Clear Capital, Truckee, Calif., has released a new valuation tool that combines a property inspection with an automated valuation model score.The product allows for supportable human adjustments to an AVM value conclusion for a more refined and confident value outcome, the company said. The property inspection component is designed to answer six questions about a property in comparison with others in the neighborhood, including: the condition of the roof; the condition of the paint/siding; the condition of the landscaping; the quality of the view; the functional utility of the lot; and the lot location. The report also includes verification if the subject resides in a ZIP code that falls within an area declared a disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, additional narrative information on the subject property, and two photos of the subject.
