National Appraisal Service:
We only use certified FHA approved appraisers and searched the entire country to assemble a network of vendors we have close relationships with. We know these people by name, and they know us, and our relationships allow us to deliver a better product faster by having vendors and appraisers who care. 

Most claim to be an " Appraisal Management Company" however, they are essentially " Appraiser Management Companies". Whether it's a company with vendors or staff appraisers the person you are speaking with on the phone is rarely the actual appraiser completing the report. The quality of the product and timeliness is directly related to the effectiveness of managing the relationship between the office staff, staff appraiser, vendor and client. Over the years we have established such good relationships that some have come and joined our staff to become apart of our nationwide team of staff appraisers. 

How we scrub for the best

Staff and Vendor Appraisers :
We are an appraisal company in the traditional sense. We have staff appraisers that work just for us and only do our appraisals. This is not in all market areas; however, this gives up a great advantage regardless as we can not only get the appraisal done much faster but also provide an appraiser's prospective on in house reviews and quality control. This gives your company a fresh prospective of problem solving and the ability to come from an expert's prospective on day-to-day business. Our office is comprised of mortgage professionals, licensed appraisers, and appraisers in training. We will not hire anyone else. Quality Control: 100% of our appraisals are reviewed line-by-line by a certified appraisers not just a " reviewer". Because of this we are able to catch allot of potential errors on an appraisal before its delivered to you. All of our reviewers take detailed notes on the file and check secondary information to assure accuracy. All of our appraisers are graded on a file by file basis which ranks there turnaround time, percentage of revision requests, overall quality of report and responsiveness on revisions. This enables us to only use the best appraisers in the business. See Sample Reviewers Notes
