Over the past year, Urban Lending Solutions Appraisals, LLC (ULSA) has experienced tremendous growth because of the efforts of our high quality appraisal panel and our outstanding ULSA team. Our clients have recognized that this combination has created the perfect formula for success. This has enabled ULSA to earn new business from existing clients and win opportunities with new clients. We will continue to look at all avenues to provide value to our appraisers and clients; including, innovative new products and solutions. As ULSA continues to expand our operation, our team holds true to the promise of working closely with all our valuation partners to help change the traditional landscape of AMCs.
In the first two months of 2012, we have been awarded contracts with significant financial institutions and credit unions. As we continue on this triumphant path, our passion and values also expand, and we will continue to provide high quality products, industry support and a more cast-iron valuation service in 2012 and beyond.
As president and chief valuation officer, I am proud to lead ULSA's culture of excellence and our nationwide network of certified appraisers. In an effort to continue on this journey, I recognize the crucial need for a strong foundation in the upcoming year. For that reason, during 2012, ULSA will provide insight into some important themes that will allow more transparency into how we operate, as well as what is occurring in the valuation industry, including but not limited to:
The importance of Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) 2012-2013 changes.
Addressing the Appraisal Management Companies (AMC) and how they affect the appraisal community.
Our approach to business: what makes ULSA tick?
Expanding opportunities for new evaluation products.
Keeping up on hot controversial industry topics.
Building a transparent appraisal environment.
In 2012, our team will continue to work closely with appraisers and clients to impact the industry in a positive way. ULSA will continue maintaining our commitment to providing news that is equally beneficial to our clients and our appraiser partners. I look forward to a great year in 2012!
Scot Rose,
President and Chief Valuation Officer
