What to Expect
You will be asked all of the following as part of the underwriting process:
A credit inquiry will also be standard. Surety bond agencies utilize “soft inquiries” which have no adverse impact on your credit score.
The premium for qualified applicants will be $500 ($250, annually for a two year term). This amount may also be prorated depending on when during the year the surety bond is purchased.
A SC appraisal management surety bond purchased for a full term will begin on June 30th and expire two years later on the 30th.
As noted above, depending on when the bond is purchased, it may be prorated as to price; however, the termination date is always 30 June.
Your surety bond serves as a financial guarantee for the state of South Carolina that you will be in compliance with all laws, regulations, and any amendments concerning appraisal management companies.
The protections afforded by means of this surety bond also extend to wrongdoing committed by any employees, agents, and managers of a licensed appraisal company. The Real Estate Appraiser Board goes so far as to provide a claims form on their website.
