Before any appraisal management company in the State of North Carolina can enter into any contracts with independent appraisers to perform residential real estate appraisal services, the said appraisal management company must secure a license first.

The purpose of the surety bond is to ensure the faithful compliance of the appraisal management company to the conditions stated in the surety bond which includes the provisions of the North Carolina Appraisers Act.
The Obligee – or the surety bond’s beneficiary – will have the right to take action against the surety bond if the appraisal management company breaches any of the surety bond’s conditions.
This requirement is in line with Section 93E-2-4 of the North Carolina General Statutes.
