Appraisal Technology
Our appraisers utilize technology to
produce accurate high quality appraisal reports quickly!
Internet
appraisal delivery is now a reality. All you need is an email account
and the Adobe Acrobat reader. The report is sent as a PDF file. We can
also send reports as XML files.
If you don’t have the
Adobe reader you can download it here
(free!).
We utilize
Wintotal 2000 appraisal software. This software provides a technology
solution for appraisal delivery using the industry
standard
ANSI X12 format.
Bain & Associates
participated in the beta testing of the most recent version of the
software.
Complete
appraisal reports with digital color photos, secure digital
signatures, sketches, and supporting documents can be sent in less
than five minutes.
The Employee Relocation Council (ERC)
is scheduled to begin transmitting electronic relocation reports in
2000 using the eRelay system. This is a relocation industry owned
system providing nonproprietary electronic delivery. It is based upon
the X12 format. Bain & Associates is a participant in beta testing
and has attended training in Houston, Texas.
Each
report includes a detailed floor plan and includes
exterior wall measurements and interior room details.
