Better HVCC Compliant Appraisal Ordering?
Has the HVCC jeopardized your business, despite being billed as a way to improve it?
The HVCC has led to:
- Marked-up fees, which hurt your client relationships
- Long turn times, which damage your reputation as a lender
- Less-experienced appraisers willing to take smaller fees than experienced appraisers who know their own value
- Out-of-area appraisers that lack the required familiarity to appraise property in assignment areas
