AI in appraisal management

An appraisal is needed when we are buying or selling a property whether it’s commercial or residential.

It’s  an honest valuation done by an impartial third person looking at the property not with the eyes of the seller overvalued or undervalued by the buyer.

It’s needed even for tax purposes and a must for obtaining loans to purchase or lease it.

Seller pays for it.

Not all appraisal companies are trusted by lending companies unless they are reputed and experienced in the valuation of real estate properties.

I remember I paid $1600 for the Appraisal of the property I was selling in Denver Colorado but he had written things not at all favourable as regarding the painting for example.

But I understood he did that to be honest and that’s how he could be trusted.

No home buying process is complete without an honest appraisal that can be trusted by both buyer and lender including the seller.

Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)

Based on mathematical formula, automated valuation without photos  lenders and buyers could not get an idea of the value of the property.

Now it’s changing with modern AI.

Appraisal is not about how many bedrooms or bathrooms. It’s also about the topography and elevation of the property and how far it’s from bus stops etc. What is the nearby rentals and foreclosures etc add to the value of the property.

If the property has been remodeled in recent years it will add to the value of the property.

Buyers and lenders want to know if the kitchen was updated and the condition of the interior and the exterior walls also determine the value of the property.

New technology determines the value of the house using Google photos and street view for example to compare the past and present images.

These appraisals are more valuable than some appraiser going into the kitchen and taking some random photos.

 Today the appraiser is saving time making appraisals using these tools of technology without even entering the property.
