About River Crest

River Crest Appraisals, LLC is a relatively young company, but it boasts significant experience. The company has developed long-standing relationships with many mortgage lenders and appraisal management companies in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Our appraisers are licensed/certified/FHA approved and average 15 years of experience each in the residential appraisal industry.

Why “River Crest?”

Beginning in 2013, River Crest Appraisals has quickly risen to being one of the premier residential appraisal companies in the greater Kansas City metro area. Located in the heart of Overland Park, KS, which has been named the #1 City in the country for First-Time Home Buyers (wallethub.com), #1 in the nation for “Top 10 Best Cities for Families” (livability.com), and ranked by Forbes among the “The 25 Best Suburbs for Retirement”; River Crest has excelled in meeting the needs of individual homeowners and residential lenders. We provide comprehensive, precise, and efficient appraisals to meet the growing demand of competitive purchases and refinances in the area. And we look forward to the opportunity to assist you in your residential appraisal needs as well!

Before the days of planes, trains, and 18-wheelers, the majority of U.S. cities were built by major rivers to be near a dependable water source and also for access to shipping routes down the river. As a result, cities located by rivers and other waterways quickly flourished.

Since its formation, Kansas City has maintained a strong association with water. Known as the “City of Fountains,” our beautiful city is adorned with thousands of fountains. This is just one of ways our city is truly unique.

These realities inspired the name of our company. We believe that an important mission of our company is to have a positive impact on our community. We chose a name that is unique, but also has a very strong connection to our city.

Cheering for the Underdog

River Crest Appraisals is the new kid on the block. Individually, our appraisers have been around for a long time. But as a company, we are relatively young. Don’t let our age fool you, though. We have some of the best appraisers in the city, and we have an unparalleled amount of vision and purpose (and the experience to back it up).

The appraisal industry is brimming with oversized and inefficient firms and management companies, who have lost focus on what our industry is really all about. As a result, the appraisers, homeowners, and clients often get overlooked or under-prioritized. That’s where we come in. Our approach is to devote ample time to each client and each order. You won’t get lost in the shuffle here (and you’ll reach a voice on the other end of the line when you call).

At River Crest Appraisals, we are smart, streamlined and efficient. We provide our clients continuous updates on their orders. Furthermore, we are always happy to answer any calls, emails or other requests regarding the valuable orders that you have entrusted to our care.

We hope you’ll get behind us in our efforts to reclaim the appraisal industry with the values that made it great. We may not be big, but our honest, friendly and hard-working approach will serve you well. Please join us in changing the industry, our communities, and this city for the better!
