Welcome to AppraisalWorld
The community for valuation professionals
Bradford Technologies, Inc., the leading developer of innovative, hassle-free appraisal technologies, celebrated its third decade of service to the appraisal industry by launching AppraisalWorld — a revolutionary new Internet community. AppraisalWorld is designed to provide the foundation for providing appraisers the tools, resources and opportunities to expand their business, to build stronger relationships with clients and to make the appraisal profession the strongest it has ever been.
Appraiser Directory
The cornerstone of AppraisalWorld is the national appraiser directory with patent-pending search technology. The technology finds and ranks appraisers by their "local area knowledge" relative to the subject property. Because each search is relative to a particular property, a different ranking will occur for each property. The directory and technology used goes a long way toward answering this question:
How do you find the best appraiser for the job?
The answer is:
- You select the appraiser with the most "local area knowledge";
- You select the appraiser with the needed credentials; and
- You ensure the appraiser is who they claim to be. No impostors.
About Our Directory Search Technology
Our patent-pending GEAR™ search technology finds and ranks appraisers partially based on geo-spatial cluster analysis of the appraiser's work history. The intent is to identify the appraiser who has "worked" in the proximity of the subject property most recently and the most overall. Below is an illustration of how it works.
