Private and hard money loans move fast, and the appraisal shouldn’t be the thing that slows the deal down. Because these loans typically aren’t federally related mortgage transactions, they don’t have to go through an appraisal management company (AMC) — which means the lender and appraiser can talk directly, cutting out the delay and back-and-forth that AMC-routed appraisals usually involve.
I work directly with private lenders and hard money lenders with the kind of fast turnaround and direct communication these deals require.
What’s typically included
- Current fair market value appraisal, scoped to the lender’s specific requirements
- Direct communication with the lender or loan officer throughout — no AMC intermediary
- Fast scheduling and turnaround built around the closing timeline
- Reports formatted to whatever the lender’s underwriting requires, not a one-size-fits-all template
Who this is for: private lenders, hard money lenders, and mortgage brokers who need a reliable, direct-line appraiser for non-conventional real estate loans.
FAQ
Why doesn’t this need to go through an AMC?
Private and hard money loans generally aren’t “federally related transactions” under the appraisal independence rules that require AMC routing for most conventional mortgages.
How fast is turnaround?
Faster than a typical AMC-routed appraisal, since there’s no queue or reassignment process — timelines are worked out directly with the lender.
