Yes! We would like you to know that we can set up an appraisal panel to help this process be as familiar and comfortable for you as possible. The way this works is that we take appraisers you are used to working with in the past and set them up in our system. These appraisers will be put into a systematic rotation to handle all your orders through our system. While you cannot select when an appraisal is assigned to a specific appraiser, you can rest assured that it will be one of the appraisers you know handling your order. You use your appraisers and we will handle the rest so you remain in charge of your appraisal orders.
Note: Please forward us the information of all appraisers you would like to have in your personal pre-approved appraiser panel. Even if you have submitted the information in one avenue or another please submit again so that we may be certain they are in our system and directly in your specific rotation.
