Detroit, MI
Chairman - Certified Appraiser# 4230001

Marty Ruth is an independent appraiser and the owner of Auto Appraisal Network-Detroit. He’s also an active board member of the National Auto Appraiser’s Association (NAAA). 

Marty says, “After a long-term colleague introduced me to appraising vehicles, I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to become a certified appraiser.

It was challenging to find a reputable appraiser certification organization that was up to date with timely and accessible onboarding, training, certification and continued education.”

Marty adds, “After my experience with getting certified, I wanted to do my part to establish a trustworthy, modernized developmental appraisal association that provides unified guidelines and ethical practices to help train and develop other likeminded, passionate appraisers.” 

When he’s not appraising vehicles, Marty enjoys landscape design, reading, travel, and writing. He’s a published author with one book title released to date, “Seven Soldier Angels: Doctrine of Distraction.”
