No emailing AMCs to get on their panel. No waiting weeks to see your first order. Sign up, get verified, and you're immediately available in every county you service.
Appraisal Desk is free for appraisers. We make money from lenders and AMCs using the platform, not from you. No subscription, no hidden fees, no "premium" tier.
Every lender and AMC on Appraisal Desk pulls from the same shared appraiser pool. When you sign up, you're not applying to individual panels one by one. You're automatically available in every county you service, to every client on the platform, immediately.
These aren't features. They're reasons appraisers who care about running a professional practice choose this platform.
Your profile takes minutes to complete. We verify your credentials and coverage areas fast, usually within a day. Most platforms drag this out. We don't.
Fast onboardingWhen the lender accepts your order, your payment is triggered automatically. No invoicing, no chasing. Borrower-pay orders settle within minutes of acceptance. Lender-pay orders settle weekly. Either way, you'll know which type before you accept.
Automatic payoutsEvery fee, every adjustment, every line item. You see the complete breakdown for every order, every time. No vague totals, no surprises buried in fine print. We treat you like a professional running a business, not a vendor to manage.
100% transparencyYour earnings dashboard shows every order, what you made on it, and every payout to your bank. See what's pending, what's cleared, and what's coming. No more cross-referencing bank statements with spreadsheets to figure out where a deposit came from.
Full earnings visibilityWhen something goes wrong or you have a question, you can call or text a real person who knows what an appraisal is. No offshore support queues, no scripted responses from someone reading a help doc for the first time.
Actual human supportWe intentionally kept this as simple as possible. Here's exactly what signing up looks like.
Enter your license info, coverage counties, and the order types you take on. The more complete your profile, the better we can match you to relevant orders.
Takes about 2 minutesWe confirm your credentials and coverage. Once you're approved, you're immediately available to every lender and AMC on the platform. No additional steps.
Usually under 24 hoursOrders come to you based on your coverage and qualifications. Review the full details, accept what works, and get paid automatically when the order closes.
Same day for established appraisers in active marketsOn order volume: If you're already established with an active license and existing lender relationships, you'll likely see meaningful volume right away, especially in high-activity markets. If you're newer or in a slower market, volume will grow as more lenders come onto the platform. We'd rather be upfront about that than have you sign up with unrealistic expectations.
On payment timing: When you get paid depends on how the order is funded. Borrower-pay orders are typically collected before the appraisal even starts, so your payment will come through within minutes of the lender accepting the order. Lender-pay orders settle on a weekly basis, so it may take a few extra days after the order closes before it hits your account. Either way, you'll always know which type you're dealing with before you accept.
On the platform itself: We're actively building. If you run into something that doesn't work the way you'd expect, or you have an idea that would make your life easier, we actually want to hear it. This platform was built from real AMC operations. The team here listens.
A few things we get asked a lot. If yours isn't here, reach out. We're easy to get ahold of.
