HouseCanary has extended its all-in-one appraisal software from desktop to mobile devices, the company announced.
HouseCanary Appraiser helps residential appraisers nationwide complete appraisals faster, leveraging HouseCanary’s proprietary algorithms drawing on more than 1 billion U.S. historical home transactions and hundreds of current demand inputs collected at the block level, and providing that data directly to appraisers for their analysis, according to the company’s release.
The tool that allows appraisers to complete reports start-to-finish without costly plugins, Appraiser is widely recognized for simplifying a complex process by eliminating tedious data entry, automatically generating comparables with the smallest gross adjustments, and other easy-to-use features.
Now that those benefits are available on tablets and iPhones, appraisers can complete reports while on site at the subject property.
“We’ve seen appraisers finish appraisals in under two hours using this single software — a complete game-changer,” said Steve O'Brien, HouseCanary's director of real estate analytics and an assessor and chief appraiser for over 35 years. “Adding integration with mobile phones makes this technology even more groundbreaking, making it the most robust appraisal solution available on mobile. Imagine producing UAD compliant appraisal reports in half the time, wherever you need to work.”
As a cloud-based solution, HouseCanary Appraiser comes equipped with real-time data sync, providing the fluidity to switch from computer to tablet or iPhone without missing a beat. Built as a native app specifically for mobile devices, Appraiser can be accessed anywhere without clunky mobile web browsers.
“By drawing on its unique core competence in data, HouseCanary has been able to make some truly unique and powerful enhancements to appraisal technology,” Dart Appraisal President Michael Dresden said. “They’re not merely a software company, they’re a supplier of property analytics to mortgage lenders and saw the opportunity to supply the same data to appraisers to make them more accurate.”
