Senior Software Engineer Job at RSDS Appraisal Diversity in Overland Park

About Company:

RSDS Appraisal Diversity was created to help solve a 30+ year problem in the appraisal profession: barriers to entry. The current system has created a labor shortage and lacks diversity, inclusion, and military service member representation. This has created poor service levels, long wait times, and high fees for homeowners and home buyers. The industry is trying to solve the problem with technology solutions, appraisal waivers, and bifurcated products. The RSDS Appraisal Diversity solution is to aggressively hire and train the next generation of professional appraisers and to create high-paying careers for deserving people who are currently blocked out of the system.

RSDS is built upon a belief that large groups of educated professionals sharing best practices can perform exceptionally with unlimited potential. We use that collaborative thought to invent new valuation technology to streamline the appraisal process and better serve our clients with the fastest turn times, least revisions, and the highest level of accuracy.

RSDS is re-energizing the future generation of appraiser leaders. RSDS is on track to hire, train, and employ 500 diverse appraisers over the next 5 years in the 75 most populated markets. This will better serve the housing market, preserve the profession, bring a fresh take with new technology and a drive to advance valuation to limits not seen before.
