About Us
Banks Valuation is a growing appraisal firm, founded and led by experienced appraisers who understand the industry firsthand. As we expand into new markets and strengthen our presence in existing ones, we're looking for appraisers committed to high-quality valuations and long-term growth.
We've built trusted relationships with a wide range of clients, which gives our appraisers a consistent flow of assignments. We also invest in marketing, proprietary technology and operational support to create more opportunities and streamline your workflow.
About the Position
Every appraiser starts as a 1099 independent contractor with competitive per-report pay for their first 90 days. That period lets both sides confirm the fit: volume, quality, reliability and alignment with how we work.
After 90 days, our goal is to move strong performers onto our salaried W-2 staff team, especially in high-volume markets. Staff appraisers receive performance-based bonuses and health benefits. The appraisers who earn these roles are the ones who show consistent quality and turn times.
