Setting the standard
The company began as a modest family operation in 1932 when E.P. Marshall
published the first edition of the Marshall Valuation Service.
Decades of hard work, growth and strategic acquisitions brought much
success to Marshall & Swift and built a strong foundation for what
has become a multi-million dollar company.
Beyond meticulously researched data, the original
publications such as the Marshall
Valuation Service and Residential
Cost Handbook (circa 1954) set the standard for cost approach
methodology and became indispensable to the entire cost valuation
process.
Always ahead of the curve
Maintaining its role as an industry pioneer, Marshall & Swift quickly
embraced the potential of technological innovation, and established its
own line of specialized software
solutions that not only employ the company's acclaimed cost data but
also feature cutting-edge assignment management and automated calculation
technology.
With constant focus on the unique challenges
and needs of the appraisal industry, Marshall & Swift has upheld a
central role in the daily operations of its customers for more than 70
years.
