Gene Meyer Appraisals: Technically Advantaged Appraisers
Here at Gene Meyer Appraisals, we always try to be on the forefront of appraisal technology. We use the best and newest technology at our disposal to bring you high quality, accurate appraisals.
In recent years, appraisals have become more scrutinized than they ever have been before. We offer the highest quality appraisals, and cutting corners has never been an option for us. So, we've found that the best place to save time is by changing our workflow. Our continuous efforts to be the best have convinced us that keeping up with new technology allows us to provide more credible reports, quicker turnaround times and the very best in customer service.
Just look at how Gene Meyer Appraisals makes ordering easier
Years ago, the majority of orders were delivered via fax and were confirmed with phone calls once we got back to the office. It might be hours before a client even knew if we could do the order. Things are quite a bit different now and when an order is placed on the site, we receive a text message on our phones. We can even log into this site from the field and send back an e-mail confirmation – including the time and date for the inspection if we've been able to talk to the occupant.
At Gene Meyer Appraisals we understand it's all about "cycle time". We don't make you wait around for replies because we understand the speed at which we get things done directly effects your bottom-line. Through features on this website, we can actually reduce the amount of time needed for your appraisal.
Gene Meyer Appraisals is a pioneer in efficient data gathering
Gathering the data for an appraisal is an in-depth process. We spend a lot of our time gathering both specific information about the subject property and general data about the local market and developing trends. Once again, technology has stepped in to help Gene Meyer Appraisals.
Instead of using paper forms and pencils and then re-keying all the information back at the office, don't be surprised to see us with a tablet PC or collecting data using a program created for our phones that even lets us sketch a floorplan right on the spot. Rather than using that clumsy outdated tape measure, more and more appraisers are starting to use accurate laser measuring devices that also help measure hard to access areas.
Using this technology allows us to ensure that your report is accurate, requiring fewer call-backs and revisions. A real money saver for busy appraisal clients.
Modern appraisal report delivery ensures our clients have a number of ways to get their report
Delivery of appraisals as PDF files through e-mail is definitely the standard these days. Generally our clients are most comfortable with receiving PDFs attached to their e-mail. It's much more efficient than the old days when everything was on paper. But, we've even been able to innovate how you receive your report with this website.
Everyone knows how frustrating it is to lose a file. Or have you ever had an attachment blocked because it was too big? We have the technology to overcome those problems, too. Whenever we send an appraisal, the client is e-mailed a download link to retrieve the PDF. So, at that point, it doesn't matter if all the extra photos and maps in the report result in a large file that would normally be blocked by e-mail. And the best thing is that the file will be hosted on this site for 90 days. So if you lose the file, you can log back in here and retrieve it again - saving you time, since we won't even need to run back to the computer.
Gene Meyer Appraisals enhances its appraisal records by using Digital Workfiles
It would probably be easier if appraisers could complete an assignment, give it to the client and never worry about revisiting that document again. However, appraisals are used to demonstrate the condition of a property on the inspection date. Therefore, appraisers are required by law to keep their reports for 5 years, allowing them to recall any appraisal at any time to either defend the valuation or to be used in other legal proceedings.
Here again, Gene Meyer Appraisals uses all the technology at our disposal technology to improve service. We store every part of the appraisal - notes, sketches, supporting documentation and calculations - along with the appraisal electronically, we can pull up the entire file whenever it's needed and recall just what that report was about.
We just wanted to give you a little bit of insight into how we use our technology daily. Using the right software, services, gadgets and gizmos allows the appraiser to deliver reports quicker, more efficiently and with higher degrees of accuracy.
