New Appraisal Advisor Weekly: Rate your Clients
By Isaac Peck, Associate Editor

In conjunction with Appraisal Advisor, Working RE announces today Appraisal Advisor Weekly, a new weekly email publication by and for appraisers to rate and review appraisal management companies (AMCs), lenders, GSEs, and private non-mortgage clients.  If you’re one of the 80,000 appraisers who receive Working RE’s email edition, you will automatically enjoy this weekly information exchange. If you don’t receive WRE Online currently, you can opt in at WorkingRE.com.

“I think this is a super idea that we’re happy to be involved with,” said David Brauner, Editor of WRE and Senior Broker at OREP. “This will be especially useful to forewarn appraisers about companies that are slow or no pay- so readers can avoid getting caught with significant unpaid invoices if another AMC or lender fails. It also will spread the word and reward those companies that appraisers really like doing business with.  This can do a lot of good for everyone involved."

The weekly emails will allow appraisers to easily ask, receive, and provide more information about a variety of clients using Appraisal Advisor's easy-to-use reviews platform, according to Matt Biggers, CEO and co-founder of Appraisal Advisor. "Our partnership with Working RE is going to help tens of thousands of appraisers nationwide" says Biggers. "With a forward-looking organization like Working RE, appraisers can reach a larger audience when they request reviews to screen clients using statistical data. The benefits are endless: clients can be held accountable for their good and bad actions, appraisers will be able to decide when to stop extending credit to a going-under AMC, and appraisers will be able to better set their fees using data from our Geo Fee Chart."

Look for the first email to hit inboxes nationwide October 11th.
