Crosson Dannis, Inc. (CDI) was formed in late 1976 and commenced operations in 1977. Heading the firm as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is Stephen T. Crosson, who had previously served as Vice President of Appraisal Administration for one of Texas' largest savings and loan institutions. Acting as President of the firm is Charles G. Dannis, with a diverse background including the development of residential communities and planned-unit developments for a Dallas-based savings and loan holding company. The philosophy of the two principal partners in founding CDI was to create an efficient, well-managed organization to compete in the global marketplace. Beginning in 1978, employment at CDI grew rapidly as increasing demand created a need for the addition of residential and commercial appraisal experts. The growing volume of work handled daily by the company led to the formation of a Research Department and Corporate Library. Meanwhile, the scope of jobs undertaken by the company began to expand across regional boundaries and encompass a wide variety of property types. CDI's size and resources allowed it to take on an increasing number of major jobs and institutional portfolio work beyond the capacity of many appraisal firms. The company consists of real estate specialists experienced in appraisal and consulting for all property types. CDI's basic policies are simple and straightforward: adhere to quality control through a stringent review process; offer superior service at a competitive price; and remain responsive to the client throughout the appraisal process by maintaining an open line of communication.
