About REsearchStore.ai

Assembled by an appraiser. For the people who price properties.

30 years on the appraisal side. Five AI-powered tools. One mission: never let an agent or loan officer walk into a pricing conversation unprepared.

Origin story

Why this exists.

For two decades, agents and loan officers have been pricing properties with online estimates that have no relationship to how appraisers actually value homes. Zillow sets the wrong expectations. Deals blow up at the appraisal. Sellers lose tens of thousands. Loan officers waste weeks on transactions that were mispriced from day one.
The gap between agent pricing tools and appraiser methodology has been widening for years. We built the tools that close it.

Founder Bio

Meet Brent Jones.

Former Fannie Mae Senior Analyst. 30+ years on the appraisal side of the industry.

Brent Jones spent his career inside the appraisal industry — first as a residential appraiser, then as a Senior Analyst at Fannie Mae, where he saw firsthand how often deals were being mispriced before they ever reached the appraiser’s desk.

After watching too many transactions fall apart because agents and loan officers were working with the wrong data, he built the tools that close the gap between what real estate professionals use to price properties and what appraisers actually use to value them.

“Never be unprepared for an appraisal.” — Brent Jones, Founder

What We Believe

Three principles. Every tool. Every time.

Principle 1 — Appraiser methodology, not algorithmic guesswork.
Every comp selection runs through the same parameters appraisers use — distance, GLA, age, date of sale. Not Zillow. Not a guess. Not an AVM black box.

Principle 2 — The data appraisers see, in your hands first.
AI similarity scoring from PropMix and Banks Technology shows you what an appraiser sees — before they arrive. You walk into every conversation with the same evidence the appraiser will pull.

Principle 3 — Agents and loan officers are part of the appraisal process.
Per Fannie Mae AIR FAQ #1, agents are a valuable resource for appraisers. Every tool we build is designed around that principle. Yes, it is OK to provide the appraiser with factual data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real estate agents, loan officers, and lender teams who need appraisal-grade pricing data — whether they have local MLS access or not. The Standard Plan covers every audience for free.

USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) is the standard residential appraisers are required to follow. Our methodology — comp selection, distance filtering, GLA and age parameters, similarity scoring — is built around the same standards an appraiser would apply.

No. Our research tools are for informational and educational purposes — they do not constitute an appraisal. They give you the same data and methodology an appraiser would use, but a formal appraisal requires a licensed appraiser.
