Dart Appraisal, a nationwide appraisal management company, acquired USAMC, another nationwide appraisal company based near Atlanta, GA. USAMC is expected to be folded into Dart and will further increase the company's footprint in the industry.

USAMC was founded in 2014 by Keith Lunsford. He and his team have grown USAMC to a nationwide, full-service residential appraisal management company serving clients in wholesale, retail, and correspondent lending channels. By acquiring USAMC further strengthens its position in the Southeast, according to a press release.

"Keith and his team have built an incredible company supporting an impressive client base," said Michael Dresden, president of Dart Appraisal. "Dart’s reach and enhanced product offerings will provide USAMC clients with additional services and markets. Our goal is to ensure their clients receive everything they’ve grown to appreciate from USAMC plus all of the extra features and benefits Dart can offer."

"Dart is a well-established leader in the appraisal management industry, and by combining companies, will greatly benefit both our clients and appraisers," said Lunsford. "Our clients will benefit from everything Dart offers and can now place orders in all 50 states and DC. Our appraisers will have the opportunity to work with more clients in their coverage areas."
