Why Appraisers Choose Appraisal Inbox Over Jaro Desk

Jaro Desk's limitations can hinder your appraisal business:

  • Expensive per-order pricing ($15/order) that scales poorly

  • Residential-only focus, unsuitable for commercial work

  • Clunky, confusing, and disjointed user interface

  • Lack of integrated public data requires manual lookups

  • Limited team management features (roles/permissions)

  • Built for Opteon AMC's staff appraisers and lender clients

Appraisal Inbox offers a modern, cost-effective alternative:

  • Affordable, predictable pricing with unlimited orders

  • Comprehensive support for all property types

  • Integrated public data lookup saves time and effort

  • Robust team management with roles and permissions

  • Modern, intuitive, and unified user interface

  • Built by and for independent appraisers, not AMCs

Hear From Appraisers Who Made the Switch

We've been with Appraisal Inbox from nearly its beginning, and from the time we implemented it, it has drastically enhanced our job organization, scheduling, and workflow. I even continue to use it to supplement the scheduling feature in our broader report writing software because I think it's a more intuitive, superior product. Appraisal Inbox will be a part of my company's operations indefinitely.

Appraisal Inbox has been our go-to platform since 2013. It streamlined our operations, optimized our team of 10 appraisers, and delivered stellar customer support every step of the way. Highly recommended!

We've tried several platforms over the years and are happy to have landed with Appraisal Inbox. Our office is complex with 5 appraisers and admin staff, spread across a large state, practicing in residential and commercial appraisals. Appraisal Inbox is easy to navigate and use but still robust enough that we can manage all orders throughout the entire appraisal process. It's become an important part of our workflow.

As a one-person, boots-on-the-ground appraiser, my resources are always stretched to the max. An efficient workflow and affordability are essential for success. I used to manage files in stacks on my desk, but now everything’s in one organized place with Appraisal Inbox. The team is responsive and helpful, and my workflow and profitability have never been better.

The transition from ANOW to Appraisal Inbox was seamless thanks to their excellent migration tool. All of our data transferred smoothly and accurately, allowing us to be up and running almost immediately. The reliability of the platform, combined with responsive and knowledgeable support, has made a real difference in our daily operations.

Appraisal Inbox has helped streamline our company of over 30+ employees to designate and keep track of all our orders and payments. We have been using this service since 2021, and it keeps getting better!

We love using Appraisal Inbox — it has helped us immensely, not only in tracking our reports but also in seamlessly sharing information with our appraisers. It’s made our workflow faster, more organized, and far more efficient.
