National Real Estate Appraisal Firm Kicks off 2026 by Celebrating the Debut of Three New Franchise Businesses
INDIANAPOLIS – Velox Valuations, a trusted leader in real estate appraisal and a leading valuations franchisor, is accelerating national growth with the launch of three new franchise locations in the first month of 2026. Backed by 42 company-owned and 14 franchise-owned locations, Velox continues to strategically expand its footprint in key markets across the United States.
Building on the momentum generated in 2025, and as the brand rounds out the first quarter of the new year, Velox has launched three new franchise businesses in Houston, Indianapolis and Raleigh, along with three existing territory expansions in Orlando, Pensacola and the First Coast region in Florida. A testament to the strength of the Velox Valuations valuation network, eight Velox appraisers are celebrating 10 years with the company in 2026. This year’s rapid growth, coupled with its appraiser retention, reinforces Velox’s position as a go-to appraisal provider in major U.S. markets. Each new franchise is led by experienced professionals who share the brand’s mission to deliver fast, credible and tech-powered valuation services to clients nationwide.
“As we kick off 2026, our focus remains on serving attorneys, property owners and lenders with unparalleled customer service, providing trustworthy, hybrid appraisals, and growing our presence through franchising,” said Chad Barker, CEO of Velox Valuations. “We’re investing in advanced technology, building the right support systems and partnering with appraisers who care deeply about the communities they serve. There’s strong momentum this year, and we look forward to what’s ahead.”
Velox will launch QVEdge in the second quarter in select markets, a proprietary appraiser-assisted automated valuation tool designed to support both HELOC lending and non-lending valuation needs. QVEdge combines advanced technology with the expertise of licensed appraisers to deliver more reliable and defensible value conclusions than standalone AVMs, strengthening the consistency and credibility of Velox’s valuation services across all markets.
In line with its expanding franchise opportunity, Velox is also actively seeking experienced Certified Residential Appraisers to join their corporate team in metro areas across the county. Ideal candidates are motivated, detail-oriented, and eager to advance their careers in a supportive, tech-driven environment. Appraisers with Velox enjoy flexible scheduling, access to industry-leading tools, one-on-one support, and a compensation structure designed to maximize earning potential. Candidates must hold an active license, demonstrate geographic competency, and possess strong communication and time-management skills.
Velox Valuations distinguishes itself through its appraiser-direct model, which connects Certified Appraisers with clients without intermediaries. This streamlined approach ensures every valuation is delivered with precision, consistency, and accountability. Velox Valuations also sets itself apart through the company’s proprietary internal data aggregation software, which empowers appraisers to deliver timely, reliable valuations regardless of project scope or geography, giving both clients and franchise owners a distinct advantage in the marketplace. By leveraging advanced digital tools and centralized systems, Velox eliminates inefficiencies, reduces delays, and delivers fast, trustworthy results—helping franchisees thrive in a competitive market. Today, Velox operates in more than 26 states and is positioned for continued national expansion.
