Verisite is a mobile appraisal solution for smartphones and iPads that provides a more efficient way for financial institutions to get interior and exterior property inspection reports and collateral valuation data. Utilizing cutting edge mobile technology for real-time property detail and an extensive suite of fraud prevention features, homeowners and other data collectors can easily gather interior photos and descriptions, then provide this data to lenders, appraisers and AMCs for assistance in developing appraisal reports.
Verisite is primarily a lender-driven tool, and now it is accessible as a direct resource for appraisers and appraisal management companies to request interior property information from the homeowner directly via mobile device. Appraisers and AMCs can quickly access the information provided by the homeowner on the Verisite deliverable to help develop reports pursuant to flexibilities offered by Lender Letter LL-2020-04, published April 1st 2020 by the GSEs. The Verisite Photo Report can also be used as an addendum or exhibit to continue to provide lenders with interior inspection details to maximize quality.
“Verisite is not just for lenders,” said David Chiappe, President of SharperLending, the company behind the Verisite and Appraisal Firewall technologies. “For over two years, Verisite has been a viable mobile appraisal solution for credit unions, banks, and mortgage companies for their purchase, refinance and HELOC transactions. During this pandemic, we are seeing additional opportunities to extend health and safety to other audiences, and we are pleased to provide more value to appraisers and AMCs.”
