IF you are referring to American Home mortgage ALL states is what has been the murmur. 1/1/2012 is the cutoff date of FAS and AMHSI


ON ANOTHER NOTE I have not been able to get the base plus concept to sink in either. If it is as bad as has been posted on here they (FAS) are either in SERIOUS financial trouble , trying to tank their own company or as has been sujested trying to get "Mom and Pop" shops to quit. I suspect they are "sleeping " with another company because the revolt over the pricing is going to lead to alot of contractors saying yes we will take the WO when they have NO intention of pulling the truck out of the drive way. Or there is a 2 tirered pay scale for the people who have say 5 plus crews and over and those who dont??? The companies that have office staff have additional over head and they will absolutely DIE with the same pricing that has been shown here. How they can expect a good job for what they are sending out for pricing is beyond me. Insurance, sales tax ( in some states up to 10%) fica and medicare, labor and industries, auto insurance and E&O insurance and not to mention a 1 MILLION GL policy all add up to going backwards REALLY FAST. The addition of more and more services and no compensation is a mind blower :no: They have too many internal issues ( 17 page) work orders that contradict themselfs that PREVENT us in the field from effectively being able to do the work. They KNOW the work orders are a CFD( cluster diagram) of confusion and thats how they think every contractor works. NOT I understand they have not sent out any specs on the BOA rollout and I would have to say that is important because they have been courting BOA for 2 years. PPPPPP Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I say we should organize a OCCUPY FAS MOVEMENT AND get a NATIONAL news program out there or 60 minutes to see what is being done.

Lol occupy FAS? What are you going to do? Go to Austin, TX and camp in front of their HQ and cry, moan, do drugs, take a **** in the streets, do dope and demand free stuff for nothing like the other occupy idiots?

If FAS is the problem, they surely can't be the answer. Sounds like you're a fan of unions. No serious business owner has time for stupid **** like that.

Ps-you can be shot on the spot in TX for trespassing. Boom bang.

The entire contract will be pulled.

 

[Splinterpicker]

yes I was told ALL of the states are going away with AMHSI

As far as being shot well that just shows a less than stable mentality. It takes more brains to walk than fight. I was just saying that kind of negative publicity is NOT what they want. Dale was crying about how FAS was being drug through t he mud last year on the internet. Dio a search and the informationn that pops up is not pretty. Do you think with negative NATIONAL coverage they would be able to get vendors. And yes they do treat us like mushrooms ... kept in the dark and fed dung. As for unionization it would be interesting at least the spray of dung we have to endure would be lessesed because we would have a mediator and recourse. As for the back charges of 200 if there is a QC decline they have not set in stone what a QC decline is. Is it where they request photos or is it if after the request and they dont get their photos it becomes A QC decline. I have had issues with teh QC people not referencing photos when tehy ask for something. This is just lazy on their part. I am just saying dont wine just do the work and you might get paid is a line of crap. I have not seen an industry go down hill so fas as this one over teh last 4 years and I agree GREED IS RUINING IT. Pay a man an honest wage enable them to complete the work and all are happy . As I see it FAS is 0 for 2

No drugs and conduct your self respectfully if you want to get your point across. Also FAs is part of a company that is publiclly held. I say an attack of negative media might have an effect on the share holders. I would hope they would send a message to the owners and put their monies, investments where it will give a better return.

Sounds like you're more of an employee than a business owner.

Just a rumor I heard. It wouldn't be the first time Safeguard outbid another national provider out of work.

 

[david]

so if safguard gets it cu yd will pay problaby lower then fas did

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's going to happen.

I would assume that if you work for FAS,you are starting to sweat a little bit.I don't deal with them but seems alot of contractors have alot riding on them.

I love dealing with AMS but alot of contractors don't like them,so I guess its everybody preferences

We do the post conveyance HUD REO stuff for them. It's been pretty good so far but not my favorite client. I'd rather do work for regionals. But it's great work for training newbies.
