Ordering and Tracking

Years ago, a great deal of orders arrived via fax and were confirmed with phone calls once appraisers returned to their offices. Often, in this scenario, it might have taken a while to hear back to see if the order could be accepted. These days, when orders are called in and/or text messages sent via i-phone, appraisers are able to call or send back confirmation when returned from another appraisal assignment, including the time and date for the inspection if able to speak with the occupant.

Passage Appraisal, LLC understands that real estate is all about timeliness. We use our resources to reduce waiting between communications since the speed at which we get things done directly effects the lender's bottom-line. This website definitely reduces cycle time for us and our clients by enhancing our communications.

Pioneers in efficient data gathering

Gathering the data for an appraisal is an in-depth process.

Once an appraiser has spent office time obtaining both specific information about the subject property and general data about the local market area and its developing trends, the next step in the process is the 'inspection.'
Passage Appraisal, LLC takes full advantage of technology to close the gap once again, using accurate laser measuring devices that also help measure those hard to access areas.

Differing technology ensures that the final report is as thorough and accurate as possible, requiring fewer call-backs and revisions - a real money saver for busy appraisal clients, lenders and purchasers of property.

Here at Passage Appraisal, LLC we make sure you have ample ways to receive your report.

At a very minimum, you can expect us to deliver your final report electronically as a PDF. Most of our clients prefer e-mail because we're all accustomed to getting attachments in e-mails. 

Everyone knows how frustrating it is to lose a file.

Have you ever had problems sending or receiving an e-mail because of the file size?  We have the 'know-it-all' to overcome those problems as well.  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.

It would be much easier if appraisers could never have to think about an assignment again after writing and giving it to the client. But one of the purposes of an appraisal is as a legal document outlining the condition of a property on a specific date. Therefore, appraisers need to keep all 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.

Summing up: Passage Appraisal, LLC uses all the technology available 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 precisely what that assignment was about.

Investing in the most useable software, services, gadgets and gizmos allows the appraiser to deliver reports quicker, more efficiently and with higher degrees of accuracy.
