Michigan Appraisal Management Company (AMC) Bonds

Surety bonds are required for real estate appraisal management companies (AMCs). AMCs typically serve as third party managers for a network of appraisers involved in the residential home sale process. In light of the real estate market turmoil in recent years, state legislative bodies have been actively reassessing the risks inherent in this industry. In many cases, this leads to changes in surety bonding obligations and amounts required.
