Fill the valuation gap

Not every loan needs the same valuation. Flex Appraisal provides USPAP- and FIRREA-compliant appraisals without the traditional full scope, ideal for lending environments where speed, compliance, and cost efficiency are crucial, such as:

Home equity lending

Non-QM underwriting

When analytics are insufficient

Move through underwriting faster

The assigned, licensed appraiser remains responsible for the valuation. The appraisal may use multiple property data sources tailored to underwriting needs. If included, inspections provide insights into the current condition while maintaining a limited scope. Flex Appraisal can be ordered as:

1

Desktop only

2

Desktop with interior/exterior Property Condition Inspection (PCI)

3

Desktop supported by an existing PCI ordered within the prior six months
