Why do I need this bond?

Washington appraisal management company bonds ensure that principals (AMCs) comply with all provisions of Chapter 18.310 RCS of the state of Washington and with all rules and regulations adopted by the Director of the Department of Licensing. Some prohibited acts under this bond include:

failing to pay appraisers within 45 days of an appraisal
coercing an appraiser to give a certain appraisal amount
withholding or threatening to withhold payment
expressing or promising future business
altering an appraisal report
prohibiting communication between the lender, the real estate licensee, the property owner, and any other third party involved

If the principal fails to comply with these terms, the bond protects harmed parties from financial loss.

What’s the fine print?

AMC bonds in Washington remain in full force and effect until canceled or violated. In the event of cancellation, the Business and Professions Division requires the surety to provide notice of cancellation and the reason for cancellation 30 days prior to the date termination takes effect.
