It may seem the obvious solution is to try to manage these procedures in house and dedicate one or many non-originating staff to manage the appraisal process only to see turn times and quality suffer.  Or you can employ the services of an appraisal management company (AMC) to act as a firewall between the loan origination staff and the appraiser.  In fact, many lenders prefer that level of separation which is practical and desired. 

Our network solves this problem by operating in a "double blind" mode that hides the identity of the appraiser and the lender, making it easy for the two to communicate while still maintaining HVCC compliance. We already have appraisers throughout the country ready to accept orders, and the appraiser selection system lets us take into account factors like turnaround time, percentage of orders selected, proximity to subject and more for maximum flexibility.

You'll also appreciate our audit trail of communications that ensures complete transparency during the entire process. Simply put: It's a solution that meets your needs as a lender.  Also, as the lender you can use a custom fee panel of your current appraisers or appraisers we have used and screened for quality, turn around time and geographic competence.
