Let Allied Appraisals show you how we innovate ordering appraisals

Years ago, the majority of orders arrived via fax and were confirmed with phone calls once we arrived at the office. Often, in this scenario, it might of taken far too long to hear back to see if the order could be taken. Things are quite a bit different different now and when an order is placed on the site, I get a e-mail on my phone. I'll often log into my site from the field and send back an e-mail confirmation – including the time and date for the inspection if I've been able to talk to the occupant.

Allied Appraisals understands that real estate is all about timeliness. We use our resources to reduce waiting between communications since the speed at which we get things done directly effects your bottom-line. This website definitely reduces cycle time for us and our clients by enhancing our communications.

Allied Appraisals believes in working smarter

The appraisal process is nothing if not a demanding procedure. We spend quite a bit of time obtaining the facts on the subject property and the local market data and trends Once again, technology has stepped in to help Allied Appraisals.

Instead of using paper forms and pencils and then re-keying all the information back at the office, don't be surprised to see me with a tablet PC or collecting data using an app created for my phone that even lets me sketch a floorplan right on site. Rather then using that clumsy old tape measure, more and more appraisers are adopting accurate laser measuring devices that also help measure hard to access areas.

All of this technology ensures that the final report is as complete and accurate as possible. requiring fewer call-backs and revisions. Our goal is to save you time and money.

Report delivery

Delivery of appraisals as PDF files through e-mail is definitely the standard these days. Most of our clients prefer e-mail because we're all accustomed to getting attachments like PDFs in our mail. It's a lot better than the old days before e-mail. But, we've even been able to improve on e-mail with how you receive your report with this website.

Everyone knows how frustrating it is to lose a file. Or have you ever had an attachment blocked because it was too big? We've come up with a solution for those problems, too. Whenever I send an appraisal, the client gets a link sent off to them to their email to retrieve the PDF. By bypassing email completely we can get around any problems caused by file size. And the best thing is that the file will be hosted on my site for 90 days. So if anything happens to the file, you can log back into my site and retrieve it again - saving you time, since I won't even need to run back to my computer.

Finally, we use all digital workfiles...

It would be great if appraisers could never have to think about an assignment again after writing and giving it to the client. But one of the purposes of an appraisal is as a legal document outlining the condition of a property on a specific date. Therefore, appraisers need to keep their reports for 5 years, allowing them to recall any appraisal at any time to either defend the valuation or to be used in other legal proceedings.

To sum it all up, Allied Appraisals uses all the technology at our disposal technology to improve service. We store every part of the appraisal - notes, sketches, supporting documentation and calculations - along with the appraisal electronically, we can pull up the entire file whenever it's needed and recall precisely what that job was about.

We just wanted to give you a little bit of insight into how we use our technology daily. Investing in the right tools, along with the appraisal know-how that you've grown to expect allows the appraiser to collect the appraisal data to finish the report faster and more accurately then previously possible.
