Stewart Valuation Intelligence (SVI), a Stewart Information Services Corp. company, recently announced that it has acquired Nationwide Appraisal Network, LLC (NAN), a nationally recognized appraisal management company with more than two decades of leading and shaping the appraisal industry, according to a press release.
By bringing the organizations together, the hope is to build on a shared foundation while creating new opportunities to better serve the clients across the valuation landscape.
“The addition of NAN strengthens SVI by expanding our appraisal scale and deepening our talent base,” Stewart CEO Fred Eppinger said in the release. “NAN shares our commitment to service excellence, quality, and strong client relationships, and this transaction reinforces our investment in valuation services within our Real Estate Solutions segment. We remain dedicated to delivering high quality, scalable solutions to a larger customer base across the mortgage ecosystem.”
For SVI, the acquisition enhances market presence and operational capacity while adding a highly experienced team with deep appraisal and valuation expertise. For NAN, joining Stewart provides the financial strength and stability of a publicly traded organization, along with access to broader enterprise resources, advanced technology, and expanded capabilities.
“We are excited to welcome the talented team from NAN,” SVI President Aaron Fowler said. “Their strong customer focus and service-driven reputation make them a natural fit with our existing valuation and appraisal teams. By bringing our organizations together, we are building on a shared foundation while creating new opportunities to better serve our clients across the valuation landscape.”
Joni Pilgrim, former CEO of NAN, shared her thoughts on this acquisition stating that Stewart is the right “next chapter” for NAN, aligning with a team that shares their commitment to service and doing things the right way.
“This exciting new chapter further underscores NAN’s ongoing commitment to accountability, transparency, service, and innovation,” NAN Chief Business Development Officer Steve Sussman said. “By joining Stewart, we expect to further accelerate our rapid growth with enhanced product offerings and innovative new technologies, making this a tremendous win not just for our respective organizations, but for the valued clients we are privileged to serve.”
