I hope this is true.

I personally don’t believe there’s any stopping this train at this point.

With my pen, graph paper, camera, and measuring tool, I can go into a house in less than 10 minutes for nonFHA appraisals and be out of there. Much faster than using mobile device in the house.
I personally don't want an appraiser loitering in my house for 30 minutes.
Get in and get out. Within 10 minutes, I can understand the characteristics of subject and go concentrate finding the right comps.

10 minutes? Data Collectors spend at least 20.

There’s nothing easier than using the Total app for the inspection. Saves a ton of time and uploads right to the desktop program. Once you’ve done it, there’s no going back.

Do you use a tablet or your cellphone?

 

[Dale Floyd]

My appraisers and assistants use their iPhones but I personally use the newer iPad mini that has a flash with its camera. It’s the perfect tool.

That, and our laser measuring devices, is all we need in the field.

What about my steel tape and my wheel....lmao

Comes in real handy, especially on commercial. I have tried steel. I don't like it. I like fiberglass. I like tape better than wheel.

BTW, do you have a laser? They makes those these days. Don't shoot it at an airplane or anybody Glenn.

When is last appraisal you did BTW? Can you share with the group? What type of property was it?

 

[DWiley]

He’s correct that it has suffered tons of delays in the past.

Hmmm. News to me.

My problem when I tried to incorporate a tablet into the inspection was simply being able to see the device in bright light conditions. Glare, reflection, and anything down outside was nigh impossible for my old eyes to see. I went back to paper. Secondly, without voice command, writing notes are virtually impossible. And some chatterbox borrower following around and talking gets recorded as well.

Of course, it's never going to impact me because I haven't done secondary market for well over a decade, but that technology seems to be limited to eagle eyes to me. Inside the house, maybe. But I loathe tablet and phone photos. They are awkward to operate for me. I also have very dry skin and find touch capacitive devices often don't respond until I lick my fingers. Is a real problem with my current phone.
