The current market condition and various micro markets are driving a need for higher confidence in residential property valuations. We offer property valuations that bridge the gap between AVMs and Traditional Appraisals used for origination of second mortgages, HELOCs, and due-diligence on appraisals in pre or post funding. We have developed a relationship and integration with Proteck Valuation Services to offer a unique set of gap valuation products called CollateralPoint. CollateralPoint values are fueled by comprehensive collateral, market, demographic and economic data. Driven by appraiser expertise. And arrived at by an objective valuation engine.
We also offer Broker Price Opinions (BPOs) from the top appraisal management service providers in the industry. All appraisal management firms and their respective BPO products are available as choices in the FirstClose Dashboard for our customers’ convenience and flexibility.

Desktop Valuations
As an alternative to a Drive-by Appraisal (2055) and the 'AVM + Property Condition Report' solution, FirstClose also helps lenders comply with the Interagency Guidelines with Desktop Valuations with site inspection.
Our valuation platform gathers a full set of property and market data onto a staff appraiser's desktop. The appraiser employs tools to filter, adjust and weight the data and applies logic to four distinct industry accepted valuation methods. The appraiser reviewed data and value methodologies are then passed to our proprietary valuation engine. The result is an objective value with a supported value conclusion including backup data and analytics.
