For Commercial Appraisal Firms

Commercial appraisal software that actually understands commercial.

Built for firms that handle income-producing properties, narrative reports, and 80-page files — not just 1004s. Intake, pipeline, QC, contradiction detection, and institutional-grade client delivery in one platform.

The commercial review problem no one is solving

Most appraisal management software was built around GSE forms. If your practice lives in narrative reports, you've been working around your software instead of with it.

Residential tools force a residential workflow

Most AMS platforms were built for 1004s. You try to squeeze in an 80-page narrative and half the fields don't apply, the QC won't review it intelligently, and the pipeline stages don't match how commercial work actually moves.

Internal contradictions slip past human review

When a report crosses 60 pages, no human reliably catches that the GLA in the subject section differs from the sales comparison grid, or that the condition rating contradicts the narrative. Clients catch it. Revision requests follow.

Institutional clients want institutional delivery

Banks, attorneys, and investors expect polished communication, secure delivery, structured workfiles, and a platform that reflects the professional standard of the report inside. A shared Dropbox folder doesn't cut it.

The Whole Platform

Order management built for commercial practice

Appraiser Machine is a full appraisal management platform. When it detects a commercial order, it automatically switches to commercial-specific logic — the QC checklist, the AI review prompt, the workflow. You don't toggle anything. It just works.

Intake & quoting

Pipeline & team

Commercial QC

Contradiction detection

Client portal

Invoicing & payments

Analytics & P&L

Workfile automation

Intake and quoting that handle commercial scope

Engagement letters and RFPs don't fit a dropdown. Commercial intake is nuanced — your intake system should be too.

Smart Order Creation for commercial

Paste an engagement letter, PDF, or rent roll. AI extracts property details, contacts, scope, and deadline.

Commercial-grade Instant Quote Forms

Pricing rules by property type, size, complexity, rush, and scope. Prospects get an instant fee and pay to reserve. AI Chat mode available for nuanced commercial scopes.

Email-to-order intake

Forward any engagement letter to your intake address. AI parses it into a live order with contacts, property data, and due date. Every attachment lands in the workfile.

Bid pipeline for commercial assignments

Track bids from RFP to acceptance with win-rate analytics. Convert accepted bids to orders in one click.

A pipeline that matches how commercial work moves

Commercial assignments run on their own clock. The platform gives you pipeline, permissions, fees, and analytics sized for narrative work — not forced residential milestones.

Custom pipeline that fits commercial timelines

Drag orders through status columns on a Kanban board. Pipeline value per stage, rush flagging, revision tracking with full history — built for assignments that take weeks, not days.

Three-tier role permissions

Account admin, appraiser, and user roles let you structure trainee → reviewer → delivery without over-engineering it. Every stage tracked, nothing lost in email.

Appraiser fee schedules

Set contractor splits or per-appraisal rates by work type. Commercial assignments can carry their own fee structure separate from lender residential.

Turn time and work-type analytics

Business days from assignment to delivery. Revenue and turn time broken out by work type (lender, private, commercial, consulting) so you see exactly where your commercial practice stands.

Commercial QC Mode

A 65-item commercial checklist that reads your report

When you run pre-submit QC on a commercial order, the system automatically loads a separate 65-item USPAP-based checklist covering 11 commercial-specific categories. The AI reviewer uses a commercial-specific prompt, so it won't flag residential requirements like FHA MPR on your commercial work.

Income Approach

Rent roll analysis, vacancy assumptions, expense ratios, NOI calculation

Capitalization Rate

Cap rate support, source documentation, market extraction

Expense Analysis

Operating expense verification, management fees, reserves

Highest and Best Use

Legally permissible, physically possible, financially feasible, maximally productive

Market Analysis

Supply/demand, absorption rates, market rent comparables

Site Analysis

Zoning compliance, parking ratios, environmental considerations

Improvement Analysis

Building class, effective age, remaining economic life

Sales Comparison

Comp selection, per-SF and per-unit analysis, adjustment support

Reconciliation

Value conclusion support, approach weighting

Regulatory Compliance

USPAP requirements specific to commercial work

Report Formatting

Narrative structure, addenda completeness

Add your own custom items scoped to commercial-only (or residential-only, or both). Client-specific requirements never show up on runs where they don't apply.

AI Contradiction Detection

Catches what a human reviewer can't

The AI reads the entire narrative report and flags internal contradictions — numerical, rating, narrative, and cross-section. Every contradiction comes with severity and a recommendation to fix it before the client sees it.

Numerical

GLA stated as 38,400 SF in Subject — 38,750 SF in Sales Comparison grid

Cap rate drift

9.2% cap rate cited in income approach — 8.75% implied by the sales comps used

Rating vs narrative

Condition rated 'Good' but narrative describes deferred maintenance and roof replacement

Vacancy mismatch

Rent roll shows 12% vacancy — pro forma uses 8%

HBU contradiction

Zoning section says highest-and-best use is continued multifamily — reconciliation reasons to redevelopment value

Expense drift

Operating expense ratio stated as 32% in narrative — 38% when calculated from line items

Runs automatically with every commercial QC pass. No second tool to click. No copy-paste into an outside model.

Institutional-grade delivery and billing

Banks, attorneys, REITs, and investors expect a platform that reflects the professional standard of your report inside. Appraiser Machine was built to match it.

Client portal with magic-link access

Institutional clients and counsel get a professional portal — no password hassle, full file history, structured delivery. Reflects the standard of the report inside.

Stripe checkout and split invoicing

Payment links that work with any client — not just UWM. Split an invoice across borrower, lender, and attorney. Multi-order invoicing for repeat institutional work.

Auto-delivery with payment links

Completed reports deliver automatically with an embedded payment link. Review request emails follow up after delivery so you capture Google reviews from happy institutional clients.

Profitability by client or appraiser

See P&L per institutional client or per appraiser on your team. Know which commercial accounts are actually worth keeping.
