Just to clarify on the Appraiser Machine, the “less than one appraisal” line is referring to the monthly price is less than what you’d charge for a single report. It’s $99/mo flat (or $199 for teams), unlimited orders, not per appraisal.

Give it a few months... Once the industry transitions to hybrid only assignments, you may have to change your advertising to 'for less than the cost of 1-2 appraisals'...

I've been playing with AIVRE's UAD app and it's pretty impressive. Upload the order/scope/contract and it auto populates throughout the report. Also you bulk upload all subject pics and it mostly correctly labels them too. Total so far hasn't done much other than just the form as far as I can tell so that's not going to work for me going further if they don't jump on the AI bandwagon. AIVRE offers 25 free reports to test it out though I haven't received a call/email when I inquired about the actual price. What are you offering that's 60% more than Total that has every form known to man plus an endless database of all of my custom entries for the private work I do?

I believe AIVRE's price point is going to be similar to that Mr. Barrett is quoting. It's not quite to market yet, but word is that Brian Zitin (Reggora) is developing a forms generating package that he is planning on offering for free. Last word I heard is that they're in testing with the GSE's.

Jake confirmed in a seminar that the per use fee idea has been dropped. Someone posted on FB that they were quoted $3k yearly for AIVRE. That sounds about right considering development costs. As for that Regorra guy, don't believe it until you see it.

Early on, Jake and crew were quoting a $59/$79/$99 structure (as I recall). That was about a year ago, though. Quick review of his page looks like they are planning on pricing it at the transactional level. My guess is that everyone's pricing structure will be fairly fluid until they see where the bulk of appraisers are going to alight. As for the Reggora guy - been using their services long enough now to know that Brian usually follows through. As I said to a good friend just a bit ago, though - I've been wrong before, and I'm almost certain I'll be wrong again at some point.

All new technology is a double edged sword. It's the people using it that matter.

I joined his beta on LinkedIn and haven't heard a single word from him about it. As far as per use I like how Spark does their fee structure. You can either pay per use or an all inclusive price which works great for high volume shops. Everyone wins, this $1,500 - $3,000 a year is crazy I'm prob staying with Total and see what they do if anything. I can type a report in a hour anyway how much time is this going to save. Much of the 3.6 is prob overblown I don't see it being much longer after I get used to it

During his seminar with AVS about a week ago he stated that a per use pricing plan was dropped.

The reason I doubt Regorra is two fold: 1) His 24 hour appraisal shtick he launched in October. Lead balloon. 2) There's just something else going on behind the scenes with this whole 3.6 debacle. And yes it's a debacle when established tech firms can't get a full working app to market after several years of trying. So I don't believe Brian can speak a street ready version of 3.6 software into existence or vibe code it over a weekend.

I wish the new comers luck. But AIVRE needs to start picking up subscribers, and fast, because his investors aren't going to wait much longer, that's just the nature of the funding backing him. And Brian, he wouldn't need to sell blue sky ideas like 24 hour appraisals to attract new investment if his platform was a money maker.

Just my take on the situation, I have no insider info.

Considering True Footage's founder confirmed he's building a proprietary database with millions of homes on the back of users of his software, I'll say "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." See below:

Austin-based True Footage Inc. filed a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of California against Automax AI, a Y Combinator startup, accusing it of stealing technology to create a competing product.

The complaint alleges that Automax founder and CEO Humza Ahmed faked real estate credentials to gain access to True Footage's established appraisal tools and subsequently used AI coding software to "vibe code" a copy of its products.
