Welcome to our home page. We are a leading provider of real estate valuations for the mortgage lending marketplace. With many years of experience in the business, we have a proven track record of reducing time, efforts and costs in managing the appraisal process.

Whether you are buying land, building a new home, buying a new home, planning to remodel, refinance or sell an existing home, it will probably require an appraisal.  We, at Benge Appraisals, would like to take a moment to tell you about the many advantages offered by this local appraisal office.

Benge Appraisals was formed in May 1999.  In the last 12 years, this office has worked with lenders nationwide fulfilling thousands of appraisals.  The Mt. Pleasant, Iowa based business was originally started by certified residential appraiser Roberta Benge, who diligently focused on technological efficiency to provide a more accurate and time-effective work product.  In January 2008, Roberta Benge relocated to Kansas City, Missouri and certified residential staff appraisers Margaret Coleman and Tonya Barton (both FHA rostered) purchased the business and are continuing with the same goal of proficiency and dedication to work product.   The latest appraisal software incorporates utilization of digital photography, ability to electronically sign and submit reports through EDI (electronic data interchange) in pdf, env and xml formats.  We encourage individuals and lenders to visit our website to facilitate easier access in placing and status checking orders.

Our investment in training and technology has helped our customers greatly reduce their workload. By offering online appraisal ordering, coupled with automatic report status updates and electronic delivery of the final product, we are able to eliminate the run around and phone tag hassles associated with this process. And since this saves us money as well, we can keep our rates competitive with anybody in the industry.
