What makes Chandos Pacific better than most appraisal fee shops?
Chandos Pacific is better than most appraisal fee shops because it is not an appraisal fee shop. Chandos Pacific is a boutique consultant retaining a qualified economist and graduate students to conduct macro analysis, and clerical people to process the reports. The signing appraiser personally inspects all properties and conducts all key research. This is essentially a philosophic split from the fee shop business model. From our perspective, the fee shop model is detrimental to clients as it increases the opportunity for confusion, error and professional liability. What is positive about this is a licensed professional meets with your borrower every time. Should questions arise, there is no third party, or unlicensed junior associate involved. You can call in to check on the status of your project and speak directly with the person handling your transaction verses the larger fee shops where the partner has to refer questions out to the sub-contracting associate. We keep things simple
