History
US Appraisal Group was started in 2003 by a group of appraisers that saw a huge gap in the market between appraisal management and appraisal quality. US Appraisal Group was designed to ensure that everyone who orders appraisals was able to engage the best appraiser for the assignment and get a quality report delivered on time. The company was designed to alleviate frustrations from ordering appraisals and managing appraisers and has since expanded to offer services internationally.
