August 05, 2025 // Franchising.com // INDIANAPOLIS – Velox Valuations is gaining momentum with the launch of three new franchise locations in the past three months in Jacksonville, South Carolina, and Maryland. 

"As we grow, we’re not just adding locations—we’re building strong bonds with professionals who are passionate about the appraisal industry and the important role it plays in every community,” said Chad Barker, CEO of Velox Valuations. “Velox is becoming the trusted choice for both clients and appraisers, and that’s something we take great pride in.”

Each of the three new Velox Valuations franchise owners brings a unique set of skills and expertise to their markets:

• Michael Soud, a Jacksonville native, brings more than 20 years of leadership experience across real estate brokerage, appraisal, ministry, and business ownership—including a restaurant and a children’s salon franchise—making him a strong fit to lead Velox’s newest Florida location.
• Colin Suser, an award-winning chef, restaurateur, and longtime Clarksville resident, leads the Maryland expansion. With real estate appraisal experience and a history of community involvement, Suser blends precision and adaptability with hands-on leadership.
• Peter Ludescher, South Carolina franchise owner, is a seasoned appraiser with 20-plus years of experience across three states and over 6,000 properties appraised. As a former opera singer and arts school owner, he applies creativity and discipline to his appraisal work and has led teams nationwide.

In addition to growth, Velox is also stepping onto the national stage with a sponsorship at Valuation Expo 2025 in Las Vegas. At the conference, Velox will be meeting with fellow industry leaders to showcase its appraiser direct model and growing franchise program. The event marks a key opportunity for Velox to highlight how its tech-forward model is helping appraisers nationwide thrive.
