- Geographic Competence -

Our competitors often assign appraisers from well outside the subject region.

Every Landmark appraisal report comes with a certificate of geographic competency, known as our GeoSelect certificate. This certification ensures the appraiser assigned to your file understands the market and travels a distance within our guidelines to the subject property.

- Payment Flexibility -

Our competitors require upfront payment by credit card. We understand many seniors require alternate options.

At Landmark we have many payment methods for our clients. Borrowers can even write us a check and we'll pick it up.

- Assignments -

Our competitors broadcast your borrower's information to all appraisers in the region, and merely wait for the first response.

At Landmark your appraisal file will be personally matched to the correct appraiser by an assignment coordinator. Our assignment department talks with each appraiser personally before a file is ever assigned, ensuring the appraiser has market competency and is available to properly service the file.

- Appraiser Payment -

Our competitors pay appraisers a discounted fee while they retain up to 60% of the appraisal fee for themselves.

At Landmark we believe you get what you pay for. That is why we pay our appraisers the highest fees in the industry. The proven result delivers a better product at a higher level of service.

- Borrower Contact -

Our competitors leave it up to the field appraiser to contact your borrowers within 24 - 48 hours.

At Landmark we personally contact each borrower right away ensuring consistency with each file you send us.

• We educate your borrowers on the process.
• We often save your borrowers money by reducing revisits
• We alleviate any fears your borrowers may have.
• We report back to our clients any relevant borrower communications.
• We are often able to schedule the appointment that day.

- Quality Control -

Our competitors use automated computer programs that only scan reports for common formatting errors - increasing revision requests.

At Landmark every report is 100% manually reviewed. There is no automated system that can match the expertise of our experienced quality control team. Our QC department works directly with underwriters to maintain current FHA and investor requirements. We also offer an Underwriter Support Desk and DE Forum, connecting lenders directly with our staff appraisers.
