AMC Profile
We Value our Clients....AMC’s Included!
An AMC should chose Niemi LaPorte & Dowle Appraisals for the exact same rationale as a lender choses to deal with you, the AMC. National lenders don’t want to deal directly with thousands of appraisers, write tens of thousands of appraisal cheques, and have thousands of points of contact. It is inefficient and expensive. That is why they deal with one or two AMC’s and achieve the economies of scale and efficiencies that AMC’s can provide.
As an AMC, why would you want to recreate the inefficient business relationship your lender clients have discarded, namely dealing with thousands of individual appraisers? The rationale is the same ‐ wouldn’t your AMC business run more profitably and efficiently if you could deal with dozens of appraisal firms across the country instead of thousands?
Niemi LaPorte and Dowle Appraisals represent 25 appraisers with 7 support staff and are the largest residential firm in our markets. We have the capability and capacity to handle the volume loads of dozens of “individual appraiser” firms, with the highest level of consistency and oversight. Additionally, we are capable of providing IC&I appraisals through our AACI, P. App. team. Let us do for you what you successful have done for your lender clients ‐ provide efficiency and cost savings.
