At Appraisers First, we seek appraisal experts who demonstrate an understanding of their geographical market and the regulations within our industry. We welcome appraisers whose expectations are as high as ours when it comes to compliance, accuracy, communication, and speed.

Appraisers First track record for honest and clear communication with our clients is not only an expectation but a requirement for our appraisers.

How We Assign Appraisals

At Appraisers First, we assign appraisals a little differently. We do not submit a batch appraisal order and accept the lowest bid. When an appraisal order is received, we hand-select the appraiser based on the following:

  • Knowledge of the geographical proximity
  • Record for completing compliant appraisals
  • Low revision history
  • Ability to submit a report within our required turn-time
  • History of consistent communication with our team throughout the process
