Research

The Research app seamlessly integrates the power of LightBox LandVision to give appraisers a one-stop-shop for virtually all the property & market information they need for their appraisal reports, and automatically passes the collected data and images to the appraisal Report Writer. This saves appraisers thousands of dollars in third-party data subscriptions and eliminates several hours of manual work when researching the subject property.

In addition, the Research app has many error-prevention tools, such as smart site selection logic, which recommends adjustments to the subject property boundary when related properties are nearby and likely should have been part of the scope of work for the appraisal.

Report Writer

Report Writer is a robust suite of tools that includes everything you need to create professional appraisal reports in a fraction of the time.
