Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co.: On The Cutting Edge of Appraisal Technology
We're just going to come right out and admit something: We are technology junkies. From smart phones, to laptops, GPS, you name it. Call us geeks. Call us nerds. Call us what you will, but by all means, call us at (801)599-4747 for appraisal orders in Davis County! Why? I'm glad you asked.
In recent years, appraisals have become more scrutinized than ever before. Cutting corners on analysis isn't an option for an ethical appraiser. So, the logical place to save time is in our daily workflow. The appraisers that have continuously embraced new technology have been the ones able to consistently satisfy their customers with more accurate reports, better customer service and faster turnaround times.
Take a look at how Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. makes ordering easier
Way back when, most of our orders were ordered 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 receive a text message on my phone. I can even log into this 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.
Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. understands that real estate is all about timeliness. We aim to reduce waiting between communications since the speed at which we get things done directly effects your bottom-line. Through features on this website, we can actually speed up the entire appraisal process.
Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. believes in working smarter
Gathering the data for an appraisal is a demanding process. We spend a lot of our time collecting both specific information about the subject property and general data about the local market and developing trends. Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. takes advantage of technology to close the gap once again.
We've learned that taking notes the standard way, using pencil and paper, generally takes longer since we we have to enter everything back in at the office. Don't be surprised to see me with a tablet PC or collecting data using a program written for my phone that even lets me sketch a floorplan right on site. Rather then using that clumsy outdated tape measure, more and more appraisers are starting to use laser measuring devices that are quicker, more accurate, and can get into places that normal tape measures have always had problems with.
Using this technology allows us to ensure that your report is accurate. requiring fewer call-backs and revisions. Our goal is to save you time and money.
Here at Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. we want you to know you have more options to receive your report.
At a very minimum, you can expect me to deliver your final report electronically as a PDF. 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 when everything was on paper. But, we've even been able to innovate how you receive your report with this website.
Ever lost a file that was sent to you? Or have you ever had an attachment blocked because of the file size? We've come up with a solution for those problems, too. When I deliver an appraisal through this website, the client is e-mailed a download link to retrieve the PDF. By bypassing email completely we can get around any problems caused by file size. And the download link is good for 90 days. So if you lose the file, you can log back into my site and retrieve it again without even calling me or waiting for me to get to my computer so I can send it again.
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 must 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, Provident Appraisal & Consulting Co. uses all the technology at our disposal technology to improve service. By storing every aspect of the appraisal - notes, sketches, supporting documentation and calculations - along with the appraisal electronically, we skip the paper file cabinets and only need our computer to recall just what that job was about.
We just wanted to give you a little bit of insight into how we use our technology daily. Using the right software, services, gadgets and gizmos allows the appraiser to deliver reports quicker, more efficiently and with higher degrees of accuracy.
