The Appraisal Lane™ is looking for an exceptional candidate to fill a challenging technical support role in Austin, TX.

At The Appraisal Lane (TAL), we've innovated the used vehicle management and valuation process. Partnering with automotive dealers, we provide used vehicle collaboration across an entire dealership group, as well as provide a cash offer to purchase any used car on the dealership lot. Unlike appraisal tools of the past, there are no algorithms here - we use REAL appraisers to submit REAL offers backed by cash.

We also provide VIN specific condition reports and valuation guides, coupled with similar vehicle transaction data from the dealerships historical transactions. The Appraisal Lane works with dealerships around the US to source inventory, saving partner dealerships both time and money. Recently, TAL expanded its market with the addition of a consumer component - allowing individual car owners, like you, to submit vehicles for cash/trade-in offers right from your driveway that are redeemable at participating dealerships.
