Commercial appraisal and technology - where will we be in five years?
Commercial appraisal is changing. The Internet is
being flooded with data, such as planning regulations, commercial listings, free
public records info, etc. Commercial real estate transaction management Web
sites are popping up every few weeks. But for many appraisers, report production
is still in the "Stone Age" as compared with residential appraisals.
Some don’t even use the Internet on a daily basis.
- Internet delivery of software programs, data
sources, etc.
- Online mapping - streets, environmental,
planning, etc.
- When will we have to buy new computers?

appraisal reports

Residential appraisal and technology - where
will we be in five years?
Residential appraising is changing fast. How can appraisers get ready for the
changes? Is there any alternative to cheaper, faster, "give me what I
need." Can appraisers provide the alternate valuation products their
clients need? What do right size, downsize, re-engineering, partnering,
alliances, outsourcing, and one-stop shopping mean for appraisers?
- EDI, XML, X12, what does it all mean?
- Is the virtual appraiser just a lot of hype?
- What hardware and software will we need?
- What do right size, downsize, and one-stop
shopping mean for appraisers?
