“When AMCs cancel an appraisal order last minute, they typically only offer to reimburse drive time to the property. What they don’t understand is that by the time I show up at a property, I’ve already completely 50-60 percent of the appraisal file…” – Dave Starr

If you’re anything like Dave Starr, independent residential appraiser and sole owner-operator of North Starr Appraisals, chances are you like to prepare as much of the appraisal report as possible before visiting the actual property. Although this is considered a best practice, it can sometimes leave you with cancelled orders that you aren’t able to collect on, which is incredibly frustrating.

“When AMCs cancel an appraisal order last minute, they typically only offer to reimburse drive time to the property. But what AMCs don’t understand is that by the time I show up at a property, I’ve already completed 50 to 60 percent of the appraisal file,” says Starr. The Anow workfile allows Starr to submit tangible documents and a detailed history of his work so that he can make a case for a reasonable reimbursement fee – “By itself, this has paid for Anow many times over.”

You deserve to collect revenue on time and effort that you’ve put into cancelled orders, and Anow can help you achieve that through detailed tracking of order progress.
