Appraiser involvement and report content increase at each product level
What’s the difference between Automated & Appraiser Developed?
Automated values are derived from a computer-driven model that calculates a value base on an appraiser prescribed process. Appraiser Developed means an appraiser derives the value applying standard appraisal techniques.
Why does the accuracy vary?
The confidence score indicates the potential variance between the indicated value and the potential values. The accuracy varies mostly due to the appraiser’s involvement in the process or due to the uniqueness of the property, unknown variables and market characteristics.
Does Instant mean I get a report while checking out?
Yes, instant means your get the results immediately. Our other reports have quick deliveries; however, they require appraiser involvement which requires more time to develop.
What’s the difference in content?
The content or information contained in the reports increase as you move up the scale. For some needs detail content is not required in a report and just a value indication and the necessary information required for compliance is needed.
The AVR is only $20, why wouldn’t I order it?
The AVR is a great report. It is an excellent choice when you need an initial indication of value quickly or in a low risk transaction. It works very well in conforming areas; however, it is less ideal when a highly accurate value is needed or if the property is unique or if the neighborhood is very diverse.
The QVR has a Sales Grid & Photos, why is that important?
The QVR reports are designed with a sales comparison grid and property photos, so that the reader can see how the value was derived and judge the relevance of the comparables and the credibility of the value. It is a data rich report used by banks, credit unions and lenders for compliance with regulations.
What is compliant with USPAP and IAG mean?
USPAP is the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice which sets the legal standards all appraisers must comply with. IAG is the Interagency Guidelines which establish regulations that all banks and credit unions must comply with pertaining to lending and appraisals requirements.
Why are the Technology Assisted Reports considered the best value?
These reports offer a high level of accuracy and compliance at lower costs than traditional appraisals. Our appraisers leverage technology to more accurately and efficiently develop appraisal reports which are data rich, standardized formats and compliant.
