Appraisal Firewall

Appraisal Firewall is a secure, online appraisal routing and communications technology tool that lets lenders keep their established relationships by helping them stay compliant with the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC).

With Appraisal Firewall, lenders can choose to continue to work with their established appraiser panels, or they can order appraisals from a third party AMC (Appraisal Management Company).

TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR APPRAISER PANELS
Appraisal Firewall lets you create panels of appraisers that you know, like and trust. With your established relationships delivering your appraisals to you online, you are assured that you get the same, high quality appraisals that you do today with the speed of the internet. In this changing valuation environment, nothing beats having the control you need to do business with your established relationships.

COMPLIANCE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Appraisal Firewall is designed for Lenders who want to stay compliant with HVCC, and also want to internalize their appraisal ordering and management duties. Appraisal Firewall tracks all ordering processes and messaging that occurs within the system and lets you print out these communications logs for hard copy storage in case of audit.

QUICK APPRAISER SIGNUP
Why spend hours and even days chasing down appraiser counties, fees, and license numbers when appraisers already have this information? Save yourself from the work by sending invitations to appraisers who can sign themselves up with your company on Appraisal Firewall. All you have to know is your appraiser's email address. Appraisers can enter their counties of coverage, their fees, upload their licenses, certifications, and E&O policies. Appraisal Firewall even checks the dates of the license expirations so you have less ongoing appraiser due diligence work.

YOU CHOOSE - AUTOMATED OR MANUAL APPRAISER ORDER ASSIGNMENT
Appraisal Firewall takes an appraisal order and places it within that lender's preferred or screened appraiser panel. The appraiser that is selected to work on an appraisal can be chosen either by Appraisal Firewall technology, or you can assign the appraiser to the order manually. Appraisal Firewall's automated order assignment utilizes vicinity to subject property, products offered by appraiser, historical appraiser quality, and other pertinent appraiser selection criteria.

CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGEMENT WITH APPRAISERS
A full status and communications management system is at the heart of Appraisal Firewall. You know the status of each order as it progresses, you know the information that is required to complete each order, and you know if your appraisers need any help or more information. You are notified via email whenever an order is placed, if a status changes, if your appraisers leave you a message, and when an order is delivered and ready for your review.

WHAT-IF SIMULATOR™
The CreditXpert What-If Simulator™ allows users to simulate the results of actions before taking them so they can understand and test the impact that actions will have on credit scores. Users select pre-defined scenarios (such as, increasing or decreasing balances, opening or closing accounts, transferring balances, etc.) or customize a scenario to experiment on specific accounts. By exploring scenarios, consumers can learn if the actions are good or bad for their credit.

ESSENTIALS™
The CreditXpert® Essentials™ provides a quick and easy way to identify each applicant's potential score improvement and the specific actions necessary, including how much cash is needed. Essentials also provides a detailed analysis that breaks down an applicant's credit and identifies the top positive and negative factors, as well as their related tradelines and also allows you to experiment with available cash amounts and what the desired score improvement is. DETECTIVE™ - CreditXpert Detective finds potential updates – even the ones that you may overlook. By scrutinizing the data within a particular credit report and comparing it against credit reports from the other bureaus, you can rest assured that no stone is left unturned. CreditXpert Detective is flexible and works the way you want: use it to find all potential updates or just as many updates as you need to raise the score a specified amount.

CREDIT ASSURE™
The first service that automatically scans credit files for opportunities to raise credit scores based on accuracy or credit management updates. Credit Assure inspects every file so you don't have to and alerts you to opportunities and how big they are, so you don't miss out. Running in the background, scanning all your files, and utilizing proven CreditXpert optimization and simulation technology, Credit Assure automatically presents findings on every file. You don't need to know anything about credit scoring or spend time scouring credit reports-Credit Assure gives you the answers.

Better yet, Credit Assure only runs on those reports that you need it on. By setting a middle cutoff score, when a credit report is pulled and the middle score is over a certain number, Credit Assure does not run and does not appear on the report, however, if the middle score is below a certain number, Credit Assure does display on the report and provides you with potential score improvement results and provides you with a link to log directly into XpertOnline to utilize the recommended CreditXpert score simulation product – Essentials or Detective to find out the recommended actions to take to help achieve the potential score improvement.
