Feeling overworked? 10 signs it’s time to switch to TOTAL

Appraising in 2015 wasn’t easy. You handled more client requirements and curveballs like CU and FHA changes. But if you spent it relying on ACI or ClickFORMS™, your job was even harder than it should have been.

Based on what we're hearing, we've put together these 10 signs you need to switch during the slower holiday season:

1. You've been working too much.
   Shave 15 minutes off every report using multi-field canned comments to fill out entire sections. Plus, our free MLS importer and built-in Worksheets save at least another 10 minutes each. TOTAL for Mobile takes off 30 minutes per report. Those features alone add up to over an hour saved on every report. At 300 appraisals a year, you’d free up 37 days to spend with your family. See how much time you'll save with our calculator.
2. You feel penalized for being busy.
   Stop counting credits and being nickeled-and-dimed for essential services. When you switch to TOTAL, you’ll get unlimited location maps, flood and census data, XML delivery, and mobile syncing (just to name a few).
3. You’ve gotten used to your software constantly crashing.
   Assuming it crashes twice a day and costs you 10 minutes to reboot per incident, that’s over an hour and a half time lost every week. TOTAL is rock solid, which is why we’re able to back it with a 100 day money back refund guarantee.
4. You need to go mobile, but your vendor doesn’t offer the tools you need.
   Simply put: No one holds a candle to our free appraising apps for data gathering, photos, and sketching. And with live hands-on courses, eBooks, and webinars, we’ll help you put your phone or tablet to work.
5. You’re typing data from the MLS, inspections, or even properties you’ve already used.
   SmartAddress prompts when you’re about to re-use a property, our free MLS importer saves tons of time, and SmartMerge lets you pick and choose which pieces of old reports to copy.
6. You’d like to get a new computer.
   Our products are written for modern technology. For example, unlike others, TOTAL doesn’t require you to disable Windows security, so you won’t open doors to viruses. And our cloud recovery system, Vault, will help you get transferred to a new PC in minutes.
7. It’s a hassle to add PDFs and scanned docs to reports.
   With TOTAL, the next 12-page contract you have to add to a report will take only 10 seconds to import. See how it works.
8. You don’t like price hikes.
   Appraisers are switching to us because their prices have been going up with their vendor lately and they want better software. Plus, others charge for services we include for free like installing the formfiller on more than one computer, per-signature fees, and more.
9. You want a partner that has your back.
   Features change, but companies don’t. We’ve unwaveringly supported appraisers since 1985. You’ll see it everywhere — in our no-surprise pricing with a 10-year guarantee, support of 28 local organizations through our Community Partnerships Program, in-person CE-approved training for our products, our Loyalty Rewards Program, and more.
10. You want 2016 to be better than 2015.
