…and a couple of extensions.
To say that things have been busy around here would be an understatement. The whole eppraisal.com team has been burning the midnight oil to ensure we were able to release our faster, better looking and more enticing version of eppraisal.com.
Besides the complete redesign, you can now enjoy the following features:
Appraisal Network – We’re partnered with professional appraisers across the country so that you can now not only get your snapshot view of what your home is worth (the eppraisal), but also get a professional appraisal that you can take to the bank!
Neighborhood Information – the first phase of our improved information on neighborhoods is now available. This primarily consists of schools both on the school district level and detailed information on the elementary, middle and high schools in the immediate area. The neighborhood informatio also consists of basic demographic data put into graphs for easy readability.
City Overviews – eppraisal.com now offers overviews for almost every city in the US. (Below is a completely random snapshot of Gatlinburg, TN) The city overview covers demographic data in graphs on the population, household and education.
120,000,000 Homes Nationwide – Our database has grown and we now have access to the largest database of properties in the country.
Other changes and improvements:
- eppraisal.com Labs – try out our new Firefox extension. We’re also working on a few more widgets, so check back here soon.
- Local weather information
- More comps for each property searched
- Search history (if you have an account)

Erik,
Checked out the new look on eppraisal…very cool. The extra neighborhood data that is generated is going to be very useful. Tell the team, keep up the good work.
[...] Here is a basic overview of the features, but I’ve written more on each on our real estate blog: [...]
You guys are headed in the right direction. Valuation by professionals you can take to the bank. nice.
looks like you’re learning from the arrogsnce of your competitors. Don’t overcommit and undeliver they way they do. Also, your name allows you to call an estimate, an “estimate”. cool.
We sat back and really looked at what our user base was coming to eppraisal.com for and realized that many were wanting to find that first snapshot, but also wanted to get a “real” appraisal done.
Anyway, we think it’s a differentiator and puts us squarely where we want to be with our professional real estate partners.
Can your REALLY take that appraisal to the BANK?!
Darn! There’s That Pesky USPAP again! – Here’s what the ASB’s January 2006 Q&A has to say about appraisers that have been engaged directly by the homeowner: http://tinyurl.com/28ls7z
Question: I was contacted by homeowners who want me to perform an appraisal of their home to be used for a loan at a federally regulated financial institution. What are my responsibilities in this potential assignment?
Response: It is an appraiser’s responsibility to disclose to the homeowners that a lender or its agent is required by Title XI of FIRREA to directly engage the services of an appraiser in a federally related transaction. If the homeowners still want to engage you, your disclosure allows you to accept the assignment.
Additional information can be found in Advisory Opinion 25, Clarification of the Client in a Federally Related Transaction http://tinyurl.com/2xbd4m and the October 2006 Q&A on Intended Users & Intended Use.

Great appraisals. I’m loving the design though. It’s very eye catching and those graphs on population information are simply showing the track.
