NATIONAL VALUATION SERVICE®  Inc. is  real estate Appraiser Co-operative whose members and registrations include highly qualified independent real estate appraisers. An Appraisers documentation is fully vetted prior to the distribution of an assignment.  

We are not a typical, traditional style AMC business model that appraisers have become familiar with over the years. Appraisers need a company that will recognize the costs of completing an USPAP-compliant appraisal and reward their dedication to preserving the integrity of the industry. We provide them ancillary support without taking 40-70% of the appraisal fees

How can I distinguish a co-op from other organizations?

Since the inception of the NVS Coop there are more recent AMC originations using verbiage or term "Cooperative" to describe their business model when in fact, their businesses principle structure does not meet the Cooperative test.   The National Valuation Service is an organizational member of the National Cooperative Business Association in Washington DC.  A co-op is a business, usually incorporated, that sells goods and services. It is not a charitable organization or a social service agency. In private or stockholder-owned businesses, individuals invest to earn a financial return.  In a co-op, individuals are motivated by a shared need for certain products or services. By joining resources, members gain access to products, services or markets not otherwise available to them individually.   In other words, when forming a Co-op members are motivated to become co-owners of the business primarily so that their mutual needs can be met.   However, the true test of Co-operative business model is the return of the company's financial gains to their members, whether through discounts, lower costs or distribution of patronage refunds to its membership.

Who benefits from the co-op's existence?

A co-op exists primarily for the benefit of its members. Many co-ops also support other parts of the community through various programs and philanthropic activities as part of their commitment to cooperative values and principles.
