Choice Valuation releases market analysis and automation tool TrendSheet

This is a guest post from Brandon Reich, owner of Choice Valuation, PLLC and creator of TrendSheet, a completely customizable1004MC automation tool. You can find TrendSheet in the TOTAL Store here.

TrendSheet has evolved from an effort to auto-populate my 1004MC data into the appraisal form and eliminate possible typing mistakes to something much more robust and useful. This includes adding features like fully filterable columns (perfect for retrospective appraisals since you can easily see exactly what was actively available on any prior day), a separate tab for overall neighborhood data and statistics, and many more tools and calculations.

A recently-added feature is an aggregate difference function, which gives price differences between properties with a swimming pool and without, distressed versus non-distressed, and single-level versus multi-level. These calculations provide additional data to help you determine and support your adjustments. With TrendSheet's integration into TOTAL, it all becomes a part of your digital file.

TrendSheet is a simple but powerful tool that you'll use daily to give you better insight into your market data and to save you the time and potential mistakes that come with manually entering the data. TrendSheet also has no subscription fees, is completely unlocked so you can modify it however you want, and includes lifetime updates so whenever a new version of TrendSheet is released you will receive the new version at no cost.

Check out TrendSheet on the TOTAL Store here. There's also a link to contact me if TrendSheet is not available in your area so I can modify it to work with your MLS system (this will take between two days and two weeks). You can also visit our YouTube channel here to check out instructional videos and tips on working with TrendSheet.
