Progressive / Gap Products

AMCO and eValu
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, AMCO is one of the largest relocation/appraisal management firms in the industry, specializing in appraisal management since 1985.

Working directly with lenders’ risk management departments, AMCO facilitates the development of cost-effective risk management solutions. By matching their unique line of products to lenders’ demographics, AMCO helps reduce risk, cycle-time, and per-unit loan costs.

On this foundation of quality, AMCO built eValu, the valuation product that fills the gap between AVMs and traditional appraisal products. With eValu, AMCO is the only firm that provides lenders with a full complement of valuation solutions, enhancing underwriting and processing.

eValu: Filling the Valuation Gap
eValu is the first patent-pending and USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) approved alternative valuation product. Using proprietary software and the best AVMs, eValu allows a local certified appraiser to make a professional judgment on the appropriate valuation method for the subject property:

The appraiser runs an AVM on the subject property, reviews the output, and determines if it is appropriate. If the data supports a valuation, an eValu Report is issued. If the appraiser does not agree with the output, s/he completes a Desktop Valuation.

The Desktop Valuation is a limited appraisal that is completed without inspection of the subject property or comparables. If the Desktop Valuation supports an acceptable value, an eValu Report is issued. If a Desktop Valuation is inappropriate for a property of this type, the appraiser can request an upgrade to a traditional appraisal product.

Advantages over traditional appraisals and drive-bys:

• Faster - 85% of all eValu orders are completed within 24 hours; many within 4-6 hours. Contrast these results with industry averages of 3-4 days for desktops.
• Less expensive - Lenders save very substantial valuation costs; about $130 per file
• Comparable accuracy - Blind test results resulted only a 6% deviation from benchmark 1004
• Can be used in non-disclosure states

Advantages over AVMs

• Superior coverage and accuracy
• Geographic competency of the local appraiser
