Ordering a lender appraisal
How mortgage appraisals are ordered, and what to do if your lender isn’t listed.
My lender is not on the list. Can Riverbend still do my appraisal?
Often, yes. Many lenders, especially private lenders, accept a report from a CRA member of the Appraisal Institute of Canada, and some lenders do not keep an approved list at all. Ask your mortgage broker or lender whether they accept Riverbend, or call us and we will check.
Can I order a mortgage appraisal myself?
It depends on the lender. Many lenders require the appraisal to be ordered through them, your broker or their appraisal management company, so the report is addressed to the lender. Check with your broker first. If you order directly, tell us who the lender is so the report meets their requirements.
What is an appraisal management company (AMC)?
An AMC manages appraisal orders on behalf of lenders. It assigns the appraisal to an approved appraiser, handles scheduling and quality review, and delivers the report to the lender. Riverbend is approved with RPS Real Property Solutions, Solidifi, Nationwide Appraisal Services and FNF Canada.
Who signs the report?
Reports are completed and signed by a Canadian Residential Appraiser (CRA, P.App.), a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute of Canada.
Lender-ready reports, without the delays.
Brokers and lenders: send the property address and lender details. Homeowners: tell us who your lender is and we will confirm their requirements.
