Integra was formed in July 1999 with 22 founding offices located throughout the United States. The entity evolved from the company, Valuation Network, Inc., that began in the mid-1980’s as a network of small, highly respected appraisal offices whose owners forged friendships and professional alliances over the years.
This group relied on each other for advancement in problem solving, benefited from assignment referrals, and shared comradery. By the early 1990’s in response to business growth and strong market demand, plans were made to adopt a new business model for success. Integra chose a franchise platform that allowed local offices to thrive under the strong support and market-leading services provided by a corporate entity. The mission still stands today, “To provide comprehensive valuation and advisory services with national coverage through local expertise.”
Integra quickly became the largest, most well-respected, independent appraisal company in North America as new offices were added on a very selective basis. The Integra business model has become so successful that it has been imitated by other appraisal firms. Integra continues to prosper and grow, expanding its coverage and specialties within North America and the Caribbean with a total of 54 local offices.
