Building the network

Creating a solution to the problem

The Appraiserline network was created by a state certified real estate appraiser that has completed over 5,000 residential real estate assignments. Having completed this many appraisals, he was able to implement the most effective tools and technology and recognize the limits of his market area knowledge. Unable to accommodate everyone, everywhere, he narrowed his coverage area to a 10 mile radius from his home. Keeping abreast of school zone changes, crime, zoning laws and other factors that impact real estate values became challenging beyond those boundaries.

Then the question became; how could he continue to serve his clients and balance the driving, research and analysis, in addition to marketing for future business? In an effort to maintain the highest level of service for his clients, and recognizing his geographic limitations, he created a network of local appraisers by pre-determining their coverage area and limiting it to a 10 mile radius from their home/office. With several years of experience doing appraisals, he is able to interview appraisers to gauge and assess their ethical and professional qualifications and work history. The appraisers in our network are the most qualified because they only service the market area they are most familiar with. The geographic selection process has proven to provide very reliable and accurate valuations by the most qualified experts in the area. The Appraiserline network provides a better solution for the clients, homeowners and the appraisers. This system continues to offer consistent client and appraiser satisfaction.
