Why I built this

Why I built this for home appraisers

I ran a painting company for years. I know exactly how the big lead machines treat home appraisers — shared leads, bidding wars, and a bill whether the job closes or not.

AMC Dependency

Management companies take 40-50% of the fee and treat you like a commodity. You're competing against appraisers who've never seen the neighborhood.

Lender Panel Games

Getting on panels takes months. Staying on requires accepting every low-fee assignment they throw at you.

Race to the Bottom

Online appraisal platforms push fees down while complexity goes up. A $350 appraisal that takes 6 hours isn't sustainable.

Three steps

How LeadChuck works for home appraisers

No shared leads, no bidding war. You set your fee, referrals come from contractors who already vetted the job, and you only pay when you accept.

1

Set Your Price

You set one lead fee — that's what you pay for every referral that comes your way. Be competitive, but set a price you're comfortable with.

Step 1 of 3
2

Get Referrals from Professionals

Realtors with estate clients. Divorce attorneys splitting assets. Mortgage brokers with private deals. They refer to you directly — no AMC middleman.

Step 2 of 3
3

Close and Keep Your Full Fee

No 40% cut to a management company. You quote your rate, do the work, keep the money.

Who sends home appraisers work — and who you send work to

Every job touches more than one trade. Here's who already sends work to home appraisers, and who home appraisers send work to.

Who sends you leads
These trades run into your work constantly.
Pre-listing appraisals, estate sales, investor clients who need values fast.
Private loans that don't require AMC appraisals, jumbo loans needing local expertise.
Attorneys
Divorce asset division, estate settlements, probate valuations, bankruptcy cases.
Clients ask "What's this house actually worth?" — inspectors can't answer that.
Total loss situations, coverage disputes, high-value property assessments.
Who you refer out to
Pass the work you don't do and earn a referral fee.
Roof damage, missing shingles, aging materials you notice during inspection.
$60–$100
Foundation Contractors
Foundation cracks, settling, water intrusion.
$150–$200
HVAC Contractors
Ancient HVAC, no maintenance records.
$50–$80
Plumbing issues, water heater past its life.
$45–$75
Remodelers
General neglect, deferred maintenance.
$100–$150
The math

A worked example, not a customer story.

Here's how a season can compound for a home appraiser on LeadChuck. The numbers below are an example scenario, not a customer report.

A divorce attorney needs an appraisal for a couple splitting assets. He refers the wife to you through LeadChuck. You do the appraisal — $475 fee. You paid $100 for the lead. During the inspection, you notice the roof is shot and the HVAC hasn't been serviced in years. You refer her to a roofer ($85 referral fee) and an HVAC contractor ($50 referral fee). Both jobs close.
Appraisal fee: $475. Lead cost: -$100. Referrals earned: +$135. Net revenue: $510. The attorney now refers every divorce appraisal to you.

Straight answers

Questions, answered.

Is this just more AMC-style work?

No. These are direct referrals from professionals — not assignments through a management company. You keep your full fee. No middleman taking 40%.

What types of appraisals come through?

Primarily private work: estate settlements, divorce valuations, pre-listing appraisals, date-of-death valuations, bankruptcy cases, and private lending deals.

Can I still work with lenders and AMCs?

Absolutely. LeadChuck supplements your lender work — it doesn't replace it. Many appraisers use it for higher-fee private work.

What if the property needs repairs I notice during inspection?

That's referral income waiting to happen. Connect the homeowner with contractors on the network and earn referral fees.
