What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An appraisal management company sits between lenders and the appraisers it hires for them. Missouri licenses AMCs through the Real Estate Appraisers Commission and conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond, so consumers and appraisers have a financial backstop if an AMC fails to meet its obligations.
The bond accrues to the Real Estate Appraisers Commission for the benefit of a consumer claimant and secures the faithful performance of the AMC, its employees, and its agents in connection with the activities of the company under §§339.500–339.549 RSMo.
You must keep the bond valid and submit proof at initial application, on renewal, and after any draw-down — if a claim reduces the bond, you restore it. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
