The Encore Difference
Across the country, we've spoken with field appraisers who have a range of opinions on AMCs, some good, some bad, but one sentiment is nearly universal:
- They want to be paid fairly
- They want to be paid quickly
- They want an AMC that is a resource, not a roadblock.
In sports, when a coach "loses the locker room," it means they've lost the respect, trust, and motivation of their players. The team stops believing in them, morale collapses, and performance plummets.
The Mega AMCs lost the locker room a long time ago.
Why? Greed. Pure and simple.
AMC Encore was built to challenge the system, expose the inefficiencies, and put power back where it belongs, with the appraisers who are the foundation of this industry. It's time for real change. We're here to apply pressure and revitalize the future of appraisal management.
Game on!!

The values we live by
Unmatched Speed

Appraiser Fair Fee
Our transparency report provides a monthly breakdown of the appraisal fee allocation to the appraiser. This ensures you can see our commitment to maximizing appraiser compensation.

Direct Integrations
Our technology seamlessly integrates with your current systems, reducing manual data entry and lowering the chance of errors.
Why Encore? Why now?
The valuation industry is undergoing the largest, most disruptive transition in history. AMCs have been consolidated by private equity companies who are focused solely on profits, not performance and quality. Qualified appraiser numbers are rapidly shrinking. Add in the new UAD 3.6, new URAR forms, and appraisal modernization, all of which further complicate the situation. Who you choose to partner with today will make all the difference in your business tomorrow.
The mega-AMCs stopped caring about the work. We built Encore to fix that: treat appraisers like professionals, and lenders get cleaner reports and shorter turn times.

We can tell you how much we love what we do... but we'll let our clients do the talking
I am putting together a 3 AMC list that I am going to send out to all of my broker and correspondent clients… You are at the top of my suggested use list. You have gone above and beyond in helping on this nightmare file.
This does not exist that I have seen. I will be making you the top referral when asked.

Our experience with AMC Encore has been nothing short of excellent. The team is proactive in identifying and communicating potential issues, often before we’re even aware of them, which helps prevent delays.
A special shout-out to Brandon, Asaph, and Felicia for their open, direct, and consistent communication.

AMC Encore has been a valued partner for just under one year. From the very first order, they have hit and exceeded our expectations — hitting our turn times and, most importantly, showing outstanding customer service.
We made the very correct decision to start partnering with AMC Encore.

Encore’s review team guided me through two revisions I initially questioned and hadn’t even realized were necessary. I discovered a mistake I’d been making for years that no previous reviewer had ever pointed out.
Their insight has permanently elevated my work.
