Scheduling Conflicts and Manual Updates​

Real estate appraisers juggle multiple calendar systems - their appraisal software, Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook, maybe Apple Calendar, and mobile devices. This fragmented approach leads to scheduling conflicts, missed inspections, and constant manual updates. All that calendar management time adds up - time that could be spent on billable appraisal work.

Common Calendar Management Issues​

Appraisal professionals face these scheduling challenges:

  • Double-entry work: Manually updating due dates across multiple systems
  • Sync gaps: Changes in one calendar don't reflect in others
  • Mobile access: Difficulty viewing appraisal schedules on phones and tablets
  • Personal organization: Managing personal and work calendars separately

Two-Way Calendar Sync​

Appraisal Inbox eliminates scheduling headaches with comprehensive two-way calendar synchronization for both Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Important dates like inspection times, appraisal due dates, and task deadlines sync to your calendar automatically. When you reschedule directly in Google Calendar or Outlook, those changes sync back to Appraisal Inbox instantly.

Key Integration Features​

Automatic Bidirectional Updates:

  • Appraisal Inbox ↔ Google/Outlook: Due dates, inspection times, and tasks sync instantly in both directions
  • Mobile compatibility: Works with Android, iPhones and iPads
  • Color-coded events: Distinguish between inspections, due dates and tasks in your calendar
