What Is Appraisal Management Software?
Key Takeaway

Appraisal management software (AMS) is a specialized platform designed to streamline and automate the entire residential real estate appraisal process. It acts as a central command center, connecting mortgage lenders, appraisal management companies (AMCs), and licensed appraisers in a single, unified system to manage appraisal orders from initial request through final report delivery.
Modern AMS platforms replace manual, error-prone processes like spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls with intelligent automation. Key workflows include automated order assignment, appraiser panel management, compliance tracking with AIR and Dodd-Frank regulations, quality control reviews, integrated billing and invoicing, and secure document management. This ensures every step is tracked, auditable, and efficient.
While many AMS platforms exist, Appraisal Host is purpose-built by appraisal professionals with over 15 years of industry experience. We combine enterprise-grade reliability on Amazon AWS with the flexibility to customize workflows to your exact business processes, ensuring you get a system that works the way you do.

How AMCs Use Appraisal Host to Scale Operations
For AMCs, juggling high order volumes and a large appraiser panel is a constant challenge, made even more complex by the need to manage dozens of lender clients, each with their own unique compliance rules and workflow requirements. Appraisal Host is built to handle this complexity. It automates your entire workflow by allowing you to configure client-specific rules while also handling intelligent order assignment, compliance tracking, and invoicing. This allows you to reduce manual work, increase profitability, and scale your operations without adding headcount.
How Lenders Use Appraisal Host to Reduce Turn Times
In a competitive market, slow appraisal turn times can kill deals. Appraisal Host accelerates the entire process by providing real-time tracking, automated notifications, and a direct line of communication with your appraisal partners. By eliminating communication delays and process bottlenecks, you can close loans faster and improve borrower satisfaction.
How Appraisal Companies Use Appraisal Host to Manage Teams
Managing a team of 5 or more appraisers using spreadsheets and email is inefficient and leads to missed deadlines. Appraisal Host provides a centralized platform to coordinate your field staff, manage order assignments, track production metrics, and streamline billing. Mobile access keeps your appraisers connected and productive in the field.
How Non-QM Lenders Use Appraisal Host for Speed and Flexibility
Non-QM lending requires speed and the ability to handle complex, non-standard property types. Appraisal Host provides the flexibility to manage unique valuation scenarios, customize appraisal requirements, and accelerate turn times for portfolio loans, giving you a competitive edge in a fast-paced market.
