What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company (AMC) is a third-party broker of appraisal services that sits between lenders and the appraisers who do the work. Delaware registers AMCs through the Council on Real Estate Appraisers under Title 24, Chapter 40, and conditions registration on a $20,000 surety bond.
The bond is a consumer-and-appraiser-protection guarantee: it's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Delaware (the obligee). If an AMC fails to pay appraisers for completed work or otherwise violates AMC law, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $20,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and your registration can be affected — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
