Doesn't just find problems — helps fix them

Know What's Wrong. Know How to Fix It.

QC Reviewer does more than flag potential deficiencies. Material findings include an explanation of why the issue matters, the recommended corrective action, and—when appropriate—ready-to-paste appraisal commentary that can be incorporated into the report.

CriticalUSPAP SR 1-6

Final value conclusion lacks adequate reconciliation of the approaches to value.

Detected text

"The sales comparison approach was given primary weight; however, no explanation is provided for the weight assigned or the reliability of each approach."

Why it matters

USPAP Standards Rule 1-6 requires the appraiser to reconcile the quality and quantity of data and the applicability of the approaches used. An unsupported reconciliation undermines the credibility of the value conclusion.

Recommended action

Add a reconciliation narrative that explains the relative weight given to each approach, the reliability of the data, and why the final value conclusion is supported.

Copy-and-paste commentary

The sales comparison approach was given primary consideration in the final reconciliation due to the availability of recent, proximate, and comparable market data. The cost approach was considered but given secondary weight given the age of the improvements and the inherent limitations of depreciation estimation for older properties. The income approach was not applicable to this assignment type. The final opinion of value reflects the reconciled conclusion of the approaches considered.

QC Score

One Grade. Prioritized by What Actually Matters.

Ten minor formatting issues should not outweigh one unsupported value conclusion. QC Reviewer prioritizes findings according to their potential effect on credibility, compliance, valuation support, client reliance, and delivery risk.
