Meet The Chairs
Jeff Bradford
CHAIR
Jeff Bradford is the founder and CEO of Bradford Technologies, the leader in the new field of Computer-Aided Appraising. He has over 26 years of experience providing appraisers with innovative software solutions and is a nationally recognized expert in computer technology and analytics. Four years ago, his company introduced the industry to statistically supported appraisals and a superior reporting format–the Collateral Valuation Report. Today, he is focused on expanding opportunities for appraisers in the valuation space. Most recently, his company introduced the industry to Computer-Aided Appraising technology which eliminates many of the manual, tedious tasks traditionally performed by an appraiser and empowers them with analysis tools to perform a more credible appraisal. One of his goals is to automate data gathering and appraisal form filling for the appraiser.
