The NAA Needs You!

The Real Estate Appraiser’s Cancer Support Fund is dedicated to support, self-employed independent fee appraisers in the fight against cancer. We provide short term financial assistance to help appraisers and their families get through the challenges of treatment. A cancer diagnosis is difficult and presents challenges beyond treatment. These challenges include job difficulties, inability to work and emotional stress. It is our commitment to help self-employed fee appraisers fill the gap between diagnosis and survival, and move on with a productive and fulfilling life!

Mad Skills

ordinary to ex·traor·di·nar·y

We know that turnaround time is always a plus these days. So, the logical place to save time is in our daily workflow. The appraisers that have always invested in new technology have been the ones able to use their time more effectively and bring their customers more accurate reports, better customer service and faster turnaround times.

 

We aim to reduce waiting between communications since the speed at which we get things done directly effects your bottom-line.

 

We spend quite a bit of time collecting both specific information about the subject property and general data about the local market and developing trends. Instead of using paper forms and pencils and then re-keying all the information back at the office, don't be surprised to see us with a tablet PC or collecting data using an app developed for our phones that even lets us sketch a floorplan right on site. Rather than using that clumsy outdated tape measure, more and more appraisers are utilizing accurate laser measuring devices that also help measure hard to access areas.

 

We combine all of these different technologies to ensure that your final report is comprehensive and conclusive, requiring fewer call-backs and revisions. Our goal is to save you time and money.
