What is an appraisal app?

An appraisal application is a web or mobile application that enables users to evaluate the value of significant items. Appraisal apps usually include interfaces for taking photos of items (such as house, furniture, or cars), specifying their characteristics (for example, year, model number), and submitting those items for valuation by an expert appraiser.

Most appraisal apps are similar to real estate apps, property management apps, or decision support apps. The most popular appraisal apps today are Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin.

Here are some recent appraisal app examples built with Crowdbotics:

What is the typical cost to build an appraisal app?

An appraisal app usually costs $9,000 to build. However, the total cost can be as low as $8,000 or as high as $10,000. An appraisal app with a low number of features (also known as a "minimum viable product", or MVP) will be more affordable than an app that includes all intended functionality.

How to successfully grow your appraisal application

A home appraisal app should have a simple, intuitive user interface that allows users to easily take photos of their property and get an instant appraisal. It's important for these apps to target specific types of properties in order to effectively compete with other home appraisal apps on the market. For example, a home appraisal app for commercial real estate agents could provide additional functionality that helps agents manage their clients' properties more effectively.

Risks and challenges of building a appraisal application

An appraisal app faces legal and reputational challenges related to the collection of private information, user misrepresentation, and data security. It is recommended that you use a third-party authentication service for identity verification and use strong encryption techniques to protect sensitive data. Before creating an app that deals with real estate transactions, you need to ensure that you are compliant with local laws relating to real estate transfer and property valuation. A professional appraiser should be consulted when designing an appraisal app.
