Total Property Service is second to none when it comes to technology

Call us what you will, but by all means, call us at 9186986383 for appraisal orders in Tulsa County! Why? I'm glad you asked.
The appraisal process has changed a lot in recent years and these days, is a lot more demanding. Cutting corners on analysis isn't an option for an ethical appraiser. Therefore, we've simply optimized our routine processes to do more in less time. Our continuous efforts to be the best have convinced us that keeping up with new technology allows us to provide more credible reports in less time and of course, the very best in customer service.
Innovating the Ordering Experience
Years ago, a lot of our orders came in via fax and were confirmed with phone calls once we got back into the office. Often, in this scenario, it might of taken far too long to hear back to see if the order could be taken. These days, when orders are entered on this website, I receive a e-mail on my phone. I can even log into this site from the field and send back an e-mail confirmation – including the time and date for the inspection if I've been able to talk to the occupant.
At Total Property Service we understand it's all about "cycle time". We aim to reduce waiting between communications since the speed at which we get things done directly effects your bottom-line. Through features on this website, we can actually speed up the entire appraisal process.
Data Gathering Tools
The appraisal process is nothing if not a detail-oriented process. We spend a lot of our time collecting the facts on the subject property and the local market data and trends Once again, technology has stepped in to help Total Property Service.
Instead of using paper forms and pencils and then re-keying all the information back at the office, don't be surprised to see me with a tablet PC or collecting data using an app developed for my phone that even lets me sketch a floorplan right on site. Rather then using that clumsy old tape measure, a larger percentage appraisers are utilizing accurate laser measuring devices that also help measure hard to access areas.
Using this technology allows us to ensure that your report is accurate. requiring fewer call-backs and revisions. A real money saver for busy appraisal clients.
Report delivery
At a very minimum, you can expect me to deliver your final report electronically as a PDF. Most of our clients prefer e-mail because we're all accustomed to getting attachments like PDFs in our mail. It's a lot better than the old days when everything was on paper. But, we've even been able to improve on e-mail with how you receive your report with this website.
Ever lost a file that was sent to you? Or have you ever had an attachment blocked because it was too big? We've come up with a solution for those problems, too. When I deliver an appraisal through this website, the client gets a link sent off to them to their email to retrieve the PDF. By bypassing email completely we can get around any problems caused by file size. And the download link is good for 90 days. So if anything happens to the file, you can log back into my site and retrieve it again - saving you time, since I won't even need to run back to my computer.
Total Property Service simplifies things by using Digital Workfiles
It would probably be easier if appraisers could complete an assignment, deliver it and never worry about revisiting that document again. However, appraisals are used to demonstrate the condition of a property on the inspection date Therefore, appraisers are required by law to keep their reports for 5 years, allowing them to recall any appraisal at any time to either defend the valuation or to be used in other legal proceedings.
To sum it all up, Total Property Service leverages our investment in technology to improve service. We store every part of the appraisal - notes, sketches, supporting documentation and calculations - along with the appraisal electronically, we can pull up the entire file whenever it's needed and recall just what that job was about.
These are just a few examples of how we use technology daily. Utilizing the right tools, along with the appraisal know-how that you've grown to expect allows the appraiser to save time without cutting corners and deliver a better product to you, our client.
