Save your spot with Jeff Weiner (CEO of Realquantum, 100% web-based commercial appraisal analysis and report writing software) and Chase Pursley for our second joint-webinar on November 17 where we will be discussing how commercial appraisers can adopt new technology to streamline their operations, grow their revenue and regain their sanity.
As the cliche goes, communication is key. On your team, you may have several people working on a specific appraisal order. For example, maybe there's someone who schedules and manages the assignment, the licensed appraiser, a trainee or two, an inspector and perhaps even a reviewer.
Keeping your schedule organized is a key part of running a successful appraisal business. Appraisal Inbox has a built-in Schedule featuring agenda and month views that are automatically populated when you set Due and Inspection dates for an appraisal order.
According to the USPAP Record Keeping Rule appraisers must keep a comprehensive and complete Workfile. In the process of an appraisal, appraisers need to collect any number of files and pieces of information to support their value.
One of our goals with Appraisal Inbox is to keep everyone on your appraisal team in the loop. At any time, your staff should be able see exactly where an appraisal order is in the valuation process.
Back in 2012 I was working as an appraiser at a small firm. One of the major benefits of our practice was that staff had the option to work from a home office. When not in our office typing reports, we were on the road inspecting properties.
