When a community bank becomes a SAMCO client, their approved appraiser/vendor list joins SAMCO's approved appraiser list. There is absolutely no change in the appraisers completing your appraisals! The only change is that now these appraisals will be going through a rigorous audit to ensure they meet USPAP and Appraisal Standards. In addition, your local appraisers now have a partner in the process. They are encouraged to call SAMCO anytime they have a question or an unusual situation. Two heads are always better than one and with the years of appraisal experience that are on SAMCO's staff, the best resolution or answer is usually found.
