AccuVal Gives Back Portion of Appraisal Proceeds in December

At AccuVal, we are so grateful for your business, which enables our success.

It is because of this that we are giving back a percentage of appraisal proceeds sold in December to the Opportunity Finance Network® (OFN) via its new partnership with Starbucks called Create Jobs for USA. OFN is a national network of Community Development Financial Institutions dedicated to delivering responsible, affordable lending to help low-income, low-wealth, and other disadvantaged people and communities join the economic mainstream.

The money donated will be used to help finance community businesses that help create and sustain local jobs in underserved communities.

"This decision was easy," said Rick Schmitt, COO of AccuVal. "We see first-hand every day the benefits of commercial loans for businesses. It is with great pride that we support these companies who in turn create jobs that fuel our economy."

In 2009, AccuVal launched Think uplifting.™, a philanthropic effort to promote positive thinking, possibilities and success in the communities that our employees and our clients live in.

AccuVal's success is directly attributable to the talent of our people, which is why we seek out bright and motivated people to join our firm and support their career development. During the past quarter, the firm welcomed the following employees to the team:
