Waiting for a commercial appraisal to come can feel watching grass grow. While most appraisals can take one to two weeks, some can take much longer, depending on the property type.

After waiting, the last thing lenders or AMCs want is pesky delays caused by inadequate appraisal management processes. The answer for lenders is relying on an appraisal management software that provides a streamlined workflow that enhances project control, simplifies compliance, and allows lenders to work smarter, not harder. This all sounds great until you hear…
