"We're merging technology and big data with Human Intelligence, or H.I., in a way that's both revolutionary and completely natural," said EVP's founder, Drew Watson.
Under EVP's model, the homeowner downloads EVP's free app and walks through their home to capture a specific series of images. That geo-tagged inspection data is then uploaded to EVP's valuation platform where an appraiser logs on and makes the determination of value in a process that takes a fraction of the usual 4-5 hours, according to Watson.
"We're performing appraisals today the same way we did thirty years ago – driving, measuring, inspecting and writing reports," offers Watson. "Our industry has been starving for a tool that allows appraisers to get back to what they do best which is analysis and reconciling value."
"We're depending on time-tested valuation methodology – our interface is just a new tool," added Watson. "For lenders that manage evaluations in-house, finding comps themselves or using an Automated Valuation Model (AVM), EVP-EVAL offers an actual appraisal. That means more accuracy and no compliance questions, as internal staff can get back to generating new business rather than inspecting properties. And with the potential jump in the de minimis loan amount requiring more in-house evaluations, lenders now have a tool to meet the demand. Borrowers like the convenience, and appraisers remain relevant at a time when technology is threatening their industry. It's a win all around."
