With a singular focus on appraisal management, Dart Appraisal has developed a direct relationship with both appraisers and clients. The company manages a nationwide appraiser panel that requires appraisers to meet stringent quality standards to ensure local competence and reliable appraisals. McElroy will be in charge of helping to grow Dart’s presence in the appraisal space by enhancing its client partnerships.
“As Dart Appraisal focuses on our next major growth phase, Jim’s experience and successful track record in customer-focused sales and marketing, plus his ability to develop client partnerships, will be a strong addition to our executive team,” Dart Appraisal Executive Vice President Michael Dresden said. “He understands that our commitment to meeting each client’s specific needs is our priority. Under his leadership, our sales team will continue to develop and integrate this key principle into successful client partnerships.”
