ACT Appraisal's "Call First Program" separates us from the competition. The program is a two-step process which starts with calling the highest ranked appraiser on the order and then calling the contact. We push the appraisal along and manage the process until completion.
How it benefits you:
AppraisalQPM is a cloud-based business intelligence tool that focuses on appraiser transparency, quality and performance. This process allows for optimization of the appraiser during the engagement process.

After five appraisals, I knew immediately that ACT Appraisal was the absolute best AMC that I have come across. I was impressed that much after five appraisals. Thanks to Act Appraisal, I was able to do $300mm in business last year and there was perhaps only 3-4 loans that I needed to really research. That is a HUGE benefit when I don’t have to worry about appraisals. I am an Account Executive for Stonegate Mortgage’s Third Party Originations channel. So, I get involved in a lot of transactions.
I have found Act Appraisal to offer the BEST customer service, the best quality, and the best follow up among the five AMCs that we use. When you call their office, someone picks up the phone. If you have an issue on a report, just email or call Mirko who runs their QC department. He is phenomenal.
Everyone…from Ron Waite to Mirko to the support staff – offers a high level of service that is unparalleled. My success and the success of many in my division is directly attributable to Act Appraisal. It’s amazing how difficult it is for most AMCs to deliver a quality report. Act Appraisal consistently delivers a quality report. Believe me, if something falls off the tracks, you want Act Appraisal to be your AMC. They will work very hard to address any and all issues. I am always confident in my transactions when Act Appraisal is the AMC.
We now use five AMCs. Act Appraisal gets 80% of our orders (5% have to go to the other four AMCs). If the decision came to me, I would use Act Appraisal 100% of the time. Please note that in late 2015 Stonegate started using the RealEC portal in order to ‘round robin’ orders to various AMCs. Therefore, an overwhelming number of my business in 2015 went to Act Appraisal and all $180mm of my business in 2014 went to Act Appraisal.
We ensure that every detail is accurate. ACT has experienced, licensed appraisers manually QC 100% of the appraisals. In addition to utilizing our industry-leading software, we comply with all Federal, State and clients' specific guidelines.
ACT provides UAD compliant appraisals and submit directly to the GSE’s in XML format through the UCDP and EAD.
ACT Appraisal, Inc. – an independent third party appraisal company – certifies our appraisal reports are completed in compliance with all current appraisal independence requirements as defined by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration, in strict adherence to our non-influence policy and process.
