Ascend Appraisers
A professional women’s network.
Step into a world of empowerment and camaraderie
Emily Braman, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS created Ascend Appraisers to be a retreat from the typical way of doing things in the historically male dominated appraisal profession.
Ascend Appraisers is space for women in the appraisal industry to connect, grow, and ascend to new heights in their personal and professional lives.

“I was so excited when Emily first shared her vision for Ascend Appraisers with me. I knew it would facilitate deeper connections beyond the typical 5-10 minutes at networking events. I hoped to meet peers and mentors I could strategize with as well as glean from. Ascend Appraisers has exceeded my expectations, especially as it continues to grow and expand. It is a mastermind of female appraisers. ”
- Akia Smith, MAI
“Emily led us through a residential masterclass at the Ascend retreat in Clearwater where we explored multiple opportunities for more complex appraisal work. She walked us through her Residential Template and we discussed upgrading our client base. The next week I got a bid for the city which was eight residential appraisals, perfect for the template. This week I just bid and got an $8,000-$10,000 job with multiple values, easements, and other complexities.
There is no way I could have confidently bid and gotten this job without Emily’s Residential Template. The form just wouldn’t work in this situation. I'm happy to say the client is excited to get started on the project. The knowledge and support from Emily has boosted my confidence and the quality and flexibility of the product I am able to offer clients. I highly recommend it! ”
