My working "neighborhood" extends over 40 miles (and I know the neighborhood). To just deny that you have unqualified reviewers is not an effective argument since most struggle with English (perhaps because they're working in India); have no knowledge outside the template you provide them and cannot even understand the question the appraiser poses. As to reduced fees, the AMCs are simply lying. They know it, the appraisers know it. The turn-time demands are absurd. No communication with AMCs mentions quality or fees; it is all about turn-time. You get what you pay for. You do your whoring for the lenders; you expect, and pay for, the same from appraisers. You're vicious little money-grubbing rats...is that clear enough?
