It's possible your lender doesn't use us yet. Lenders choose their appraisal management companies (AMCs), and the people who order appraisals see only the AMCs their lender approves. If Value Connect Inc. isn't on your lenders' lists, you haven't had a reason to find us.
We're approved with over 50 lenders. Their brokers, mortgage specialists and underwriters use tools and get service that you may not know exist. Here is what you have been missing, and how to get it.
Why you may not have heard of us
Appraisal ordering follows lender rules. If you do most of your business at one of the Bug 5 banks, we wouldn't be on your radar. They tend to focus on cost savings, not customer service. And they only update their vendors every 5-10 years.
Each lender approves its own AMCs and builds them into its mortgage process. Its mortgage specialists and underwriters order through those AMCs and never see another. Brokers see more of the market, but only lender by lender.
Value Connect has grown the same way, one lender approval at a time, with a focus on monoline, Alt-A and MIC lenders, credit unions and challenger banks. Lenders that approve us include MCAP, First National, CMLS Financial, Haventree Bank, EQ Bank, and IC Savings. If yours is not one of them yet, our name may never have come up.
What you have been missing
If you order appraisals
- One order, up to three lenders. Name up to three lenders on a single order. The report arrives as a draft, and you choose which lender receives it. Choose any of the three and there is no redirect fee, which otherwise typically runs $75 to $150.
- The price you see is the price you pay. Your fee is set when you enter the order details, and we guarantee it will not change.
- Fast turnaround you can track. You always know where each report stands, and you can message the appraiser through the platform. No chasing.
- The right appraiser for the file. Local appraisers, never out-of-town ones, plus specialists for commercial, 5+ unit, mixed-use, rural and unique properties, and for separation and divorce files.
- AVMs on the same platform. Order a property value AVM, a market rent AVM, or both, by address alone.
- Straight talk on value appeals. We coach brokers on avoiding a low value and on what a strong appeal includes: market research up front, a realistic estimated value, and comparable sales instead of simple disagreement.
If you run lending operations or underwrite
- Your rules, built in. Your Terms of Reference, property guidelines and appraiser policy travel with every order, whether you keep an approved appraiser list or leave selection to us.
- Less manual checking. The platform handles basic quality control checks and data entry, so underwriters spend their time on judgment.
- Reports where you work. Our Fundmore integration lets your team order from Fundmore, sends status updates, delivers the final report to your underwriter, and writes back the appraised value, appraisal date, firm and appraiser, straight into Fundmore. Other systems connect through our API too.
- A fee guarantee. Your borrowers pay the fee they were quoted, with no mileage charges for in-city reports.
- Coming December 15: appraisal screening. Screening checks reports against your Terms of Reference, adds AVM and climate risk cross-checks, and gives your underwriter a one-page risk summary. We screened more than 1,000 appraisals to prepare for launch.
What our clients say
Value Connect holds a 4.9-star Google rating from 250 reviews, the highest of the six AMCs we compared on November 12, 2026. Reviewers single out efficiency, responsiveness and ease of use. "Ordering is always quick and seamless, the pricing is completely fair," one client wrote.
How to get access
The fastest route depends on where you sit:
- If you work for a lender: ask your operations, credit or vendor management team to add Value Connect as an approved AMC. We set up your Terms of Reference and appraiser policy in the platform for you.
- If you are a broker: order through Value Connect for any lender that already approves us, and ask your BDMs at the others to add us. REGISTER HERE
- ... or ORDER NOW
- If your lender uses Fundmore: the integration is already built. One email asking Fundmore to turn it on is all it takes.
