Apgar, former commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration, has been named to the advisory board of AMCO, a Cleveland-based appraisal management company.Mr. Apgar is currently senior scholar at the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University. "For many years, there were simply no good methods to create accurate and compliant lending while still maintaining profitability and savings for the public," Mr. Apgar said. He decided to join AMCO's advisory board "to facilitate the development and distribution of products and services that create absolute compliance, accuracy, and profitability," he said.
