Virginia Appraiser Management Company Bond
Overview
Get bonded as a Virginia Appraiser Management Company and meet the state's licensing requirement before you assign a single appraisal order. This bond protects appraisers and clients from financial harm caused by an AMC that fails to pay for completed appraisal services or violates state regulations. Virginia requires this bond as a condition of licensure, and you cannot legally operate an AMC in the Commonwealth without it. Bond Titan makes it fast to get this bond purchased, documented, and submitted.
Who Needs This Bond?
Appraisal Management Companies seeking licensure in Virginia are the direct applicants for this bond. If your company recruits, manages, or contracts with independent appraisers to perform real estate appraisals for lenders or other clients in Virginia, you are required to carry this bond. This applies whether you are headquartered in Virginia or operating as an out-of-state AMC doing business within the Commonwealth. Any entity functioning in this capacity must be bonded before the state will issue or renew a license.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that your Appraisal Management Company will pay appraisers the fees they are owed for completed appraisal work and will operate in compliance with Virginia's AMC regulations. If your company fails to pay an appraiser or causes a financial loss through regulatory violations, the bond provides a mechanism for the harmed party to seek recovery. It holds AMCs financially accountable in a role where appraisers often have limited leverage. The bond protects the integrity of the appraisal process across Virginia real estate transactions.
When is it Required?
Submitting your Virginia AMC license application is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. You must have the bond in place and provide proof of it to the Virginia Real Estate Appraiser Board before your license is approved. Without the bond, your application will not clear, and you cannot lawfully assign appraisal work to Virginia-licensed or certified appraisers. Renewal of your AMC license requires the bond to remain continuously active throughout your licensing period.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide requirement enforced across the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. It applies to every AMC operating within Virginia, regardless of where the company is physically headquartered. The Virginia Real Estate Appraiser Board administers the licensing program and the bond obligation.
