Why Work for River Crest?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work with a company that cares about and actually rewards the people that make it successful?

Do you ever wish you could get out of the rat race of trying to find new AMC clients worth working for? Taking the time to complete their lengthy applications only to find that their fees are too low, they ask for quotes and then assign it to someone else at a lower price, and their order volumes are entirely inadequate?

Are you tired of fighting the crowd of other appraisers in the industry to actually get a client’s attention and commitment for a consistent supply of orders?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we invite you to consider joining one of the premier residential appraisal companies in the Midwest – River Crest Appraisals. At River Crest, we run things differently. We work hard to get the best fees possible in direct-lender relationships, continually work to increase our appraisers’ order potential across hundreds of clients, and do everything we can to meet the needs of our talented appraiser team. We supplement your existing business without bogging you down with the lengthy applications, enrollment procedures, or delays in payment that you often find with appraisal management companies.

Why Appraisers Love Us

The results speak for themselves
One of the best incentives of working with River Crest Appraisals is to finally have someone working with you and on your behalf around the clock and all year long. Say goodbye to the isolation of fighting for clients’ attention for a steady amount of work, and trying to track down late payments on work completed months ago. At River Crest, we not only work on your behalf but we listen to your individual needs to help you attain your personal and professional goals. Time and time again, we provide our appraisers the consistent work volume that helps them achieve greater success than they would on their own. The appraisal industry is extremely competitive, and working smarter and more efficiently is what will lead to the greatest job satisfaction and career success.

Appraisal Technology
Let’s face it: when things get busy in the appraisal industry, it’s very difficult to stay organized and to provide the updates clients expect at a moment’s notice. River Crest provides our appraisers state of the art technology and databases to keep track of every step of the appraisal order process. Which means no more printing off folders and boxes of appraisal orders, and supplemental work file documents. All work file documents can be saved to each digital order and recalled when needed. Not only does this save our appraisers thousands of dollars in printing, paper, and storages costs, but it also helps protect them in the case of an appraisal review. Because when it comes to providing a work file and supporting an appraisal, you can’t be found missing any documents, and you can’t afford to spend countless hours looking for them.

Why Appraisers Stay

If you’re looking for ways to grow and advance in your career, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s striving for a greater diversity of clients, increasing order volumes, or the opportunity to train and coach the next generation of appraisal experts, we offer many opportunities. When you join River Crest, you are part of a team that truly works to help individual appraisers succeed and to be there each step of the way.

One of the most challenging things about the appraisal industry is trying to stay ahead of the ever-changing industry, and the state and federal regulatory burden placed on appraisers. And it’s even more challenging if you don’t have anyone working to ensure your compliance. With River Crest, you’re part of a team that values continuing education, staying updated on industry regulations and trends, and researching ways to do our job better and more efficiently in the midst of growing regulatory constraints.

Industry Experience

River Crest Appraisals comprises a team of dedicated individuals with several decades of experience in the industry, most of that experience right here in Kansas City. We have worked for and with many of Kansas City’s largest appraisal firms and we understand the many ways that River Crest can provide a superior service with greater accountability and integrity.

Our clients have high standards and we take pride in meeting those standards with every report we deliver and every phone call we make.

“I know just about every order I seem to be giving you guys is a rush. Just want to thank you for
helping us out on those and making them work. The hard work from you and your appraisers is
very much appreciated.”
