Eliminate Phone Tag and Scale Your Appraisal Volume with AI
Stop losing billable hours to scheduling calls and AMC status updates. Our AI agent integrates with ACI and a la mode to handle your logistics 24/7.
The appraisal industry is currently squeezed between tightening turn-around times and the administrative burden of USPAP compliance and AMC communication. With average fees ranging from $400 to $600 per report, an appraiser’s profitability is directly tied to their ability to minimize 'windshield time' and administrative friction. Every minute spent playing phone tag with a homeowner or responding to a Mercury Network status request is a minute not spent on analysis or site inspection.
Large appraisal firms often struggle with the volume of revision requests and scheduling logistics. Our AI Phone Agent bridges the gap by acting as a virtual office manager that understands the nuances of the appraisal process—from verifying property access to confirming delivery deadlines—ensuring that your desk stays clear for high-value valuation work and report writing.
Problems We Solve
Endless Scheduling Loops
Homeowners and agents often don't answer the first call. The AI agent performs persistent, professional follow-up to secure inspection windows without you ever picking up the phone.
AMC Status Pressure
AMCs demand constant updates. The AI can provide real-time status on inspection dates and estimated report delivery, keeping your Mercury Network or Anow scores high for more order allocations.
Revision Request Bottlenecks
Instead of manual intake, the AI logs specific revision requests from lenders, categorizes them by urgency, and alerts the appraiser immediately to maintain 24-hour turn times.
After-Hours Lead Loss
New private appraisal orders often go to whoever answers first. Our AI captures these leads at 9 PM on a Sunday, providing instant pricing based on your fee schedule and scheduling the inspection.
