What is RemoteVal?
RemoteVal™ is the industry’s first appraiser-driven remote inspection tool. It is designed to keep appraisers in control of a virtual property inspection through advanced remote video technology. It enables you to visually observe, remotely photograph, and remotely scan a property to generate a floor plan. As a turnkey web-based software for appraisers, you utilize the tool on a pay-per-use basis, setting your own fees and controlling the inspection without the need to rely on third-party data.
What types of assignments can it be used for?
A virtual property inspection is a potential option for a Hybrid appraisal inspection, as well as a Fannie Mae 1004D final inspection. For cases in which Hybrid appraisals are allowed, appraisers can complete virtual property inspections for the 1004 Hybrid/70H by using the RemoteVal tool. And with Fannie Mae’s leadership in allowing virtual inspections for 1004D Completion/Repair inspections, appraisers can utilize RemoteVal to save the windshield time and deliver timely reports for lenders on appropriate Fannie Mae assignments.
Please note: Freddie Mac has not released any flexibility in allowing a virtual inspection for the 1004D/442 Completion/Repair inspection. The information above references Fannie Mae’s appraisal requirements and may not be applicable to Freddie Mac’s appraisal assignments.
