Address, meet analytics.
No property is exactly alike, so why use a one-size-fits-all approach to valuation? Clear Capital’s home equity solution accurately — and automatically — chooses the right valuation product for every scenario.
1
Valuation Complexity Score
It starts with a property address. We run analytics on a number of factors — including square footage, lot size, bed/bath count, and more — to generate a Valuation Complexity Score that numerically represents how difficult the property will be to value.
2
Lending-Grade Automated Valuation Model (AVM)
Next, we run the property through ClearAVM™, our incredibly accurate, lending-grade AVM, that generates a value with unparalleled precision.
3
Human Review
Finally, everything is reviewed by our highly-trained team. Based on the Valuation Complexity Score, ClearAVM, and human review, we confidently choose the right valuation product to effectively value the property while saving time and lowering costs.
