Bio
Blake C. Davis is the founder and principal of Davis Valuation, LLC. Blake is a state certified general appraiser within the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Georgia, and holds a broker license within the state of Texas. He has been involved in the real estate business since 2005, when he started as an appraiser trainee at BBG, Inc. (formerly Butler Burgher Group), a nationally respected full-service appraisal firm. After an extensive certification process, Blake became a certified general appraiser by the state of Texas, and quickly focused on national apartment portfolios and single and multi-tenant industrial and office properties.
In 2010, Blake co-founded Huey Davis Group, a multifaceted appraisal and consulting firm that concentrated on local and regional banks, as well as individuals in need of consulting and valuation expertise. Huey Davis Group proved to be a successful venture growing from just two appraisers to eight appraisers and two office staff, with offices in Dallas and Austin. The client list increased from a handful to several dozen that routinely submitted orders and sent Huey Davis Group all over the country completing assignments. Davis Valuation, LLC represents an effort to continue the momentum experienced by Huey Davis Group, but with a greater focus on the customer service aspect of the appraisal industry.
