Record a Property Appraisal

Record a Property Appraisal

This help file will guide you on how to keep a record of the properties that you appraise. Please note, any fields with a red asterisk  are mandatory fields and must be completed before you will be able to save the form. Once you complete a mandatory field you will see this icon . The checklist  on the right hand side of the each page shows the mandatory fields that need to be completed at any one stage before you can save the listing. Each time you complete a mandatory field it will remove itself from the checklist.

Add a Listing

From your Dashboard, there are two ways to add a listing into the database:
1. In the upper right side of the screen, click the + button, and select Add Listing in the dropdown list. 


2. In the header menu, hover over the Listings header and select Add Listing in the dropdown menu.
  • Select the Listing Type. You can add a listing appraisal with any property type. 
  • Start typing the address of the new listing and you will see a selection of addresses that are likely matches for your property. Click on the correct address in the drop down selector. If the address does not appear in the list, you can manually add the address by clicking on the Address not found button at the bottom.
  • Once your Listing address has been added Aro will check if there are any matching Listings currently in your database. If there is a match you will be prompted to  use the exisiting listing or add a new Property and Listing. 
  • Select Continue.

Our system uses the "Right Address" search feature. This feature eliminates mistakes and helps improve the accuracy of data being entered correctly every time. On occasion an address will not be in the Right Address database and an address will need to be manually entered - this can sometimes occur for newer estates and subdivided lots.

  • You will now be on the Add Appraisal page. 

  • On the right hand side of the page you will see the Appraisal Checklist which will contain any mandatory fields you need to complete. 

      

There are 2 ways you can complete your listing: Using the Checklist or going through each page adding all information.
  • You can use the checklist to quickly add a listing with the minimum amount of information the software needs. If you click on the blue fields in the list, the software will take you to that field to complete:
