Staff vs. Fee Panel: Why the Staff Model Is Gaining Ground

Staff vs. fee panel. It’s one of the longest-running debates in appraisal history, and today we’re going to address it. Hal is joined by Todd Rasmussen of MARRCH Valuations to break down the staff appraiser model, explain why he believes it’s the future of valuation, and explore what it means for quality, consistency, and the evolving demands of lenders and appraisers alike.

Todd's Top 5 Ways to Reduce Your Revision Requests
1. Make sure the AMC name is right
2. Make sure the lender name is right
3. Double check that all photo evidence matches your description, and vice versa
4. Make sure the home is actually unoccupied
5. Follow FHA-specific requirements when doing FHA reports
