Everything You Need to Run Your Practice

No complicated setup. No learning curve. Just simple tools that work - designed exclusively for real estate appraisers.

Authoritative Data · Not AI

Public record verified — every order, automatically

The moment you open an order, the property card already shows owner, APN, legal description, year built, GLA, lot size, tax year, annual taxes, assessed value, and prior sales — sourced from a national public-records dataset and surfaced with the parcel boundary outlined on the map. No manual lookups. No data entry. No AVM guesswork.

Loaded on every new order

Type an address into the intake form. Within two seconds, 12+ verified fields populate alongside the green “Public record” badge. Property type auto-selects when the record is unambiguous. Submit the order and it’s already done.

Cross-validates your report

Pre-Submit QC compares your reported APN, year built, GLA, lot size, and owner of record against the public record. Flags any disagreement before the AMC sees it — the most common revision-request trigger, eliminated.

Flows into your exports

MISMO XML and the workfile bundle both pull verified fields when your typed columns are blank. Defensible provenance: every exported field is traced back to its public-record source with a refresh date.

Why “public record verified” matters more than “AI extracted”

No AI inference. Pulled directly from public county records.
Workfile-defensible. Cite the public-record source with refresh date.
No AVM exposed. You’re the valuation. We never auto-surface AVMs.
90-day refresh. Records stay current; cache stays free.
Industry First

Core Operations

The Foundation of Your Practice

Today Page — Your Action-First Home

Land on Your Priorities, Not Your Dashboard

Every time an appraiser or team member logs in, they start on Today — one page showing exactly what needs their attention right now, with one-click Call, Email, and SMS on every row. Account Admins keep Dashboard as their analytics home. Different page for different jobs.

Appraiser Machine Today page showing AI Daily Summary, Today at a Glance, What Needs Attention, and Leads & Follow-ups widgets
  • What Needs Attention — orders grouped by urgency (Overdue, Due 48h, Revisions, Appointments Today) with inline Call + Email on every row
  • Leads & Follow-ups — quote-side companion with New Leads, Follow-ups Due, and Check-ins; inline SMS when NLP is connected
  • "N from ads this week" pill — see ad-sourced leads at a glance without opening analytics
  • Admin appraiser picker — Mine / All appraisers / drill into a specific teammate's view
  • Mark-as-contacted in one click — lead moves from New Leads to Follow-ups automatically
  • Today at a Glance — three clickable tiles (Inspections / Deadlines / Meetings)
  • Fully customizable — drag-drop widgets, hide what you don't use, saves per-device
  • Role-based default landing — appraisers/users → Today, admins → Dashboard (both reachable either way from the sidebar)

Solo Appraisers

Open your phone, see what matters, make the calls. No scrolling through an order list trying to remember who you owed a follow-up.

Teams

Your VA works the Today page top-to-bottom. New lead comes in → she sees it, clicks Call. Order goes overdue → she sees it. No dropped balls.

Leads & Follow-ups Panel

Every Quote in One Scan

The quote-side action panel on Today. Three buckets: new leads waiting for outreach, follow-ups going stale, and check-ins you explicitly set. Every row has Call, Email, and (with NLP) SMS inline — no copy-pasting phone numbers, no switching tabs.

Leads & follow-ups panel showing New Leads (Marcus, Priya, Derek with Google Ads attribution), Follow-ups Due, and Requested Check-ins buckets with inline Call, Email, and SMS action icons on every row
  • New Leads bucket — quotes ≤72h old that haven't been contacted yet
  • Follow-ups Due — contacted quotes that have gone stale (3+ days silent) or are past their explicit follow-up date
  • Requested Check-ins — reminders you set yourself, surfaced when due today or past
  • Inline Call / Email always visible when the contact has those fields on file
  • Inline SMS via NLP — composer modal with segment counter; sends through your NLP number, logs to activity thread and NLP conversation simultaneously
  • Mark-as-contacted Check icon — one click stamps the timestamp and moves the lead to Follow-ups
  • Ad-sourced detection — sparkle icon + "N from ads this week" header pill so you can see ad ROI at a glance
  • Source tags visible — Google, Site Form, Thumbtack, Webhook, etc.

Solo Appraisers

The fastest path from 'a lead came in' to 'they're on the phone with you.' Three buckets, action buttons, done.

Teams

SMS flow goes through NLP so everything logs automatically on both sides. Your VA works the panel; the activity trail is complete without her copying anything into the CRM.

Pre-Submit QC + Revision Shield

Stop Revisions Before They Start

Catch the problems before your clients do. AI scans your completed report against 148 quality items across 24 categories — the same things lenders check for. Cross-references against your order data and against public records on the parcel. Custom checklists for specific clients. For teams, reviewers see AI scores and focus on what matters.

  • 148-item residential AI checklist across 24 categories: USPAP, FNMA, FHA, VA, fair housing, environmental hazards, public-record verification, and more
  • Commercial QC Mode — auto-detects commercial orders, loads 65-item USPAP-based checklist
  • AI Contradiction Detection — catches GLA mismatches, rating inconsistencies, narrative conflicts
  • Engagement letter matching — cross-references report against engagement requirements
  • Cross-references report against order data (borrower, price, loan #)
  • Public Record Verification category — five auto-checked items per order (owner match, APN, legal description, lot size, year built)
  • Custom checklists per client (Wells Fargo, Chase, etc.) — scoped to residential, commercial, or both
  • AI Revision Analyzer — breaks revision requests into checkable action items
  • Built-in revision templates for common issues (comp challenges, adjustments, missing data)
  • Revision analytics — per-appraiser breakdown by category with avg turnaround
  • Team reviewer queue with Pre-Submit QC scores, category badges, and auto-scroll

Public-Record Verification

Subject Context Without Leaving the Order

Every order is matched against a national public-records dataset. Owner of record, APN, year built, gross living area, lot size, and prior sales surface on the order detail next to your user-entered fields. The subject map outlines the actual parcel boundary over satellite imagery instead of dropping a single pin. Five Pre-Submit QC items run automatically against the same data.

  • Owner of record, APN, year built, GLA, lot size, and recent sales on the order detail
  • Parcel boundary outlined on the satellite map — actual lot lines, not a guessed pin
  • Full sales / assessment / building-permit history under “View full public record”
  • Five auto-checked QC items: owner match, APN match, legal description match, lot size sanity, year built sanity
  • Provenance: source named on the card with the lookup date for workfile citation
  • Coverage gaps degrade gracefully — no errors, public-record card hides itself, QC items show N/A

Self-Healing Email Pipeline

Stop the 'Eight Emails, Two Orders' Problem

AMCs send 3-6 emails per real order: Order Request, Assigned, Status, Payment, Inspection Completed, Report Delivered. AM keeps the burst from creating duplicates three different ways — without you having to maintain an allowlist.

  • Heuristic AMC detection — when a sender host originates 3+ orders for your company in 14 days, AM auto-treats it as multi-email. No manual setup, no missed vendors.
  • Possible-duplicate badge on Pending Intake — orange callout listing live orders at the same property so you can decline before accepting a duplicate
  • Nightly duplicate-pair detector — cron job sweeps for live order pairs at the same property + client within 30 days, pings admins, deduped so the same pair never re-fires
  • Bidirectional address matching — bridges AI-extraction inconsistencies (“Lot # N H St” vs “N H St”) while preserving distinct-lot details (Lot 3 ≠ Lot 4)
  • Subject-line override classifier — 18 known update-event patterns short-circuit the AI when the subject obviously names an update event
  • Batched email-update bell — multiple AMC updates on the same order in a 10-minute window collapse into one notification instead of five

Engagement Letter Auto-Process

From PDF to Populated Order — With PII Masked

Upload the engagement letter on the Pending Intake card and AM does everything end-to-end: redacts Social Security numbers, merges every field onto the order, populates the borrower and scheduling contacts, re-seeds the workflow if the LOE supplies a report type, and saves the redacted PDF to the workfile.

  • Auto-redacts SSNs — scans the PDF text layer and draws filled black rectangles over every Social Security number before the file is saved or sent to AI
  • Scanned (image-only) PDFs trigger an amber acknowledgement — AM can’t auto-redact what it can’t read, so you confirm no PII first
  • Save-PDF-first retry — if AI extraction fails mid-flow, the redacted PDF is already in the workfile; retry with one click, no re-upload
  • End-to-end field merge — property, borrower, contacts, dates, loan purpose, occupancy type, number of units, forms requested
  • Workflow re-seed when the LOE supplies a report type that was empty at import
  • Original PDF is never persisted; only the redacted version lands in your workfile

AI Transparency & Control

Every AI Touch, Labeled and Logged

Local-first by design. Every QC finding is tagged as Local, AI, or Local + AI so you know exactly what came from a rule vs. a model. Admins can switch AI judgment off per-company. And you can export a complete AI audit trail for any order in one click — ready to hand to an AMC, lender, or client reviewer.

Pre-Submit QC results showing a 90% score with 52 passed and 6 flagged items. A trust strip indicates 'Local QC (6 checks • 6 flagged • 2ms)' and 'AI Judgment applied to remaining items', with a note that local checks run on-server with no data sent to AI while AI checks redact borrower name, loan number, and case number before sending to Anthropic Claude.
  • Source badges on every QC finding — “Local” / “AI” / “Local + AI” with hover tooltips explaining provenance
  • Per-company kill switch — flip AI judgment off for your whole company from Settings → Company. Deterministic Step 1 checks keep running either way.
  • One-click AI audit export — JSON or CSV per order with Anthropic DPA links inline, account-admin scoped
  • Borrower PII tokenized before any AI call — loan #, case #, SSN, email, phone all redacted before Step 2; rehydrated only on the response you see
  • Two-step architecture — Step 1 runs locally (no AI, no network); Step 2 is optional, always disclosed, and never the first pass
  • Per-user first-run disclosure — every teammate acknowledges AI use before their first Step 2 run
  • Public subprocessor list — /subprocessors shows every vendor we use, what data they touch, and where
