Real estate appraisal services provider IRR-Residential, in the wake of a restructuring and spin-off from Integra Realty Resources, has changed its name to Accurity Valuation.
Accurity, which serves lenders and attorneys through franchise offices nationwide, recently appointed former IRR-Residential chief appraiser and compliance officer Thomas M. Munizzo as president in restructuring its ownership, board of directors and corporate management.

In addition to its franchise initiative, Accurity has launched a new website through which customers can find and receive quotes for service based on an appraiser’s areas of expertise and local market knowledge.
“Our new website provides a single point of contact for lenders, attorneys and other clients to access our franchise offices, products and services nationwide,” said Richard Shackelford, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the company, in a press release.
The company provides residential and light commercial appraisals, default valuations, relocation services, pre- and post-funding quality control, forensic reviews and specialized services to mortgage lenders, government agencies, attorneys and others.
It also assists lenders, risk managers, lawyers and chief appraisers with repurchase demands and litigation cases, with particular expertise in valuation analytics, expert witness testimony and disbursement services.
