Proven Experience
This isn't a new game for us. First Choice Northwest is an independently owned Appraisal Management company, founded by a Certified Appraiser with over 18 years in the business. Our mission is to preserve the integrity of the appraisal industry while providing a valuable service to our clients who choose to work with us.
Dedicated Service
It's our job to worry about staying compliant. It's your job to originate loans and create value for your customers. We have the processes, technology and personnel in place to support the new complexities generated by the AIR guidelines. We ensure that appraisers are FHA-Certified, so you don’t have to. We enable appraiser independence so you don’t have to. We ensure that appraiser fees are customary to the market area of the property, so you don’t have to. We're here for you.
Elite Appraisal Team
We are owned and operated by a Certified Appraiser so we know the appraiser's job inside and out. We know what to look for in quality work and we know what it takes to produce it. With our dedicated management model, open communication, and a high level of respect for the appraisal profession, we attract an elite level of appraisers. Our team of proven professionals are ready to meet your needs - quickly and accurately.
Quality Control
Our quality control department reviews each and every report to ensure compliance with appraisal guidelines as well as your standards. We're a "hands-on" kind of management company - checking and rechecking every appraisal according to our strict quality control guidelines. Yet, because we know this business inside and out, we can turn around top-notch work fast.
Perfect Relationships
We have opted to partner with lenders who appreciate our dedication and reliability. This business is also about RELATIONSHIPS…it’s what has made lending work efficiently for the last 20 years. Because we understand the dynamics between lending and appraising, we have developed our new business relationships on values such as respect, trust, accountability and honesty.
Complete Confidence
We're on top of all current regulations and legislation concerning appraisals, and we stand by our work. Every appraisal ordered is “Certified”. It's your certificate of proof that your appraisal meets every standard for compliance, including those required by the AIR, USPAP, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA.
Regional Expertise
We believe a small regional company dedicated to just appraisers and operated by appraisers is the best alternative for those lenders who do not wish to maintain an in-house panel of approved Appraisers. We currently cover Oregon, Washington, California, and Idaho.
