Appraisal industry leader on staying at the forefront of change

Hamameh further explained that Class Valuation’s POD model pairs supervisory appraisers with up to three new trainees and offers them a “competitive and incentivized wage.”

“It is essentially a career pipeline from the beginning as a trainee, to then becoming a licensed appraiser, then eventually becoming a supervising appraiser who can take on trainees of their own,” Hamameh said. “This model will also hopefully be a big contributor to bringing more diverse candidates into the industry as well, which we can all agree is much needed.”

“We understand our industry is changing; we want to be the ones leading that change – not only by introducing technology that will help modernize the space but also by scaling our staff appraiser program to bring new and diverse appraisers into the industry,” he added.
