GABRIELA JOHNSON,

VP OPERATIONS MANAGER

Gabby has been recently promoted from Accounts Manager and brings many years of liaison experience to this role. She is empowered to make quick decisions to handle any operational challenges.

Lender Operations

With UAD 3.6 comes much uncertainty as to appraiser adaptation, underwriting interpretations, loan officer understanding, as well as the new “sales data not used” reporting.

We are a preferred beta tester for UAD 3.6 and are excited to take the training lead for our lenders and appraisers. We are partnering with our appraisers to help them expand their use of AI in their private appraisal practices to get them more business locally. Our goals: the best appraiser partnerships with no interruptions in service levels!

“We have now worked with Brent Jones and his team at R3 for a couple of years, have completed 1000’s of orders and hosted 3 educational seminars. We have never experienced this level of customer service. We feel fully supported whether it regards day to day appraisal management challenges, when appraisal gaps arise, educating our agents, or helping us find solutions when transactions are at risk. Highly highly recommend!”

Shayla Gifford Guild Mortgage

“We have been at it now close to 5 years, Brent and his team at R3 from the start have given us service levels and communication that has been incredible. Their appraisers are responsive, staff focused on problem solving, and when a file does go sideways because of value, their Heads-Up program never blindsides me when we have appraisal gaps. For large teams like ours, it really is a true partnership!”
