VREAB Publishes Fee Guidance

The Virginia Real Estate Appraiser Board recently published a guidance document regarding customary and reasonable compensation for fee appraisers. The guide dictates that licensed Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) must provide customary and reasonable compensation to fee appraisers.

AMCs are presumed to comply with this requirement by compensating fee appraisers in an amount that is reasonably related to recent rates paid for comparable appraisal services performed in the geographic market of the property being appraised.  In determining this amount, AMCs must review the following factors and make any adjustments to recent rates paid in the relevant geographic market to ensure the compensation is reasonable:
  1. the type of property;
  2. the scope of work;
  3. the time in which appraisal services are required to be performed;
  4. fee appraiser qualifications;
  5. fee appraiser experience and professional record; and
  6. fee appraiser work quality. 
AMCs must not engage in any anti-competitive acts in violation of state or federal law that affect the compensation paid to fee appraisers.
