Job Summary
Taking each appraisal report from raw data to a near-complete draft — pulling comps, organizing data, building out the report in the appraisal software — until it’s reviewed, finalized, and ready to sign. That’s the job.
The right candidate already understands appraisal workflow. You don’t need to have done this exact role before, but you need to know how appraisal reports work — the structure, the comps, the adjustments. Training on the specific process will be provided, but the fundamentals need to already be there.
This is a full-time, long-term position. Once past onboarding, the expectation is to work independently with minimal hand-holding. If constant direction is something you rely on, this probably isn’t the right fit.

- Work assignments from intake to near-complete draft report using Total by À La Mode
- Pull comparable sales (comps) from MLS and other data sources
- Support comp selection process with an understanding of which comps are appropriate vs. inappropriate
- Prepare and format residential appraisal reports (1004, 1073, etc.)
- Assist with commercial appraisal report production where applicable
- Organize and manage workfile documentation
- Track orders, deadlines, and report statuses
- Handle administrative tasks: scheduling, reminders, data entry, correspondence as needed
- Maintain strict confidentiality of all appraisal data and client information in compliance with USPAP guidelines

- Hands-on experience with Total by À La Mode — MUST
- Understanding of the difference between pulling comps and selecting comps — MUST

- Ability to work US Central Time hours (graveyard shift) — MUST
