Upload the documents you already receive — an engagement letter, purchase contract, order form, tax record, or other assignment document. Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPEG, and pasted text. Scanned PDFs with limited extractable text may be processed using page images and vision, subject to page limits.
Appraisal Orbit identifies and suggests assignment information for review — including borrower, client, property, contact information, due date, assignment type, and special instructions. You review and confirm each suggestion before anything is saved to the order. Appraisal Orbit does not extract the appraisal fee or the appraisal effective date from the order document, and suggestions are for review — they are not a substitute for professional verification. Appraisal Orbit does not make appraisal decisions.
Once confirmed, that information carries forward into the bid, the order, and the rest of the assignment, and the original source document stays attached to the workfile for reference. If the request came in as a bid, accepting it preserves the information already gathered — converting an accepted bid into an active order doesn't mean starting over.
Fields that may be suggested include:
- Client
- Borrower
- Owner
- Property address
- City, state, ZIP, county
- Parcel number
- Lender
- Property-access contacts
- Names, emails, phones
- Due date
- Property type
- Intended use / users
- Appraisal purpose
- Property rights
- Scope information
- Inspection type
- Special instructions
- Legal description
- Site or building size
- Zoning
- Loan reference
Instead of reading an order and typing the same information into several places, the source document and confirmed assignment details stay connected — reducing repetitive typing and the missed details that happen at the start of an assignment.
