Cash Flow Tip
Establish a 'payment-at-door' or 'payment-on-engagement' policy for all non-AMC private clients to eliminate the risk of payment being withheld based on the final valuation result.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle private clients who want to pay only after the loan closes?
Using a digital invoice allows you to implement a 'pay-to-download' system, ensuring your fee is collected independently of the loan's success. This protects your cash flow and maintains the professional independence required by USPAP.
Should I charge a deposit for complex or high-value estate appraisals?
Absolutely. Digital invoicing makes it easy to send an immediate request for a 50% retainer. This secures the client's commitment and covers your initial research time before you commit to the full inspection and analysis.
What is the most efficient way to collect a 'trip fee' if the property isn't ready for inspection?
With a mobile-responsive invoice generator, you can send a payment link for a trip fee directly to the client's smartphone while you are still at the property. This captures the revenue instantly and avoids the administrative cost of chasing a small bill later.
