From fee strategies to turn time analysis (coming soon), Cogent helps AMCs see where they stand — and what to do next.
An AMC operating in Texas notices lower margins on Multi-Family appraisals in Harris County. Cogent flags that vendor payouts are well above industry benchmarks, even though client fees are competitive.
