"Remote virtual appraisal technology, where an appraiser can see a property rather than the person, provides a basis for a quality valuation while eliminating some of the misunderstandings or personality conflicts that may come from physically being there. In addition, minority communities that are underserved, or rural communities that experience the same appraiser availability issues, can benefit from faster and less expensive appraisal processes enabled by these remote virtual technologies." --Mark Walser, President of Incenter Appraisal Management, Horsham, Pa.
