PROPERTY APPRAISAL DISCREPANCY DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT

摘要

An appraisal error detection method includes accessing a database of appraisal-data-field entries of property appraisals. Because sales transactions are cited repetitively as comparables on multiple appraisals, it is possible to inspect appraisal-data-field entries for consistency. An error detection operation is performed for each of the corresponding appraisal-data-field entries by detecting any discrepancies, both between appraisers, and between different appraisals by the same appraisers, where corresponding appraisal-data-field entries are for a same property characteristic of a same property. Appraisal-data-field entries determined by the error detection operation to be erroneous are flagged, and a discrepancy score may be assigned to flagged erroneous entries that indicates an amount of risk posed by the entry. Appraisals in the database may be assigned a score based upon the sum of their entries' discrepancy scores.
