Appraisal Management Software for AMCs, Lenders & Appraisal Companies
Appraisal Host is appraisal management software that runs residential appraisal orders for AMCs, lenders, banks, credit unions and appraisal companies. Built by professionals with 17+ years of appraisal industry experience, it automates order assignment, compliance tracking and appraiser panel management.
Appraisal Management Software, From Order Intake to Delivery
Key Takeaway
Appraisal Host is an appraisal management system that takes an order from intake through assignment, compliance, delivery and billing in one place, with your own rules applied at every step.
Orders arrive from your clients or from your loan origination system. Assignment is manual, round-robin or location-based, and the system will not let an order go to an appraiser whose license or E&O insurance has lapsed. Panel credentials are tracked for you, with reminders before anything expires.
Every order carries an audit trail. Appraisal Host enforces the separation between loan production staff and appraiser selection that Appraiser Independence Requirements demand, and it generates the compliance certificate each of your lender clients wants, in that client's own language.
Invoicing, receivables and payables run in the same place. Post payments, track outstanding balances, schedule appraiser payments on NET terms, and pull reports on orders, profitability and panel coverage without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

Who Runs Their Appraisal Management on Appraisal Host
Key Takeaway
Appraisal Host is built for the organizations that move residential appraisal orders: appraisal management companies (AMCs), mortgage lenders, banks, credit unions and independent appraisal firms.
AMCs, at volume
High order counts, a large panel, and a dozen lender clients who each want their own rules. Appraisal Host holds those client-specific rules and applies them automatically, from assignment through compliance to invoicing, so you can take on more volume without adding headcount.
Lenders, on turn time
Slow appraisals kill deals. Real-time tracking, automatic notifications and a direct line to your appraisal partners take the waiting and the chasing out of the process, so loans close sooner.
Appraisal companies, coordinating a team
Running five or more appraisers on spreadsheets and email means missed deadlines. One platform coordinates field staff, assignments, production metrics and billing, with mobile access for appraisers who are out on inspections.
Non-QM lenders, on flexibility
Non-QM work brings unusual properties and non-standard requirements. Configure the valuation rules each program needs and keep the pipeline moving at the speed the deals demand.
Why Operations Teams Choose Appraisal Host
Key Takeaway
17+ years of appraisal industry experience, enterprise-grade reliability on AWS, order workflows and compliance letters configured to your process, and a support team of appraisal professionals.
Built by appraisers, for appraisers
Appraisal Host was founded and built by appraisal professionals who lived these problems before they built software for them. That experience is in every feature, which is why the platform behaves the way you expect it to.
Enterprise-grade reliability
Your business cannot afford downtime. Appraisal Host runs on Amazon Web Services with 99.99% uptime and industry-leading security, so the platform is on when you need it.
Your business, your rules
Appraisal Host adapts to how you already work. Order workflows, notification templates, compliance letters and reporting formats are all configured to match your process. Do not change your business to fit your software.
Support from people who get it
Support is staffed by experienced appraisal professionals, not a generic call center. They can work through a complex compliance scenario or a workflow question with you.
Compliance Built Into the Workflow
Key Takeaway
Maintain 100% AIR and Dodd-Frank compliance with our automated 2026 framework. Our platform integrates bias prevention and UAD 3.6 readiness (mandatory November 2, 2026), supported by an ASC-verified national directory of appraisal regulatory boards across all 50 states.
Dodd-Frank requires a firewall between the people who produce loans and the people who select appraisers. Appraisal Host enforces that firewall in the software rather than in a policy document: loan officers cannot influence appraiser selection, every interaction with an appraiser is logged, and the audit trail is immutable.
Compliance certificates are generated per lender, in that lender's own language, and USPAP validation runs before delivery.
State regulatory board contact information is sourced from the ASC National Registry, the federal source maintained by the Appraisal Subcommittee.
