SAMCO Appraisal Management Company expects the appraiser who is assigned the project to call for an appointment within 48 hours of receipt of the assignment. SAMCO does not place unrealistic requirements on your local appraisers. Some AMCs state they will have the appraisal back to the client within 48 hours. That's not reasonable for a quality appraisal. SAMCO does expect the appraisal to be completed within five business days of the appraisal request, and the appraisers are rated upon that performance expectation. If your customer does not allow the inspection to be scheduled in a timely manner, or if there are other extenuating circumstances, of course the five-day requirement is extended. This is where communication is key and required of our appraisers. You, the client, will be e-mailed the status updates and for a more detailed report, you can just check the status board for that particular appraisal online. It's easy! After the inspection, it is expected that the appraisal is to be completed within two business days. Here again, communication between the appraiser is key and is monitored by the SAMCO staff.
