Frequently Asked Questions
Why are lender panel approvals critical for appraisal firm insurance planning?
Lender AMC panel approvals are specific to credentialed appraisers. If a principal appraiser passes, panel approvals may lapse, temporarily eliminating lender work. Key person insurance provides revenue bridge funding while new panel applications are processed.
How do appraisal firm buy-sell agreements account for license value?
Appraiser licenses and lender relationships represent significant intangible value. Buy-sell agreements should account for this goodwill in valuations and ensure life insurance coverage is sufficient to fund these intangible asset purchases.
