“With all that you offer, it was a no-brainer to sign up.”—Jim Nishimura

“I am so pleased with your service and thoroughness. Thank you very much for being so responsible with our money and our E&O insurance. Although I have never had a claim, my confidence level in this process has increased. It is no surprise that several appraisers recommended your company to me.”—Lore D.

“I continue to renew with your company because of the exceptional service you provide. Every time I call my questions and needs get taken care of.”—Mariah M.

“Thank you for the webinars. I am learning so much that is helping me improve in my appraisal practice and increase the quality of my reports and workfile, thus reducing my exposure to lawsuits. The webinars and education are a great complement to your insurance business. I was an OREP customer in the past and because of the benefits I will be back at renewal time. I don’t know why I ever switched. Thanks for what you do.”—Bruce K.

“I had an FHA complaint and lost. It costs me 9 months of FHA work. If I had the knowledge I do after listening to your webinar, I would have been MUCH better prepared and probably would have won. Thanks for your help!”—Michael B.

“Thank you for your speedy responses, I have the best insurance agent in the world. I wish all of the places I do business with had employees like you.
