SVI understands that some lending institutions prefer to manage their own appraisal panel, that’s why we developed Valuation Intelligence (VI) Direct. Everything SVI has learned managing and delivering millions of appraisal reports is built into our SaaS offering.
Traditional real estate appraisal management is a protracted process that is complicated, time-consuming and steeped in paperwork. It requires multiple people to coordinate varying tasks and track down information from numerous contacts, further complicating and slowing down the process. But what if there was a solution that enabled lenders to manage all aspects of appraisal management in a singular, efficient platform?
The good news: there is.
Stewart’s Valuation Intelligence (VI) Direct is a state-of-the-art SaaS solution that handles all the necessary aspects of appraiser assignment, tracking, QC and payment processing – it even eliminates the need for a Trust Account.
With VI Direct, you can oversee the entire appraisal process in-house, with streamlined overhead and staffing.
For some reason, many in the industry assume that adopting new technology or moving to a new process is also a time-consuming, arduous process. VI Direct enables you to have the program up and running in a week’s time — just seven days. It will take you less time to implement VI Direct than it takes to complete all the tasks that this program will handle.
Let us prove it to you.
Below is a real example of the VI Direct onboarding process. At the end of this seven-day period, you will have a revolutionary appraisal management system that will save you time, money and increase your customer and appraiser loyalty.
