Why cut business expenses? We have a bottom line for expenses, we have a nut to crack on each and every appraisal as to cost to produce and profit. So why are we trying to find ways to stay in business and continue to meet the lower and lower fee’s offered by the lenders and AMC’s? Cutting our selves short to meet other demands???? m2:
If the buyer of our services can’t afford to pay the cost of doing business let them figure out some things else. How many people do you dicker with on lowing their fee’s or prices. How many times do you walk into your grocery store and fill you cart, walk up to the check out stand and tell them all you are going to pay is $10 cause that all it worth to you?
I not saying its not ok to be efficient in your business cost. My feelings are you already should have been. There would be no way you could cut cost now, if you had been.
How long it the race to the bottom for the lowest fee going to continue for the residential appraiser????
