Greg Graybadger

Greg Graybadger serves as a Senior Review Appraiser within the Mount Hood National Forest, part of the U.S. Forest Service under the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In this role, he is responsible for evaluating and validating real estate appraisals used to support acquisition, lease, easement, and right-of-way transactions essential to forest management and infrastructure resilience. His work directly informs procurement decisions related to land use, conservation easements, and facility siting, ensuring compliance with federal appraisal standards under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). He plays a critical gatekeeping role in the agency’s real property acquisition lifecycle, reviewing appraisals for accuracy, independence, and regulatory alignment. Greg works closely with certified real estate appraisers and appraisal management companies that meet federal qualification standards, ensuring that all valuations are conducted by licensed professionals with demonstrated expertise in rural, forested, and conservation-sensitive land. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for independent, third-party appraisal firms that operate with strict ethical and procedural integrity. He maintains collaborative, arms-length relationships with vendors to preserve objectivity while ensuring timely delivery of legally defensible valuation reports. Greg consistently directs 100% of his procurement activity toward Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, prioritizing small business participation without distinction among socioeconomic categories. His approach reflects a strong institutional commitment to fostering economic opportunity for small, locally based appraisal firms, enabling broader community engagement in federal land management efforts. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 531320 — Offices of Real Estate Appraisers — encompassing residential, commercial, and conservation land appraisals for federal land transactions. He specializes in valuations of forested parcels, riparian corridors, and recreational access easements, requiring deep technical knowledge of land use restrictions, environmental servitudes, and timber rights. His domain expertise ensures that appraisals accurately reflect the unique economic and ecological value of National Forest lands.
