Mortgage technology firm FNC Inc. has released a new version of AppraisalPort. Appraisers, appraisal firms and appraisal management companies use AppraisalPort to receive orders from lenders, manage the orders and then submit completed appraisal reports back to their lender clients.
“The new AppraisalPort platform is completely modernized. It’s one of the more advanced sites you’ll see, definitely in our industry and I believe in the technology world in general,” FNC Project Management Director Jon Fisher said in a news release.
These processes remain in the new version, but after almost a full year in development, AppraisalPort has updated color schemes, new intuitive icons and everything is larger and easier to read on simplified screens.
“It was built with a focus on the user experience,” Fisher said. “It has a responsive design that operates more fluidly, is more intuitive and offers more visual indicators to ease navigation throughout the site.”
The new AppraisalPort was developed based on years of feedback FNC received from users of the platform—both on the appraiser side and the lender side, the company said. Additionally, a team of FNC usability experts spent weeks visiting with clients, studying how the product is used.
