The Collateral Valuation Report (CVR) is an appraisal report based on CompCruncher, our computer aided appraisal software. The CVR is produced by appraisers trained in real estate regression analysis. It is not an AVM embedded in a form filler. The appraiser is center stage and has complete control over the data analysis and the valuation process.
You can use the CVR for any valuation service except for re-finance and loan origination. Refinance and loan origination are governed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and you need to use their approved forms for that type of appraisal work.
We have found that lenders and appraisers use the CVR for their alternative valuations. Here are some suggestions for you to understand the great use of the CVR across the multi-billion alternative valuation market:
Lenders have told us that the CVR is a highly attractive alternative to provide more accurate and more reliable valuation with additional analytical features in the following areas:
The turn time is yours to set. The recommended guideline is to promise 48 hours, but deliver within 24. If you get the order in the morning, deliver it in the afternoon.
The time it takes to complete a CVR report will vary between appraisers and their local factors. However, after completing the CompCruncher Education and Training program, most appraisers can complete a CVR report within an hour, sometimes much less.
