Each photo provides verification and flags if there are duplicate photos, photos taken prior to the inspection request, photos taken from a location other than the subject property and photos without metadata.
VALIDITY uses unique, non-sequential appraiser and homeowner link codes that expire after 30 days. Once the homeowner submits their completed inspection they have no access to the report unless the appraiser sends a request for rework. All photos and other inspection data are transmitted securely and stored in an encrypted repository. Time and location metadata verification and non-verified flagging provides the appraiser with valuable risk mitigation, which is further enhanced by the two-way communication functionality allowing the appraiser to requests any needed clarification and explanation from the homeowner.
