The new site manages LRES' entire vendor management operations and conducts professional appraisal reviews. It's also designed to serve as a back-up site in the event that the company's Orange County headquarters experiences a power outage, ensuring full service levels remain in place.

Staff field appraisers are now working out of the Phoenix office, and the order management staff will eventually be located there. LRES also said it ""looks forward to tapping into the supply of mortgage industry talent located in the Phoenix area.""

""The opening of our new facility illustrates the company's growth and leading position within the valuation and asset management industry,"" said CEO Roger Beane. ""Our efforts to expand the company and hire top-tier mortgage talent enable us to assure our clients that we are investing in systems, processes and employees to continue a high level of service and performance for them.""
