Why Choose Accurate for Valuations? 
Quality
Accurate is not a typical AMC, which is why our assignment logic selects appraisers based on service and quality not price. Our selection criteria are as follows:
- Geographic competency Assignment competency
- Overall Appraisal Quality Rating
- Overall Service Rating (Accurate SLA's)
- Capacity (number of outstanding reports)
Appraisal quality is a critical aspect of the appraisal management process and why Accurate strives to get the assignment completed right the first time.
Every appraisal assignment is accompanied with a defined, client specific set of appraisal guidelines to ensure quality.
Pre-delivery quality control audits are performed on 100% of all delivered assignments. Our quality control process is a multi-pronged approach that begins on the appraisers desktop reviewing over 1,300 quality elements and culminates with a staff appraiser review.
