Job Description

Residential Appraiser Trainee — Nashville, TN

Join Greenlight — Learn. Grow. Appraise.

About the role

Greenlight Valuation Services is hiring a career oriented, detail-driven, growth-minded Trainee Appraiser. You’ll learn end-to-end residential valuation alongside a Certified Residential Appraiser with 20+ years in the field and a track record of successfully training 10+ appraisers. We provide the client management, marketing, admin, and QC support so you can focus on skill-building and valuation work.

Who we are

We’re a team-based appraisal firm that leverages modern tools (Spark, Synapse, MLS integrations, structured QC) and tight processes to produce compliance-first, underwriter-ready reports. Our culture values curiosity, integrity, communication, and shared growth.

What you’ll do

  • Assist with property inspections; measure properties and document with photos/sketches.
  • Collect, verify, and analyze property and market data (public records, MLS, maps, permits).
  • Research comparable sales, listings, and market trends; help develop compliant adjustments.
  • Draft report sections (neighborhood, site, improvements, SCA summary) under supervision.
  • Learn and apply Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac and FHA 4000.1 requirements.
  • Collaborate with a supportive team on development milestones.

Training & career path

  • Structured training schedule (from 30 days to 2 years) with weekly 1:1 coaching and file reviews.
  • Clear path from Registered Trainee to Certified Residential with progressive responsibilities: shadow → joint inspections → solo inspections → partial write-ups → full draft under review.

We support you with

  • Client management, marketing, admin, and QC handled by Greenlight.
  • Paid tools & fees: MLS access, core software, licensing, E&O.
  • Field equipment standards and templates, SOPs, and feedback loops.
  • Consistent volume to build your log hours the right way.

What we’re looking for

  • Florida Registered Trainee Appraiser (or eligible to register promptly).
  • Degree preferred (Finance, Economics, Real Estate, Math, Data/Analytics), or equivalent analytical background.
  • Strong attention to detail; clear written communication; comfort with tech and data.
  • Valid driver’s license, reliable vehicle, ability to climb stairs/measure interiors/exteriors.
  • Professionalism with owners, agents, and clients; willingness to learn and accept feedback.
