Why Appraisal Management Companies Use Showami for Property Data Collection

Discover how AMCs (Appraisal Management Companies) use Showami to streamline appraisal workflows, collect accurate property data, and scale inspections with licensed, local on-demand real estate agents.

Appraisal Management Companies (AMCs) know how hard it is to keep everything running on schedule and in a cost-effective manner. Fannie Mae challenged the industry to find more cost-efficient ways to conduct appraisals. This has led to a new wave of property data collectors and new means of conducting appraisals.

Showami fills in the missing piece.

With Showami, AMCs can quickly request a licensed, local real estate agent to assist with on-site data collection. This lowers the cost of conducting an appraisal while still maintaining accurate data.

Traditionally, appraisers were sent out to a property to collect information and return to the office to generate a report. Now, a real estate agent with a cellular device can gather the data through video and photos via an app. From there, the images and videos are processed and sent over to an office appraiser who can validate the data.

 AMCs face at least one of these challenges:

  • Appraisers are overloaded or unavailable for initial property visits
  • Follow-up inspections and condition checks are hard to schedule
  • Inconsistent photo quality and reporting slow down your workflow
  • You need help in areas where your team lacks local coverage

Sound familiar? These challenges can delay the entire appraisal process and raise costs.

With Showami, you can get reliable, accurate property data from licensed agents as quickly as the same day.

Here’s how AMCs use Showami:

Send a Local Agent to the Property

Send a local agent to the property to collect exterior photos, access confirmation, and interior walk-throughs. The agents can either use one of our third party apps or your app to collect the data and send it to you.

  • Nationwide coverage
  • Fast turnaround times
  • Trained, licensed agents
  • Consistent photo and reporting standards
  • No long-term contracts or hiring required
  • Easy to scale for any AMC workflow

Showami has developed a robust toolset to verify background checks and train agents according to your specific protocols. You can ensure every agent collects data in a uniform, consistent way.

You can use your own templates, forms, and tech or let our team help guide the process. 

Even better: Showami agents can integrate with your current workflow. Upload custom checklists, training materials, branded instructions, or even connect via API that we adapt to you.

Whether you manage 10 appraisals or 1,000, Showami helps you expand your reach without hiring more staff or overloading your internal team. From rural communities to fast-paced cities, our network of agents gives you instant flexibility, wherever and whenever you need it.

Most appraisal companies require it, we can create a pool of agents who have completed background checks within the past year. This option is available for AMCs who need an added level of security and assurance. Let us know your requirements, and we’ll be sure to connect you with the right agent. 

Even when Showami agents collect your property data, your team remains fully in control. Agents act as your trusted representatives, and all communication and data flow through your chosen process. You retain the relationship and oversight.

You don’t have to do it all yourself.
