Please kindly let me know about experiences with this AMC. Do they pay promptly? If so, what is time before payment after submission of report?
Are they worse than eAppraiseIT? Do they pay $175 for 1004? eAppraiseIT has something good about them though. They will pay you weekly.

They usually pay 30-45 day's after report submission. Lots of stips, and their fees are crummy. I work in a rural area, and they try the $200. 1004 appraisal thing on me, and I counter with $375-$425. They freak, then they call around and usually a week later they call me back and take the deal I offered, but then they are in a real rush, which I ignore.
They've also started broadcasting orders lately. Then they call me to see why I haven't snapped up their $200. offers of work. I laugh and give them the real price then. I'm getting about 20% full fee from them. The rest goes to skippy somewhere else I guess.

They won't pay unless you email them repeatedly and then threaten to send them to collections. My email said something like, "I'm a little confused as to why it's been 45 days and I still don't have payment when your website advertises payments are disbursed every 2 weeks. If I don't have payment within 5 business days, I'm sending this in to my (very effective) collections agency."
You'll have a check in the mail in no time.
My protocol is to not do business with anyone who I have to badger to get my money from! Stop doing business with this company if you currently allow them to treat you this way. I cannot say enough unsavory things about Valuation Partners. I did 1 BPO and 1 appraisal for them and didn't get paid on either until push came to shove. They keep making up excuses about how they're "backed up on payroll." Their business model is to 1) do very little work themselves, 2) take advantage of starving appraisers who are willing to appraise properties for a fraction of what we're worth, 3) take no liablity while happily taking a significant cut of the fee, and then 4) try to screw the appraiser out of payment. Stand up for yourselves, other appraisers. No one will take you seriously if you conduct yourself like a joke, and tolerating companies like Valuation Partners to get away with this crap is treating yourself like a joke.

Here is the best advice I could ever give when dealing with Valuation Partners and any other low-paying, broadcast-ordering AMC. This should work well for you:

Hold your head up high, grow a backbone (if you don't already have one), stand up, and be counted among the many appraisers that refuse to cave in. Use (copy & paste) the following handy reply, which I have set up as an email template:

"Thank you very much for considering ________________ [us] for your appraisal needs. However, we find your proposed fee to be unacceptable for the level of appraisal expertise and service that we provide, or for realistically supporting a professional appraisal practice in our part of the country. I also regret to inform you that we do not entertain 'broadcast' orders for appraisal services. We find the practice to be unprofessional, unacceptable, insulting and disgraceful to not only the appraisal profession, but the banking profession as well. Please remove our contact information from your system immediately, as we do not wish to be associated with companies with practices and policies such as those that you employ."

Living in the past

I think that some appraisers who have posted messages on this board may be living in the past. The whole country is suffering in the current economic times. Many people are unemployed and are willing to work for less than they did 4 years ago.

Also the internet provides you with technology that makes doing an appraisal a much quicker process than 4 years ago. You can do twice as much work in the same time. So if you know what you are doing you can make the same money. Just not twice as much.

If you are trying to unionize the appraisal business, you will just end up with a bunch of corruption at the top of that system skimming away the appraisers gains.

I think that you should just go with the capitalist system as it is and use the advances in technology to make you and the whole process more efficient.
You can and will make a good living at the lower fees if you take advantage of the advances in technology.

Stick with your IT work and leave the appraising to us. Twice the work for the same amount of money means twice the variable costs and twice the liability. Also, technology and the internet doesn't help me measure twice as many houses in one day.

I'm thinking you are an AMC troll. Go away.
