\n\u201cWe start using Collateral Expert the moment we receive an appraisal order and keep using it through the entire appraisal process,\u201d said Stephen French, executive vice president of operations for Nations Valuation Services. \u201cIt is saving us about 60 front-end labor hours per week and has reduced back-end revisions. That is a major advance for us, because quality and cycle times are the two most important issues to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collateral Expert is an address-driven, interactive property information report. It provides AMCs and lenders with finger-tip information on the subject property and nearby sales, in addition to scores and ratings that include a complexity score and value range. It can be used to enhance a wide range of collateral-related workflow activities, from verifying information and disclosing appraisal fees, to underwriting and reviewing appraisals and post-closing quality control.<\/p>\n
Nations Valuation Services uses Collateral Expert as soon as it receives an appraisal order. \u201cWe have a technology that analyzes the complexity score, nearby property data and other data points, then automatically assigns the appraisal to the appropriate appraiser,\u201d said French. \u201cWe also automatically cross reference the parcel number and verify appropriate property usage for the assignment. Those three points allow us to avoid issues on about 92 percent of our appraisals\u2014issues that would normally cause hours- or even days-long delays.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSmart companies like Nations Valuation Services know that a lot of costly collateral-related mistakes are 100 percent avoidable,\u201d said Phil Huff, president and CEO of Platinum Data. \u201cThey use products like Collateral Expert because they know there\u2019s no downside to faster, higher quality transactions. We\u2019re proud to support Nations Valuation Services in their quest for continued longevity, profitability and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
