Georgia requires every appraisal management company to file a bond of not less than $20,000 with the Real Estate Appraisers Board to register. Ours is $200 flat at the $20,000 amount — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















AMC bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your AMC registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
An appraisal management company hires and manages independent appraisers for lenders. Georgia's Real Estate Appraiser and Real Estate Appraisal Management Company Classification and Regulation Act (O.C.G.A. § 43-39A) conditions AMC registration on a surety bond — a guarantee in favor of the state that protects appraisers and the public against the AMC's misconduct.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia (the obligee). The bond is conditioned to pay damages, up to the bond amount, to any appraiser aggrieved by an act of the AMC — for example, an AMC that fails to pay appraisers for completed work.
The bond must be at least $20,000 and stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and your AMC registration can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond's application doesn't have one.
