Home Base AppraisalDesk
The technology behind local expertise at national scale — built to make our people faster, not to replace them.
AI handles the routine
People handle the judgment
You get both — on every file
What AppraisalDesk actually does — and why it matters for your pipeline.
The literal engine of local expertise, everywhere.
When an order comes in, AppraisalDesk doesn't broadcast it to every appraiser in a zip code and wait for a race to accept. It evaluates our entire vetted panel — grade, geography, track record, current workload — and matches that specific order to the best available local appraiser for it. No guesswork, no favoritism, no lowest-bidder logic. Every assignment is a deliberate decision made in seconds.
Appraiser grading runs A–F per completed report. Grade determines assignment priority. High performers get more work; lower grades get fewer opportunities until they improve.
Problems surfaced before they become your problem.
AppraisalDesk monitors every active file and flags it when something is off — an appraiser who hasn't accepted, a report approaching a deadline, a communication gap that could cause a delay. The system sends automated updates to clients and automated follow-ups to appraisers. What it can't resolve automatically gets routed to your account team immediately — not after a deadline is missed.
Most AMCs wait for clients to call asking for status. AppraisalDesk makes that call unnecessary by surfacing issues in real time, before they escalate.
Order, track, and receive — in your workflow, not ours.
Lenders can place and track orders directly through the AppraisalDesk client portal — or route everything through their existing LOS without changing how they work. We integrate with Encompass, Reggora, eTrac, Appraisal Port, CoreLogic, Mercury Network, ValuPad, ValuLink, Land Gorilla, and more via direct connection or API. If your team works in a system, we probably connect to it already.
New client setup doesn't require a platform migration. Your team keeps working the way it does — AppraisalDesk meets it there.
The machine does the checklist. The expert does the judgment call.
When a report is submitted, AppraisalDesk runs an automated first-pass: file labeling, completeness flags, photo checks, and compliance markers. Everything that automation can verify, it does — immediately. Then every report goes to a human QC specialist before delivery. Our team members pass a USPAP exam before they ever touch a file. They know what to look for. The automation makes them faster; it doesn't replace what they bring.
This is the two-layer model that catches what either approach alone misses — automated consistency, human judgment on the edge cases.
Every hour AppraisalDesk saves goes back into people — more attention on your file, faster answers, better service. That's efficiency reinvested, not pocketed.
Home Base Philosophy
AppraisalDesk meets your team where it already works.
The technology earns its keep by making the team better — not smaller.
AppraisalDesk was built to free our account team from the work a machine can do — so they can focus on the work only a person should do. That means every complex file gets undivided attention. Every lender relationship gets maintained by a real person who knows the account. Every problem that needs judgment gets it.
Our team members pass a 6-week internal training program and a USPAP exam before they touch an active order. That isn't a box we checked — it's what makes them capable of the judgment calls AppraisalDesk flags for human review.
