With Redstone, It's Like the Reviewer Can Read your Mind.
Avoid Reviewer Call Backs
Looking at your appraisal report, can a reviewer determine the methodology you used to select your comparables or how you determined your adjustment factors? While you may have selected the most appropriate Comps using your local market knowledge, is your process repeatable by other appraisers or reviewers? With Redstone, you can analytically select your comps by using three ranking scores: Characteristic Matching, Nearness Ranking and Appraiser Weighting and these scores are combined into a final ranking that demonstrates clearly that you've analyzed the market to determine your comp selections and ranking. Reviewers don't have to call you for clarification about why you didn't include a certain property if they can clearly see your methodology and ranking.
