Landmark Appraisal Group

What Landmark Appraisal Group does

Landmark Appraisal Group is a privately held, employee-based residential real estate appraisal firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas (Shawnee Mission area). The firm employs 24 certified, FHA-approved W-2 appraisers averaging over ten years of experience, supported by a full-time office staff (51-100 total employees), differentiating itself from the industry-standard independent-contractor model by maintaining direct quality control and consistent service delivery. Geographic coverage spans 14 U.S. states served by locally-based appraisers.

The firm's core product suite comprises approximately ten standard residential appraisal report types—including conventional, FHA, and REO variants of the 1004MC (single-family), 1073MC (condo), and 1025MC (2-4 unit multi-family) interior reports, plus 2055MC/1075MC exterior-only products and 1004D final inspections—alongside desktop review products. Pricing is publicly disclosed on a per-order basis ranging from $75 (1004D final inspection) to $500 (multi-family 1025MC), with FHA and REO variants carrying a $50 premium over conventional rates. Order management runs through the third-party VMSCloud platform with dedicated client, staff, and appraiser portals.

Landmark generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis serving three primary B2B customer segments: mortgage lenders and banks (e.g., Hillcrest Bank), national appraisal management companies (e.g., United States Appraisals, Old Republic DMS, DataQuick Lending Solutions), and individual mortgage loan originators. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales backed by phone (866-643-8868) and email ([email protected]) channels, with the company website serving as the primary digital presence and named-client testimonials functioning as social proof. The firm reports a 5-day or less end-to-end turnaround SLA (borrower contact within 24 hours, inspection within 48 hours, report within 48 hours of inspection) and claims 100% compliance with Appraiser Independence Requirements (AIR).

Direct peers

• Nationwide Appraisal Network (NAN): National AMC aggregating appraisal orders for lenders across U.S. markets. Competes for the same AMC-managed lender order flow that Landmark targets via its enterprise sales channel.
• AppraiserLoft: Staff appraisal firm delivering residential valuation reports to lenders and AMCs across multiple states. Closely aligned with Landmark on employee-based service model and AMC enterprise channel.
• Class Valuation: National staff appraisal firm employing licensed W-2 appraisers to deliver residential valuation reports for lenders and AMCs. Operates the same employee-appraiser, quality-focused model as Landmark at a larger multi-state scale, serving the same enterprise buyer.
• Solidifi: One of the largest U.S. residential appraisal management companies serving national lenders. Competes with Landmark for AMC and lender panel placements and uses a similar technology-enabled order routing and quality control workflow.
• Consolidated Analytics: Residential appraisal management company providing valuation and technology services to lenders and AMCs. Overlaps directly with Landmark's AMC channel and product set (full appraisals, desktop reviews, compliance QC).
• Axis Appraisal Management: Appraisal management company providing residential valuation services to lenders nationwide. Directly comparable to Landmark on AMC-driven order flow and product mix.

Broad incumbents

• CoreLogic (ICE): Large property data, analytics, and valuation platform serving the residential mortgage ecosystem. Overlaps with Landmark through collateral valuation products, AVMs, and appraisal workflow technology, but operates at a far broader portfolio scale.
• Stewart Information Services: National title insurance and real estate services company with appraisal and valuation offerings. Comparable as an established, multi-line real estate services incumbent rather than as a direct head-to-head appraisal competitor.

Others

• Old Republic DMS: Named Landmark customer providing title and appraisal management services to lenders. Adjacent rather than direct competitor because its primary scale is in title/escrow, but it operates an AMC function that overlaps with Landmark's offering.
• US Appraisals: National appraisal management company listed as a Landmark customer. Sits in the same AMC value chain but acts as the buyer side of Landmark's enterprise channel, making it a hybrid customer/competitor.
