the proffession?
