In this age of lender consolidation, Internet based lending and centralization of appraisal ordering, appraisers are finding themselves becoming more distant from an increasing percentage of their clients. Appraisal management companies have stepped into this void, and in so doing, have taken a significant portion of the appraiser’s fee. The AMCs now are the ones that have the relationship with the large national lenders. In addition, new regulations from FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac prohibits lenders in some cases from dealing directly with appraisers.

IRR-Residential was formed in response to this trend by bringing together the best local residential appraisers into a national company of independently owned and operated offices that can re-establish a direct relationship with clients, thus increasing revenue to local firms.

Benefits to franchisees include national sales and marketing support, national branding, group buying power and the synergy of being associated with the best residential appraisal firms across the country. The IRR-Residential organization effectively becomes a proxy through which affiliate firms are able to enjoy benefits unattainable by them as standalone companies.

IRR-Residential is looking for residential appraisal firms that desire to elevate themselves above their local competitors by joining a national organization of successful appraisal companies. Ideal candidate firms will have demonstrated success in their marketplace and have a desire to grow their business. IRR-Residential intends to add more than 60 offices per year to provide nationwide valuation services. The company is focusing on firms whose primary business is residential appraisal.
