Using technology tools like web portals, allows our clients to shave valuable time off the process of ordering and tracking appraisals. Technologies like Software for Real Estate Professionals (SFREP) are constantly developing and advancing concepts even further.
Data Gathering - We spend a lot of their time gathering both specific information about the subject property and general data about the local market and developing trends. We use tools that can aid in gathering data in the field. Tools like the Leica Disto Laser meter are making the measurements more accurate. Apple’s iPhone allows us real time communication with clients. All of this means that the appraiser can get the report done and delivered to the client in a fraction of the time it once took.
Naturally, the Internet has revolutionized the ability of appraisers to get quality data in a fraction of the time it once took.
Report delivery -Even on the commercial side, we have forsaken the old print-and-snail mail route for a much more efficient electronic delivery system. Utilizing Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) files, an appraiser can deliver a complete, multi-page report, complete with digital photos and maps, through simple e-mail.
