TROY, MI — (Marketwire) — 11/14/12 — Dart Appraisal (), a leader in innovative customer solutions in the appraisal management industry, today announced a reorganization of its customer service department resulting in the creation of six new Customer Service Team Leader positions. The company has also expanded its management team by promoting Tracey Volltrauer to Vendor Manager from Vendor Coordinator, and adding Michelle Gimbutis as Associate Marketing Manager.
These appointments will help to support the fast-growing company, which increased its volume by 76% last year and is poised for more growth in 2013.
