Report finds the average AMC has 15-plus years of experience

On average, an appraiser working with major appraisal management companies (AMC) has more than 15 years of experience appraising residential properties, according to a new survey conducted by the Title/Appraisal Vendor Management Association (TAVMA). In addition, the survey showed that the vast majority of appraisers used by TAVMA members are "certified" appraisers, a designation that requires more experience and an additional level of testing above the state-licensed level.
