2013 Appraiser Marketing Guide and List of 3400+
Direct Lenders, Credit Unions and Bail Bond Companies

Have you noticed a significant decline of lender work over the past few months? Do you want to learn how to get more appraisal orders and finally get off the Appraisal Management Company roller coaster ride for good?

Like many appraisers I have seen a very significant decline in AMC orders over the past few months. I have been kicking myself in the butt for not getting started on my marketing to Attorneys, bail bond companies and credit unions prior to the interest rates going up.

Luckily I have a steady stream of attorney work that keeps me busy due to having a good contact management system in place and a steady client base of bail bond companies that refer their customers to me.

In this book I have detailed the steps that I take to create an inexpensive mailer to get more work from credit unions, attorneys and bail bond companies as well as the systems I use to continually get more referral work from all my past clients.

This is an incredible resource to those appraisers that are really looking to learn how do market your appraisal company and build up your client base so you don’t have to deal with seasonal and economic slow downs. This kind of work never goes away!

Possibly one of the most valuable aspects of this book is the spreadsheets that include:

Chapters Include:

You are going to especially love the Bail Bond marketing information. These orders are amazing and I have been focusing a lot of my efforts to getting more of their referrals. Why?

When I am referred a customer, I quote 3 fees. I base my first fee off of complexity of the appraisal. Lets say it is a standard tract home in San Diego. I quote them $400 and will inspect within 2 working days and have the appraisal report back to them within 2 days. The second fee is to inspect within 24 hours and have back within 24 hours for $800, and finally a same day inspection and deliver of the appraisal is $1200.

Which one do you think the client wants when they are trying to get a loved one out of jail? 75% of the time it is the $1200 fee for a simple tract home appraisal.

But you do have to follow up to keep these clients, and I have listed all the techniques I use to stay in contact with these clients so the work doesn’t go away.

This resource is jammed packed with information and the spreadsheets are 100% sortable by state to make it easy to create your postcard and do your mailing as noted in Chapter 5: Step-by-Step Instructions to Make a Postcard Mailer From Card Design to Mailing

The next chapter lays out the steps I use to get a massive list of Attorneys in my market area by an inexpensive virtual assistant.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have newly updated my list of appraisal management companies!

I did something really silly. I was getting so much work from the top 10 companies on my list that I was not updating my license and e&o with the rest of the companies on my list…

I didn’t put ALL my eggs in 1 basket, well, maybe I did!!! Unfortunately with the rising rates I have seen my AMC work come to a crawl.

Because of this, I decided to go through my entire directory again and update all of my information as well as sign up to some additional companies I have got from other appraisers that are still getting flooded with work.

So now my list has over 275 AMCs listed, I got rid of some bad ones, added some new ones to my list of the top 50 that send me the most work and I just got them back from the printer!

So, if you don’t want this to happen to you, or you have seen a significant decline of AMC work, make sure to sign up to the companies listed in my AMC directory before you don’t have enough money coming in to cover your bills.

You can order a printed version of the book so you can take notes inside or get a PDF printable version by ORDERING HERE.

These are the top 2 ways that I make most of my income and reach my monthly goals.

With all the ups and downs with work flow coming form the Appraisal Management Companies, luckily my website brings in a fair amount of work.

You can easily follow in my footsteps and get a ton of appraisal work.

Step #1 – Sign up to all 300 AMCs on my 2011 AMC Directory.

– you must treat this like a full time job. Luckily the top 40 on my list should bring you the majority of your work, but since I still get quite a few orders from a bunch of the other AMCs on the list, I really suggest signing up to all of them.

– you can pay someone part time to apply to all the AMCs while you work on appraisals, etc… Hire someone from craigslist.org

– I guarantee you will get work or get 100% of your money back

– appraisers are still needed throughout the country

– I give you additional tips on getting the most out of the AMCs

get more information and the directory at – http://www.appraisalmanagementcompanies.org

Step #2 – Get a search engine optimized website

– I got tired of all the pains with monthly billing (was $29.95 a month or $360 a year) – so I SLASHED the prices and lowered the annual billing to only $260 a year!

– Search engine optimized

– You will get more calls for estate orders

– 25% – 50% of my work comes from my Appraiser Website

– awesome fees for divorce, bankruptcy and estate appraisals

get more information at http://www.appraiserwebsites.net

I got another article published. Lots of good information on marketing your appraisal services. Makes sure to read it, there is a lot of really good appraisal company marketing advice in the article. Thanks for the support!
