6 | TH E M R EP O RT MTECH "This represents a new stan- dard for the appraisal industry that really addresses collateral risk," said Benjamin Smith, VP of Valuations at Veros. "These latest enhancements have added more intelligence and greater ef- fectiveness to an already invalu- able analytical tool and will help lenders and appraisal management companies comply with the GSEs' 'zero defects' inspection mandate." Other features have been added to further identify risk, including street views of subject proper- ties, dynamic mapping, compa- rable sales, and AVM values for neighboring properties. All can be viewed online with zoom-in capa- bility, mapping, and pinpointing. "As an automated appraisal scoring tool VeroSCORE fa- cilitates more informed decisions based on a solid determination of collateral value," said Luke Ziegenmeyer, Director of Product Management at Veros. "The enhanced report is now easier to use, providing more data than before at a fraction of the cost of most competing offerings." Veros originally built VeroSCORE from the ground up using proprietary risk assessment algorithms and a multifaceted rules engine that would provide appraisal-scoring technology that helped mortgage lenders, ser- vicers, investors, and appraisal- management companies (AMCs) make faster, better-informed deci- sions regarding collateral value. The company has said that when the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) began requiring a quality-assurance strategy for prefunding apprais- als, lenders and vendors needed to thoroughly inspect appraisal reports for zero-defects, and VeroSCORE was in place to pro- vide the perfect solution.
