Can Valcre handle everything from simple to complex appraisals, including
eminent domain, large hotels, and portfolios?
Yes, Valcre supports a wide range of property types and value scenarios. Valcre is also well-suited for particularly scrutinized assignments, such as Eminent Domain, property tax appeal, and litigation projects.
Our competitors may say they “support all property types,” but they only have tailored templates for a small subset of types. Only Valcre has tailored templates for the largest number of different property types and portfolios. This includes support for detailed hospitality valuations, portfolio roll-ups for up to 300 properties, and custom regional eminent domain templates.
Detailed appraisal reports require more support and evidence for assumptions and conclusions. Utilizing a platform like Valcre that is specifically designed for an array of property types and valuation scenarios helps you meet client demands quickly and efficiently.
Where does Valcre get data from? Can I add my own data source?
Valcre is a “bring your own data” platform enhanced with multiple data sources. Our onboarding specialists can migrate your current property and job data into Valcre so you can hit the ground running. Whether your current data lives in a database, another software platform, spreadsheets, or PDFs, we can help get you started in Valcre.
When you need to add more data during your appraisal workflow, Valcre makes it easy with integrations with over 15 leading nationwide data providers. Our integration with Cherre allows you to enhance your properties and comps with public data from over 150 million properties in the US – at no additional cost.
Valcre has streamlined integrations for data including:
- Subject and comparable property data
- Market analytics
- Demographics
- Employment & unemployment
If you get your data from another provider like a regional MLS, there’s a good chance that Valcre already supports it. If not, our solutions team can help build out new integrations that your office can use forever.
For enterprises that have their own CRM or database, they can be connected to Valcre using its open API. Take command of your data and provide your team with a single source of truth for all assignments.
