Former Tennessee Regulator Nikole Avers Joins Dart Appraisal’s QC Staff

Dart Appraisal has announced that Nikole Avers, former executive director of the Tennessee Real Estate Appraiser Commission, has joined the company as a review appraiser.

A certified real estate appraiser and Appraisal Qualifications Board-certified USPAP instructor, Avers served as the executive director of seventeen regulatory boards at the Department of Commerce and Insurance in Tennessee from 2006-2016. Avers also served as the 2014-2015 president of the Association of Appraiser Regulatory Officials (AARO).

In her role at Dart, she will perform quality control audits of residential appraisal reports, work closely with Dart’s chief appraiser to provide counseling to appraisers and lenders on complex appraisal assignments, and advise on regulatory compliance issues.
