Now, with Eppraisal Professional real estate brokers, agents, appraisers, and mortgage brokers, can leverage the same property estimation engine on their own website to assist with lead generation and provide consumers with a dynamic value-added resource. Demonstrations of Eppraisal Professional can be seen at booth #2058 during the NARdi Gras, Realtor Conference and Expo in New Orleans November 10 – 13th. Real estate professionals who sign up for the service will be able to take immediate advantage of a 90-day free trial of Eppraisal Professional.

“The shortfall of other online real estate sites is that they try to eliminate the professionals from the process,” said Damian Scott, President of Saris Technologies. “At Saris we built eppraisal.com because we saw the missing link in the online experience. We understand that current online valuation models are just an initial step, and the second step is to find the right local professional (inspectors, appraisers, agents, etc) and incorporate them into the process. With Eppraisal Professional we can build relationships between professionals and consumers in a way that provides value for both parties.”

Eppraisal Professional is a subscription service that provides real estate professionals with access to consumers, in the local area, that are interested in extending their search for the right property. In addition, real estate professionals can also sign up to provide automated valuations on their own websites in order to give their customers an extra resource directly from their homepage. The service enables any real estate professional to:

Gain Access to eppraisal.com Consumers – eppraisal.com connects consumers with experts. Leverage Eppraisal Professional to connect with consumers that are valuing properties within the local area.

Increase Website Content and Resources – by embedding eppraisal.com’s property estimation engine into a real estate website, professionals are able to deliver a value-added resource for consumers as they begin to make the critical decision of buying, selling, or refinancing a property.

Capture Leads – real estate professionals will be given the code to create a page on their website where visitors can receive map-based property valuations, demographic information and a detailed eppraisal of their home without ever leaving the website. When consumers register there, the real estate professional will be able to contact them to follow up on any real estate needs they might have.

For a demonstration and 90-day free trial of Eppraisal Professional visit booth #2058 at NAR, November 10 – 13. To become an Eppraisal Professional member or gain more information visit http://pro.eppraisal.com.
