The Appraisal Alliance Client Services
Thank you for your interest in The Appraisal Alliance. We pride ourselves on our product and our services as a step to building relationship-based business. We don't believe in high price glossy marketing materials,instead we go to great lengths to market ourselves by building rapport with our customer service and our ability to develop a custom one on one relationship with you and our appraiser partners.
One of our primary objectives is to bring you value. From innovative products and services that accelerate the loan closing process to cutting-edge technology that provides you with a more efficient way to work, we're committed to enhancing your ability to be a competitive industry leader. We guarantee that we do not mark up appraisal fees to our valued lender clients; we feel our business model is satisfying to both the lender and the appraiser.
We value our appraisers as business partners. We do not operate on a typical fee split arrangement, which is typical of most of our competitors.
As a potential business partner you may think to yourself how does all of this benefit me?
- Because we do not cut the appraiser's fees by the typical 30-60%, as most AMC's do to operate, we consistently receive a higher quality appraisal, a far superior level of communication and commitment from our appraiser family which translates into a far superior product and quick turn around times. Our appraisers are willing to go the extra mile for us and our clients because we are consistently communicating with them and we always take the time to re-earn their business.
- While we have the reach and availability of a nationwide corporation we have maintained a boutique feel in the areas of communication and service. We understand the value of each client and deal to your team. We emphasized the fact that our appraisers are representing you to your clients. We understand that for a lot of your borrowers, our appraiser partners may be the first person they have direct contact with, representing your firm. In many cases with our national clients we are the only representatives their clients will lay eyes on prior to closing.
- Our automation keeps you updated throughout the process. Once the appraisal order is placed, you will be informed as it is assigned, when the appointment has been set, and when the appraisal will be completed, etc. While several of our competitors offer this automation, we back it up with experienced live staff member to support both the appraiser and our client with any challenges 24/7. If there is a challenge at any point during the appraisal process, our appraisers will stop and conduct us to advise us immediately. Our appraiser partners and customer service representative will quickly assist in resolving the issues. We know we can solve over 95% of issues internally without affecting appraisal delivery time. If there are challenges to the assignment that we cannot immediately address, or client is promptly notified. We will never deliver a product that our client cannot use.
