Appraisal Ordering Service

With an approved roster of 3 - 5 local appraisers, you can order your appraisals through our Appraisal Department instead of an AMC Service.  We do not charge any additional fees for this service to be used.  The appraisers are happy because they get to retain their full fee for the service.  To use our Appraisal Department, simply email a completed Appraisal Roster Request to [email protected]. Once approved, you will receive a notification that you can start ordering appraisals through our department.  For complete details regarding our service, please click here:  Appraisal Ordering Policy & Agreement

Income calculation and review.  We will be happy to help you with those tough self employed borrowers or strange income situations.  Please send us 2 years tax returns for both personal and business.
