Valuation Tools
Estimating value prior to ordering an appraisal is critical to sales efficiency and customer credibility. Traditional reasons for appraiser contact are already illegal in fourteen states and many more states have pending regulatory plans to do the same. We anticipate that soon regulator and/or investor policies will impose strict fines and penalties on originators, appraisers and lenders that informally "collaborate" regarding values prior to completing an official appraisal.
Consumer perception of value frequently exceeds true market value. The use of valuation tools can help you spot valuation issues upfront, saving you hours of your time. StreetLinks provides a comprehensive suite of compliant value estimation tools to assist in the pre-estimation of property value. Use of one or more of these tools will help you pre-determine an accurate value estimate to assist in structuring appropriate loan offers: Free Resources:
