AppraisalWorld™, an on-line community for valuation professionals, is revolutionizing how to find appraisers. The AppraisalWorld directory displays the top 20 appraisers that are geographically closest to the subject property with the most local knowledge. When the customer clicks on location or company name, the appraiser’s on-line business card will be displayed, literally putting them “one-click” away from placing an order or visiting the appraiser's business website.
