Computer-Aided Appraising
What is it?
It is the concept of harnessing the power of
computers and technology to assist and
empower the appraiser with capabilities that
allow them to produce highly credible valuations
Today…
Appraisers have Powerful Form Fillers
And a lot of manual work!

Time to Complete an Appraisal
• I typically spend 4 to 5 hours on a report not
including field work with research and analysis
taking up most of the time
• 4-6 hours once I get started
• The clerical, research and analysis phases,
plus the actual time spent writing the report
usually totals up to about 4 hours

Why are Appraisers in this Position?
Why don’t appraisers already have
computer-aided appraising technology?
Appraising is considered an “Art”

But Ever Since 1981…
These Black Box property valuation systems
have been getting better and better every year.
But Ever Since 1981…
Their usage continues to grow
But Ever Since 1981…
“Each month, we provide more than one billion
AVM values to lenders, brokers, government
agencies, marketing firms, consumers and
insurance companies”.
Today Valuation is BIG Business
Property Valuation has become a Science
• Team of more than 50 PhDs, economists, and
modelers
• Combined with nation’s largest property and
ownership database covering 98 percent of
the U.S. population
• Equals “Good Enough” property valuations
Appraising has to be more than “art”
The “art of
appraising”
has to be
augmented by
the “science
of appraising”

Big Data-AVM Review Systems
Appraisers are being reviewed & scored by
systems that utilize massive amounts of data
• Data from AVM indicates the appraised value
may be in excess of the neighborhood
• Requests to reconsider comp selection
• Requests for additional influence explanation
• Requests for comp adjustment support
• etc.
Big Data-AVM Review Systems
These review systems have access to
more property data and can process it
much, much faster than the appraiser.
Appraiser is at unfair disadvantage
Appraising is a “science”
Appraising is an “art”
How can we compete ?

Is Mobile Computing the Answer?
More Efficient Inspections

See More, Do More - Quicker
We Can Make Process More Efficient
But the Appraiser Cannot Compete
Appraising is a “science”

New Evaluation Guidelines
 1. Must provide reliable estimate of market value
 2. Must address property’s actual physical condition
 3. Must address market factors that affect value
BPO’s are not sufficient because it does not provide a market
value
CMA - Competitive market analysis is not sufficient because it
does not provide a market value
AVM alone is not sufficient because it does not include an
inspection of the property

50% of BPO’s is 7.5 million valuations
- these include drive-by inspections
If 62,000 appraisers divided these jobs evenly,
each must do 120 more valuations/year
These jobs pay $125 - $150; Each appraiser
could add up to $18,000 to their bottom line.

Are Appraisers Ready for the Future?
What One Appraiser Thinks
“Once you learn regression (really learn it) it
makes your life as an appraiser so much easier.
So much so that you really don’t need that silly
manual grid to come up with a credible value
opinion.”
