Opinion of value
Three things every appraiser is owed. Here is where they live.
1. The blank page is gone.
Type an address. The records fill the file before you start.
2. The mistake gets caught first.
A rules engine reads the file and flags what is wrong before the reviewer ever sees it.
3. The client sees you.
Your logo, your firm, your name. Gunter is invisible on the report.
In 2008, the lenders applied the pressure. The appraisers took the blame.
The Attorney General of New York sued over inflated appraisals. Honest appraisers lost licenses for fraud they were pressured into or never committed.
The fix put a middleman between you and every lender. In documented cases, that middleman keeps 60 to 70 percent of the fee the borrower paid. Some contracts even barred appraisers from saying so.
Then a free number on a screen taught the public that value costs nothing. Then the waivers came.
- 60–70%
- of the borrower’s appraisal fee kept by the middleman, in documented cases.
- 53,000
- licensed appraisers in 2016. About 38,000 today. Under 30,000 projected by 2029.
You were never the problem. You were just the only one whose name was on the report.
There is appraisal work with no middleman in it.
Estate. Divorce. Trust. Tax. Attorneys and CPAs order these every week, and they pay the appraiser directly.
No portal. No split. No one standing between your work and your fee.
Your old software was built for the bank’s form. Gunter was built for this.
Go independent. Keep the whole fee. Hold the line.
Software that answers to you.
Type an address, and the file fills from the records.
A rules engine catches the problem before anyone else does.
Your certifications, limiting conditions and scope language live in your own library, so you never write them out again.
Your logo on the PDF, and a fingerprint of the finished record on every certified report.
And the value field stays empty until you fill it. Gunter never says what a property is worth. That call is yours, and so is the name under it.
The old tools grew until using them became the job.
Thirty years of features nobody asked for, stacked on a form from the 90s, three rows of toolbar for the six buttons you use.
Gunter is what is left when you remove everything that is not appraisal.
A file moves through four stages: accepted, inspect, draft, review. The sections that do not apply to the property never appear at all. Not because we hid the work. Because most of it was never yours to do.
Built by a trainee who could not find the door.
Brandon Selfors ran a digital agency for over a decade. Then an appraiser named Rick measured his family’s home, and he wanted the craft for himself.
He became a trainee in Tampa and lived the grind: the hour logs, the paperwork, the fees that insulted the work. With a wife and six kids, the traditional path was not feasible.
So he built the door he could not find. An insider by trade, an outsider to the software business. It took both.
Value needs a judge.
Most active appraisers are over 60. First-time test takers are down about 70 percent since 2009. Thousands who want in cannot find a supervisor.
When the last judge retires, value gets decided by a black box no one can question.
Every independent who stays, and gets paid fairly for staying, keeps that from happening.
That is the line. Gunter exists to hold it with you.
Three steps. Your name at the end of them.
1
Type the address.
Gunter pulls the records and builds the file.
2
Do the appraisal.
You inspect, you judge, you set the value.
3
Sign and stand.
Your name, your fee, a report that holds in any room.
Hold the line.
The questions you are actually asking.
- What if I switch and it does not work out?
- We are invitation-only for a reason: we would rather grow slowly with appraisers we serve well than fast with appraisers we trap.
- Does the AI write my report?
- It drafts from what you entered, and nothing else. You cannot finalize text you have not read. And Gunter never states a value.
- I have to deal with the new URAR anyway. Why now?
- November 2, every legacy form retires. You will be learning new software either way. Learn the one built to serve you.
Type in any address.
The boxes fill. The value field waits for you. That empty box is the whole company.
Invitation-only pilot. Nothing hidden. No bait pricing, ever.
Property valuation, perfectly chained. Named for Gunter’s chain, 1626 — the surveyor’s instrument that defined American land measurement. Built on the MISMO 3.6 data standard.
