High-Quality Appraisal Management and Compliance Support

Responsive. Resourceful.
Reliable.
That’s R3 AMC!

Looking to improve appraisal turn times, mitigate risk, and protect against appraisal bias and discrimination? R3 AMC can help. R3 is a full-service appraisal management company focused on helping lenders navigate the appraisal process quickly and efficiently for greater peace of mind. As an appraiser-owned and operated AMC, we attract the best appraisers in the industry. Both our appraisers and our processes are focused on delivering accurate, unbiased appraisals to help you grow your business.

Why R3?

It’s really simple. We are appraiser owned and operated and we answer the phone. We understand that on every appraisal, we are a direct reflection of our clients. It’s important for appraisers to want to work with us.  We are really good at this!

Innovation

Leveraging August 1,2023 Fannie Mae Appraisal Independence Guidelines, we have developed products and systems that comply with those guideline changes and create competitive sales advantages for our lender clients. “Setting the bar for compliant agent communication” isn’t just branding, it’s our mission to turn that communication into more loans for our clients and sales for their agents.

Coming In Hot!

R3 is proud to announce the late Q4 2023 product launch of ValueTest.ai. to begin utilizing AI in our daily operations. Benefits will include targeted, common sense QC, Appraisal Grade Research combining AI search and appraisal parameters, high risk score escalations and agency putback rebuttals, all while doubling as a RESPA compliant sales and lead generation tool for loan officers with their agent referral partners.

Testimonials

A Game-Changing Experience: Outstanding Review for Brent Jones and R3 AMC Appraisal Services

We have been at it now close to 5 years, Brent and his team at R3 from the start have given us service levels and communication that has been incredible. Their appraisers are responsive, staff focused on problem solving, and when a file does go sideways because of value, their Heads-Up program never blindsides me when we have appraisal gaps. For large teams like ours, it really is a true partnership!

Mark Johnson

CMG Mortgage

We have now worked with Brent Jones and his team at R3 for a couple of years, have completed 1000’s of orders and hosted 3 educational seminars.  We have never experienced this level of customer service. We feel fully supported whether it regards day to day appraisal management challenges, when appraisal gaps arise, educating our agents, or helping us find solutions when transactions are at risk. Highly highly recommend!
