Regional Leader in Residential Appraisals | High-Margin Revenue

The Company is a leading provider of residential real estate appraisals, boasting a 26-year history and over 100,000 completed assignments. Founded by a second-generation appraiser with over 35 years of industry experience, the firm has evolved from a local family operation into a real regional player. The business offers a comprehensive suite of services, including appraisals for single-family dwellings, 2-4 family investment properties, and complex litigation support (divorce, estate planning, and tax appeals). With primary licensing in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Florida, the Company maintains a national reach through a robust appraiser partner network and a highly efficient, asset-light operating model.

A strategic shift in revenue mix has significantly enhanced the Company’s resilience and profitability; while mortgage-based assignments accounted for 91% of revenue in 2022, the business successfully diversified to a mix where 57% of 2025 revenue is derived from high-margin private and litigation assignments. This transition has shielded the Company from interest rate volatility while increasing average engagement fees. The operation is highly scalable, utilizing a network of over 50 expert subcontractors to maintain minimal fixed overhead.

The Company has demonstrated strong financial performance and accelerating growth, generating $1,084,339 in gross revenue in 2025, a 29.4% year-over-year increase. This growth is underpinned by a diversified client base of hundreds of active accounts and a reputation for technical precision. While industry benchmarks for similar firms often approach multiples of 4.5x Seller’s Discretionary Earnings, this opportunity is valued at approximately 3.5x the average SDE for the 2022–2025 period, providing a strategic or financial buyer with a profitable platform poised for continued operational expansion.
