Never be intimidated by another sketch again

Field work can be exhausting.

Between collecting forms data, subject photos, and property notes, you’ve already got your hands full (literally).

Luckily we’re past the days of paper and pencil, but there are times when the digital age doesn’t feel any easier.

The problem

Picture this:

It’s been a busy week. You receive a new order and decide to accept it.

What’s one more appraisal, after all?

You gather the information you need for the report and head out to the inspection.

You take one look at the property and immediately wonder if you can drive away before the owners see you.

There was a time when a multi-level monster with additions jutting out in every direction would have made an on-site sketch nearly impossible.

You may still be living that nightmare – returning to the property multiple times for measurements, hand-drawing rough sketches and resketching on your desktop, and simply wasting hours on a single home.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

The solution

Ditch the tape measure and clip board for a DISTO and mobile device! You may already have one… (Your phone or tablet *cough, cough*).

It’s 2017, for crying out loud.

It’s time to take advantage of everything modern technology has to offer and to use it to benefit your business.

The time you can save by eliminating the hours spent sketching can be used to do more appraisals and make more money.

That’s what workflow is all about – turning a multi-step process into something as quick as easy as possible.

Mobile sketching is a great way to do just that.
