Desktop Valuation Reports*

Home / Valuation / Desktop Valuation Reports

Customized Hybrid Solutions to Meet Your Individual Valuation Needs

With the widest variety of customized hybrid solutions in this specialized category, we offer alternative reports that combine the best of online data (sales history, comparable sales, trend analysis, and more) with an opinion of value from an experienced staff appraiser.

When market coverage for AVM products is limited or hit rates are unsatisfactory, a Desktop Valuation Report, incorporating the experience and skill of a professional real estate analyst, is the next step in the valuation progression.

Our Desktop Solutions Include:

  • Equity Valuation Report ("EVR Plus") - An EVR specialist uses online data sources and public data to gather information about sales history, comparable sales, and trend analysis. Market data is then analyzed, reconciled and delivered as an opinion of value.
  • Collateral Assessment Report ("CAR") - The Collateral Assessment Report provides desk review processes and real property analysis outcomes. This information is reported and delivered in a detailed format with an opinion of value. If the values reported appear logical and are deemed appropriate, then no further upgrade or fee appraisal service is required.
  • Broker Price Opinion ("BPO") - The BPO is used to value properties in situations where the expense or delay of an appraisal is not necessary; may be an effective alternative valuation solution in cases such as portfolio review or REO Management. We offer customizable reports from our proprietary network of over 15,000 real estate professionals; tracked electronically for speed and quality. Upon completion of a BPO, each broker is assigned a rating based on overall quality and turn time. Assignments are distributed to brokers who have the highest score rating in that particular zip code.
