Duane V. Miller is the Chief Appraiser at Integrity Appraisal and the primary decision maker for all analyses performed. This is no new position for Duane as he successfully managed a regional appraisal office for the largest independent appraisal company in the United States, where his office produced in excess of 200 appraisals per month. But this is not where he got his roots. His career started at age 18 performing appraisals in the tri-state area of Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina for several years and then he moved on to pay his dues and be mentored by one of the most respected appraisal firms in the southeast and learn commercial appraisal. While at this firm, he mostly did the work that the other more qualified appraisers were not willing to do. Although painful at the time, he looks back now with gratitude to have been given the opportunity to work in an environment with many great mentors.

After spending some time in commercial and residential banking in order to gain experience and understanding of the entire process, Duane returned to his roots of appraisal which is his true LOVE and passion. It is no task for him to go to work because appraising is his inspiration. He feels that he is now living his dream having his own business that is based upon “gratitude in servitude.” In his words, “everyday we serve mankind with quality appraisal reports that are 100% in integrity, 100% of the time, no exceptions.” Duane has surrounded himself with what he considers to be the cornerstone of his business: great employees. He chooses individuals that understand the importance of service and integrity. These philosophies and principles are what make Integrity Appraisal the business that it is today.

Duane is married to an amazing woman and has one son and he resides near his office in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Duane loves the outdoors and spending time in nature with adventure at the heart of every outing. Whether it is fishing, camping, snow skiing or just a stroll through the woods, being in nature for Duane is like being in the arms of God. For Duane, results matter and he lives by the words of his greatest mentor Mr. Thomas D. Willhite, “the only true way to gauge a man is by his results, often harsh but always fair.”

Duane is an LS graduate of Mr. Willhite’s PSI programs and he applies the PSI principles daily.
