At the core of our organization is a resolute commitment to catalyze change within the appraisal industry. We provide mentorship, education, and resources to empower aspiring and established minority appraisers.

Why are we doing this

The appraisal industry, like many others, has faced disparities for far too long. We believe that a diverse pool of appraisers enriches valuations, ensuring that property assessments accurately reflect the realities of today’s diverse world. By empowering minority appraisers, we’re working towards a more equitable and inclusive industry where talent knows no boundaries.

We are dedicated to the growth and success of minority appraisers, including individuals from underrepresented communities and backgrounds. Our services are designed to break down barriers, enabling a more diverse group of appraisers to thrive in this industry.

the future impact

The 10K Minority Appraisers Foundation envisions a future where diversity is not just embraced but celebrated in the appraisal industry. We’re pioneering change that will have a ripple effect on valuations, communities, and the overall real estate landscape. Our legacy will be an industry where every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every appraisal is a true reflection of the rich tapestry of our society.

partnering for impact

We are proud to partner with municipalities, realtors, and lenders, creating a collaborative pipeline of appraises that benefits not only these organizations but also serves as a vital component of community development and workforce empowerment. This partnership amplifies our commitment to building a more inclusive and equitable future for the appraisal industry.
