Okay, thanks for responding!
You proved my point - most Fee shops offered something to the appraiser -

What I proved is that I ran a fee shop that was equitable. That has ABSOLUTELY ZERO correlation with any other fee shop. Ever heard of a non-sequitur?

I've also run AMC's that appraisers were very happy to work with.

Ever noticed that 'bad' fee shops are run by bad people (appraisers) and bad AMC's are run by bad people (mostly appraisers). See the connection? It's not the model that makes something bad - bundled fees or no. It's the folks running the company. The folks at Class and Solidifi and CC and (enter name) believe its ok to maximize profits at the expense of the appraiser. That is a bad model - not because its a bundled fee, but because they do not treat appraisers as business partners.

Get over the 'bundled fees' nonsense - a company is good or bad because of the folks that run them.

The majority of fee shops have the same things in common yet you deny they do with no proof about it whatsoever.
While some appraiser might be happy to work with certain AMCs;, the AMCs typically do not offer the benefit of the fee shops that you pretend do not exist out of your and my experience and then nearly everyone else's experience.

You are maddening to engage with, every time I do I ask why I got sucked in to it. Have a nice weekend, my bad for getting involved.

The fee shop's didn't have seperation of fees on invoices or HUD 1.

If we collected $300.00 the invoice was $300.00 even though we paid $150.00 to $175.00 to our appraisers. So the Bundled Fee never changed. If you have appraisers on a fee split in house or AMC the Invoice and money collected is in one check. The borrower doesn't care.

No differences in Real Estate Sales and
if a seller paid us a $10,000 commission through escrow if the agent was on a 70% split we wrote that agent the $7,000.00 check. The sellers never knew how much our split was with their agent.

Hopefully you glean a bit of what I feel when engaging with you. You aren't (usually) mean - or I wouldn't engage you. You are, however, extremely obtuse. Maddening is a very apt term for what one feels when they try to discuss anything with you.

Price versus Value and Seperation of fees are the biggest obstacles on this forum.

Then include Highest and Best Use and how to deal with a home straddling or sitting in the middle of two separate taxed and platted parcels.

Next we can go to what's a Arm's length versus non-arm's length transaction.

Turn off the AF come back in 10 years and see the same poster's duking it out. Ya gotta love it.

Taht is because like any field, appraisal deals with a recurring set of fundamental problems - in different forms of course..
