Our Appraisers
Rick Phillips is the chief appraiser at this appraisal firm.
Our Story
Rick entered the appraisal profession in 2004 after a disappointing refinance experience revealed to him the need for higher standards in the field. Guided by a skilled mentor, he spent three years as a trainee before earning his Licensed Appraiser credential in 2007 and achieving Certified Residential Appraiser status in 2008.
In 2010, Rick was awarded the SRA designation from the Appraisal Institute, a recognition of advanced competence in residential appraisal. More recently, he attained the AI-RRS designation, specializing in appraisal review.
Today, Rick leads Appraisals Guaranteed, supported by an assistant and three trainees, continuing his commitment to quality and professional growth in the industry.
