Jason R. Busbee is a certified residential real estate property appraiser at Integrity Appraisal. Jason is also the owner/operator of Blairsville Appraisal/Busbee Enterprise Inc. and has been onboard with Integrity Appraisal from the beginning. Jason began in the same office with Duane over 13 years ago where he paid his dues assisting Duane and his father by collecting sales data before MLS services were available in this market. Jason also spent time with Chatuge Appraisals where he began to perform more in-depth analysis and appraisal reporting. From this venture, Jason opened his own office in Blairsville and continued to serve the surrounding counties performing residential reports for various lenders and clients.

Jason, however, felt that the proper training and mentorship was lacking during this time as he grew in knowledge and experience and began to encounter more difficult analyses. Due to this belief and the lack of the specialized experiences needed to perform analyses in the proper way, Jason was about ready to hang it up. He told his wife that he either had to find a way to learn the proper skills that so many appraisers are not fortunate enough to learn, or he was going to find another profession. For Jason, analyzing property with the proper methodology and expertise is more important than earning a paycheck. This is when Duane, literally, walked in the door at the Blairsville Appraisal office. Duane had the experience and knowledge that Jason felt he was lacking. Over the next few months, Duane and Jason began working together more and more and within a short time Integrity Appraisal emerged. From the beginning, the focus has been to provide a quality analysis without compromising on integrity. This belief is what has made Integrity Appraisal what it is today. A phrase that Jason has used most of his life better explains this philosophy: "Always do what’s right, even if no one seems to be looking.”

Jason is married to a beautiful and lovely wife and has two boys that always remind him of what is truly important in life. Jason also loves to play golf, or any sport for that matter, as well as fishing with friends when the opportunity presents itself. Jason focuses daily on becoming the man his dog thinks he is and God is molding him to be. Jason feels that one of his most important goals is to be better today than he was yesterday. This passage from Jason’s favorite self-help manual pretty much sums him up, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and don't lean on your own understanding. In all things acknowledge him, and he shall direct your way." [Proverbs 3:5, 6]
