It appears that Alamode/Total can mine your report data for this "new service" --- marketed via recent update as:
"Unlike MLS systems, public records, and other sources you currently use to verify property details, SmartExchange gives you immediate access to pure, UAD formatted appraisal data provided by other appraisers who've opted in to the program" ---> what's to prevent them from mining your report data during transmission when uploading/emailing/delivering, or accessing directly from your computers which "house" Total software? Anyone else have privacy/control/data ownership concerns?
Also - considered as separate parts -- data is worth much more combined & analyzed by an appraiser... and can be a pandora's box if comp data is reported incorrectly by one appraiser and then used subsequently by others?
What will be appraiser's compensation for the data they provide?
Your thoughts?
