• References by appraisal managers (not loan agents and brokers) that are subsequently confirmed by QVS
• High levels of competency for specific products in geographical areas (confirmed with previous appraisal managers)
• State Certification Only (State License is not eligible for consideration)
• Minimum of 10 years of credible experience
• Personal interview with each appraiser to assess the candidate's reliability and credibility along with the candidate's technical and communication skills
All appraisers go through an ongoing review process.
