24 Hour Appraisal Group

What 24 Hour Appraisal Group does

24 Hour Appraisal Group is a privately held residential real estate appraisal firm founded in 1998 by Jacob Geringer and headquartered at 1523 S Old Hwy 94 A, St. Charles, Missouri. The firm operates from a single location and serves the Greater St. Louis Metro Area, specifically St. Charles County, St. Louis County, and St. Louis City. The practice is led by Geringer as Senior Appraiser and Founder, holding Certified Residential Appraiser credentials with over 25 years of dedicated appraisal experience. The firm is positioned as a specialty provider rather than a high-volume generalist.

The service portfolio covers 14+ distinct appraisal use cases, including estate/probate valuations, divorce proceedings, bankruptcy filings, tax assessment appeals, pre-listing and pre-purchase valuations, financial planning and trust appraisals, PMI removal, pre-foreclosure and short sales, manufactured homes, bail bonds collateral, home measurement, and litigation support with expert testimony. All engagements are conducted under USPAP-compliant methodology by certified appraisers performing on-site property evaluations. The firm does not disclose any proprietary technology, automation tools, or AI capabilities — operations are built on professional judgment and standardized appraisal practice.

Revenue is generated per engagement under unit pricing, with three tiers: standard (1-2 week turnaround), Rush (48-hour, +25% surcharge), and Super-Rush (24-hour, +50% surcharge). Exact pricing is quote-based and varies with property complexity. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct phone sales (314-570-6794), website-based free quote forms, a self-serve order form, and a referral network of attorneys, financial planners, realtors, accountants, property managers, and lenders. Marketing is supplemented by educational blog content targeting homeowners facing estate, divorce, and tax decisions.

Emerging players

• HouseCanary: Residential real estate valuation platform combining AVMs with licensed appraisal services. Comparable as a residential valuation provider but operates primarily in B2B/lender channels with technology-first delivery.
• Bowery Valuation: Tech-forward residential and commercial appraisal firm combining licensed appraisers with proprietary workflow software. Comparable to 24 Hour Appraisal Group in core USPAP-compliant valuation services, but with greater technology investment and broader national footprint.
• Reggora: Modern appraisal management platform serving AMCs and lenders. Comparable indirectly as it serves the same residential appraisal market with software-first delivery, though it does not perform appraisals itself.

Direct peers

• Clear Capital: One of the largest US appraisal management companies (AMCs) providing residential and commercial valuation services and software. Directly comparable as a scaled appraisal services provider, though it operates nationally and through lender channel rather than local direct-to-consumer.
• Class Valuation: National AMC focused on residential appraisal management with a hybrid human and tech-enabled workflow. Comparable to 24 Hour Appraisal Group in core residential valuation delivery, but at significantly larger scale and through lender relationships.
• Accurate Group: National appraisal and title services firm serving lenders and consumers. Comparable in core appraisal services, with a broader geographic footprint and AMC-style operations.

Broad incumbents

• CoreLogic (now ICE Mortgage Technology): Large real estate data, analytics, and valuation services provider. Comparable through its valuation and appraisal workflow tools serving lenders, though it is a broad incumbent with much wider service portfolio than a local appraisal firm.
• Stewart Lender Services (Stewart Title): Title and appraisal services provider for lenders with national reach. Comparable in the appraisal services segment but operates as part of a much broader title and settlement services platform.
