I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aloft Appraisal (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2022
Interview
The interview process is very organized, thorough and reasonable. The timing is reasonable between interviews. Most are in person if not all although I have heard of them being remote if needed.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer told me in the first five minutes that if I didn’t like what his offer was (mentioned a low rate)we would end the interview quickly. We had not even talked for 5 minutes. I said I was interested but after that I got a feeling he rushed through it. He sent me a link for some samples of my work.
I applied online. I interviewed at Aloft Appraisal
Interview
Interview was fine - the issue is that Aloft seems to be little more than an intermediary between the AMC and the appraiser. So the AMC takes a cut, Aloft takes a cut, and the appraiser is paid as a W2 hourly employee earning a nominal wage.
This might be a feasible business arrangement for a trainee, but not for a licensed or certified appraiser.

Question 1
Aloft just wanted to know the level of appraisal experience.
