Making a Positive IMPACT in the real estate industry.
In today's competitive real estate market, it's crucial to partner with an Appraisal Management Company (AMC) that not only understands your needs but also prioritizes transparency, respect, and quality in every step of the appraisal process. That's precisely what Impact Appraisal Management is all about.
Our mission is rooted in a simple philosophy: to treat others the way we would want to be treated. While this may not be a groundbreaking concept, it is often overlooked in the fast-paced world of real estate. Impact Appraisal Management is owned and operated by experienced appraisers who understand the importance of trust and reliability in the appraisal process.
Consider this, real estate agents and mortgage loan officers work tirelessly to build strong client relationships and deliver exceptional service. However, when it comes to the crucial step of the appraisal, many rely on AMC's that are often despised by the very appraisers responsible for the work.
Here's the problem with the majority of AMC's today: lack of transparency and, in our opinion, unethical practices. They tend to slow down turnaround times and compromise the quality of appraisal reports. These AMC's often put appraisal orders out for bid, resulting in appraisers receiving a mere fraction of the fee collected from the borrower, sometimes as low as 40%. This discourages appraisers from providing excellent service and timely reports, as they are underpaid and cannot afford to spend adequate time on each appraisal.
At Impact Appraisal Management, we do things differently. We do not “broadcast” appraisal orders and subject them to bidding wars. This process does not guarantee the best appraiser for the job, and instead assures that the appraisal will be completed by the lowest bidder, who may not be able to invest the time needed for a credible report. Instead, we pay appraisers a fair market fee they have already agreed to and charge a small management fee. This approach enables us to offer competitive pricing to our clients while ensuring that our appraisers are fairly compensated for their expertise and time. We do not pass on extra costs like upload fees or technology fees to the appraiser. Impact covers these fees. Our team comprises only the best appraisers in each market, rigorously vetted and hand-picked for their skill and professionalism.
Our appraisers appreciate the respect they receive and as such are motivated to provide quick turnaround times and deliver high-quality appraisal reports.
We are unwavering in our commitment to providing excellent service with full transparency throughout the appraisal process. When you choose Impact Appraisal Management, you're choosing a partner that understands the importance of trust, reliability, and quality.
