Appraisal Review & Collateral Due Diligence
Property Sciences is a market share leader in appraisal reviews, having built a reputation
for accuracy, fairness, and fast turnaround. Entrusted by numerous clients nationwide to
assist with their collateral due diligence, we would encourage any prospective client to
inquire within the industry as to their experiences and observations of Property Sciences’
strong understanding of the valuation process, superior level of service, and our unmatched
record of protection against fraud, buybacks, and poor collateral quality.
Lender Software Solutions
Property Sciences offers proprietary, web-based software solutions to assist lenders
with fully compliant single and/or multi-vendor management, allowing lenders and
their brokers and business partners to connect and collaborate electronically through
an easy-to-use originator-facing website that takes the appraisal process from start
to finish while staying fully compliant with GFE, TILA, AIR, and electronic GSE
delivery requirements.
We will privately label your public facing broker website, allowing you to directly
control the business processes. Originators can track the process in the appraisal
pipeline to determine the status of each order in the account. The viewable tracking
process includes receipt, acceptance, scheduling, appointment set, inspection, quality
control and possible addendums. Notations of any complications which may have arisen
within the process are also visible. Our lenders no longer worry about anything
other than closing loans; we insulate you from the technical details involved, reduce
your costs, increase efficiency and, most importantly, let you get down to business
– focusing on your loan pipeline. Property Sciences gives you the advantage with
standards-current solutions, streamlining your lending operation.
We offer a private label, plug-and-play version that allows you fully compliant
control over the appraisal management process, as well as a highly customized version
utilizing an XML feed that integrates into your current LOS for a very robust and
customer-specific solution to your lending operations.
Training Programs
Property Sciences offers on-going training programs to your staff in order for them
to better understand and manage appraisal risk. Our straightforward seminars can
be tailored to incorporate your specific company needs. Programs include single-family,
2-4 units, and reviewing procedures that educate underwriters, processors, and account
representatives.
