WP Appraisers is a growing residential appraisal firm — not an AMC — serving mortgage lenders. We hire trainees as full-time W-2 employees and invest in turning them into skilled, licensed appraisers. Our mission is to empower our team to reach their full potential, and to make the appraisal the easiest part of the loan process.

What you’ll do.

Almost every home loan needs an appraisal: an independent, professional opinion of what a property is worth. As a trainee, you’ll learn every part of the job hands-on.

• Inspect homes inside and out. Measure, photograph, and note condition and features.
• Research the market. Comparable sales, listings, and neighborhood market trends.
• Help prepare appraisal reports that comply with USPAP and Texas requirements, taking on more of each report as you’re ready.
• Coordinate inspections with our Appraisal Desk, your director, and homeowners or agents.
• Drive to properties across the Dallas–Fort Worth area in urban, suburban and rural markets.

Training, pay and benefits.

• Hands-on training. Learn under a Certified Residential Supervisory Appraiser, alongside a team of experienced appraisers you can learn from every day.
• Quality Control review. Our QC team reviews every file before delivery, so you learn with a real safety net.
• $40,000 starting salary, paid biweekly while you train.
• Commission when you’re ready. Move to 35% of the net fee as soon as your supervisor determines you’re ready, with higher splits as you become Licensed and Certified. Faster learners move to commission sooner.
• A clear path. Log your supervised experience hours on the way from Trainee to Licensed Residential to Certified Residential Appraiser.
• We cover your costs. We reimburse your completed trainee coursework and pay for your ongoing education, licensing fees, MLS access and professional insurance.
• Tools and support. A laptop, monitor and industry-leading appraisal software. Our Appraisal Desk handles administrative duties.

Why this career.

• A professional license that belongs to you and moves with you throughout your career.
• Steady demand. Lenders need qualified local appraisers, and many experienced appraisers are nearing retirement.
• Consistent work from day one. Our business development team keeps order volume flowing, so you’re not building a client list from scratch.

Required: you must have completed the qualifying education for a Texas Appraiser Trainee and meet all TALCB requirements before applying. If you have not started the coursework yet, that is the first step — and we will reimburse it once you join us.

What we’re looking for.

• Curious and detail-oriented, comfortable with numbers, research and writing.
• A clear, professional communicator with homeowners, agents and clients.
• Coachable, self-motivated and reliable. You follow through without being chased.
• Coursework or experience in real estate, finance, business, economics, construction, lending or insurance is a plus, but not required.
• Valid driver’s license, reliable vehicle and auto insurance.
• Physically able to climb stairs and ladders, enter attics and crawlspaces, and work outdoors in Texas weather.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. and able to pass a background check.

Schedule, location and how to apply.

Full-time, Monday to Friday. Based in our Frisco office at 2801 Network Blvd, with fieldwork across DFW.

WP Appraisers is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a talented and diverse team.
