Nationwide Appraisal Services

What Nationwide Appraisal Services does

Nationwide Appraisal Services (NAS) is a Canadian-headquartered appraisal management company that provides lenders, mortgage brokers and independent appraisers with web-based tools to order, route, track and review residential property valuations. Founded in 1996 in Markham, Ontario by current President and CEO Tom McCormick, NAS was Canada's first web-based valuation platform and operates the country's largest independent appraiser network, with secondary operations in Montreal and across the US, Mexico, 15 Caribbean countries, Central America and South America in three languages.

The company's technology stack centers on an Appraisal Management System that automates order placement, appraiser auto-assignment (load balancing against approved appraiser lists, ranking, regional coverage and capacity), real-time status notifications, and time-stamped communication logging. Layered on top are a set of modules: NAS ViewPoint (concise appraisal risk scoring), NAS PropertyGauge (detailed property-level data for over 85% of Canadian properties), the Intelligent Valuation Portal (automated selection of valuation product type by client-defined business rules across geography, credit, loan amount, tenure and market factors), bilingual online appraisal forms, My Appraisal Portal (external appraisal consolidation, worksheets, invoicing and accounting), Market Reports, and a mobile app for appraiser partners. Direct data feeds into client loan origination systems and bilingual compliance checks indicate deep integration into lender and broker workflows.

NAS is a division of The Nationwide Group (TNG), is privately held, employs 101-250 people, and earns revenue through transaction-based fees for managed appraisal services to lenders and mortgage professionals, with quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led for enterprise lenders and self-serve through a 24/7 web platform for mortgage brokers and appraisers; the company claims to conduct more valuations than its Canadian competitors and to operate in more countries than any other AMC in the world.
