About AppraisalWorld

The online community for appraisers, lenders, and homeowners

Even though there are a number of organizations dedicated to appraisers, a recent National Association of Realtors (NAR) survey indicates that many appraisers do not belong to any organization at all. Consequently, as individuals, many appraisers feel disenfranchised. While individual voices are rarely heard, in a cohesive group there is considerable power. There are many challenges facing the appraisal industry, but none is greater than how to function as a cohesive national organization of professionals. AppraisalWorld is dedicated to meeting this challenge and providing appraisers with the benefits that come from unity and membership.

Bradford Technologies, Inc., the leading developer of innovative, hassle-free appraisal technologies, celebrated our 20th year of service to the appraisal industry by launching the revolutionary AppraisalWorld in 2007. AppraisalWorld is the innovative online community that provides valuation professionals the resources and opportunities to expand their business, to build stronger relationships and to develop new valuation tools that will make the appraisal profession the strongest it has ever been. At the same time, we provide a very valuable tool for the lending and homeowner communities to find an appraiser—our innovative, patent-pending national appraiser directory that locates and ranks appraisers by their level of work experience in the subject property neighborhood.

Along with our unique, patent-pending directory, we have developed a powerful process to authenticate the integrity of the identity of the appraiser. This unique service satisfies the ever-increasing major security needs of the real estate lending industry. Bradford Technologies' volume purchasing power and strategic partnerships with industry-leading companies such as Microsoft®, Marshall & Swift™, Fidelity Data Services, Flood Insights™, Veros and many more allows AppraisalWorld appraiser members to purchase, at discount prices, all the services, software, hardware and data needed for their appraisal business, including appraisal forms software, measuring devices, and continuing education credits.
