Dan Bader

Co-owner and President since 2006 of Bader & Associates, Inc., Dan began his appraisal career in 1996 although has spent the majority of his life in the business. His introduction to appraisals at the ripe age of six consisted of holding the dummy end of the tape, learning how to read map books, and shaking the Polaroid pictures!!! While the tape measures, map books, and Polaroid pictures have taken a back seat to lasers, digital photos and GPS; the fundamentals of appraising have not changed.

Dan’s goal has been to merge the work ethic and knowledge of a great company with the technology of the 21st century to benefit the accuracy of real estate appraisals.

Dan is a 1991 Vianney High School graduate and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Real Estate from MIZZOU. In 2015, he earned his SRA (Senior Residential Appraiser) Designation and is a member of the Appraisal Institute. He is an active member of the Greater St. Louis Chapter as he is the current education chair and is a past board member. A resident of Creve Coeur with his wife Jenn and four sons, Dan spends some of his free time running and watching his boys play baseball, basketball, soccer, and wrestling. Personal goal: Qualify for the Boston Marathon!
