LRES announced Wynetta Byers has been promoted to chief appraiser.
In this role, Byers is responsible for developing, recommending and implementing sound valuation risk management strategies, such as the development and refinement of LRES property valuation products and services to increase efficiency and reduce costs for customers.
She will oversee appraisal and valuation techniques, develop and implement strategies to increase productivity and compliance, develop staff and client training programs, develop solutions within the appraisal review process and ensure appraisals meet applicable standards and regulatory guidelines.
“Wynetta’s established leadership coupled with her strong understanding of appraisal regulatory requirements such as USPAP greatly streamlines LRES’ valuation department,” LRES CEO Roger Beane said in the company’s news release. “Her extensive knowledge of property valuation methods and mortgage loan collateral issues make her the obvious choice for the position.”
Before assuming her role as chief appraiser, Byers served as senior staff appraiser at LRES, where she managed client appraisal appeals processes, assisted new clients with product development, established appraisal requirements and analyzed and reconciled different valuation products for clients.
