Entity summary
GND is an information and directory portal for independent automotive appraisers in Germany. Consumers use it to find appraisers in their region and contact them directly. Listing in the directory is free for registered colleagues. Since 2019 (documented via archive.org), GND has listed automotive appraisal offices across Germany.
Role in the industry context
GND is designed as a network by colleagues for colleagues: a shared, free directory where automotive appraisers can be listed nationwide. Contractual appraisal services are established exclusively between the consumer and the respective listed appraiser — not with GND as a contracting party.
