appraiserConnect.com Unveils New Appraisal CONCIERGETM Service

Leader in online inspection & appraisal management systems, introduces CONCIERGE, which offers an affordable, effective option for outsourcing appraisal management, without changing the current business practices of today’s mortgage professionals.

CULVER CITY, CA - January 16, 2007-
2007 – In response to customer demand, ValuFinders, Inc., parent company and creator of appraiserConnect.com, introduced the Appraisal CONCIERGE, offering an increased level of service and support for mortgage brokers seeking assistance with the management of their appraisal process.

Built from the proven inspection tracking systems supplied to the U.S. Department of HUD, appraiserConnect’s CONCIERGE service not only gives brokers and lenders a complete solution to outsourcing all their appraisal processing requirements, but also offers access to industry-leading valuation products to assist in the pre-qualification of collateral prior to ordering a full appraisal.

When mortgage professionals place appraisal orders through CONCIERGE, the system does the rest including: sourcing an appraiser from appraiserConnect’s National Network (or work with the broker or lender’s existing local appraisers), coordination and confirmation of the delivery date and fee, tracking orders from acceptance to delivery, automatic email notifications at each step during the process, and a five-year appraisal archive.

“Just as the name suggests, CONCIERGE has been created to offer a level of service to Mortgage Brokers and Lenders that seeks not only to identify quality appraisers throughout the U.S. but also to provide an additional layer of management throughout the process”, said Joe Williams, President & CEO of ValuFinders., Inc.

Mr. Williams added, “The goal of CONCIERGE is to offer many of the features of an online appraisal management company without requiring the broker and appraiser to change the way they typically do business.”

CONCIERGE’s service programs are available for Individual Loan Officers up to Multi-Office Enterprise organizations.

ValuFinders, Inc., the parent company of appraiserConnect (www.appraiserconnect.com), was founded in 1999 to provide an array of real-estate collateral risk and valuation products, including automated valuation models (AVMs), desk reviews, inspections, appraisals, rental surveys and online tracking products. ValuFinders’ client list includes, Countrywide Home Loans, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA).
