Appraisal Modernization
A SingleSource for your Appraisal Modernization and Data Collection Needs
What is appraisal modernization?
Appraisal modernization is the process of utilizing a variety of valuation products in order to better match the valuation to the risk of the loan transaction and make the entire process more efficient for all parties. The GSEs have been accumulating large amounts of appraisal data over the years to create their databases which are the basis for the appraisal modernization initiative. Appraisal is changing through this process, but it’s not going away. It’s only evolving to different levels of analysis.
Who Benefits?
There are many reasons why the appraisal modernization program has been created and there are many benefits to all parties in the mortgage space. Lenders experience shortened loan origination cycle times, consumers save money and time in their loan application, and service providers like SingleSource can utilize a larger network of data collectors to reduce any potential appraiser capacity issues.
How can you get started?
Our advice to lenders: find a compliant full-service provider that can offer you the latest technology and a range of product offerings.
As a licensed AMC, SingleSource offers a range of valuation and data collection products to support the appraisal modernization program. Our suite of solutions is backed by our proprietary mobile application, SingleVue™.
We have designed SingleVue™ to assist data collectors with a simple, user-friendly interface to quickly gather details and a digital layout of a property. The mobile technology also allows for additional features through our third-party mobile data collection partnerships including digital scans for producing floor plans. These options give our clients the best technology available in the market today, all in one place. We like to stay true to our name, and our reputation as the SingleSource for the industry.

The SingleSource risk based valuation model
Not only do we provide valuation services, but we also often help our customers develop collateral risk management programs to help them make the best risk-based decisions.
Many times our clients aren’t sure what valuation product to order. We recommend always assessing the risk of the transaction before selecting an appropriate option to determine a property’s value. Rather than relying on a full appraisal for every property, we suggest our customers manage their collateral risk by looking at several factors including total loan to value, borrower credit score, borrower reserves, property type, and, for fix and flip loan products, size of the repair budgets.
Check out our Risk-Based Valuation Model to help you choose the right valuation depending on the loan level risk:
*Type of Borrower Definitions:
- *Very Low Risk (VLR) – Excellent credit, assets, equity, high cash reserves, steady income
- *Low Risk (LR) – Good credit, some equity, low cash reserves, steady income
- *Medium Risk (MR) – Mid-level credit, some equity, no assets, low reserves, self-employed or new job
- *High Risk (HR) – Low credit score, low equity, no assets, no reserves, several jobs
