Let's start at the beginning. Millions of real estate transactions are processed each year in the United States. Almost all of them require some sort of an appraisal. Technology has allowed savvy appraisers to reduce the amount of work their clients need to order, track and receive appraisals. In the past, the primary mode of interaction between an appraiser and his clients was the telephone and fax machine. Clients would send requests via fax, and then often follow it up with a phone call to make sure it was received. Tracking the progress of the appraisal meant more phone calls - a disruption for both the client and the appraiser.

But the modern, technologically advanced appraiser has a better method. Using tools like this web site, complete with the ability to order appraisals on-line, allows clients to shave valuable time off the process of ordering and tracking appraisals. Emerging technologies are advancing this concept even further, giving its users the ability to not only order appraisals, but track their progress all the way until delivery. No more annoying games of phone tag!

Over the past several years, there have been significant advancements in technology that our company has been able to leverage to provide better service to our clients. The use of electronic forms software, digital cameras, mapping and sketching software has enabled us to produce a better quality product in less time. Utilizing the most accurate data and research techniques we can consistently out perform our competitors.
