CHARLOTTE METRO REAL ESTATE TRENDS AND STATS

I am pleased to announce that I have recently partnered with Encompass ® - the mortgage management solution deployed by over half of the nation's top 250 brokerages - and that as a result of this partnership, placing an appraisal order with Allstate Appraisal Associates will be faster, easier and more secure than ever before. If you use Encompass, ordering appraisals will now take just seconds and won't cost you anything. The order data will come directly from your loan file so you will save the hassle of re-typing and faxing. When the report is finished, I will send it back into your loan file so your electronic file stays complete. You can even attach documents with your order. Here's how it works:

1. When you are ready to order an appraisal, click Order Appraisal in the Services tab of your Borrower Summary.

2. You'll be taken to the Encompass Appraiser Directory. You will find me listed there in the All Appraisers section. You can easily add me to your personal list of contacts by selecting my name and clicking Add to My List.

3. Once you have chosen Allstate Appraisal Associates in the list, click Order.

4. You'll be taken to the Order Appraisal screen, which will be pre-populated with details from your loan file - no need to re-type! Add any additional details you wish and click Send Order.

5. Within seconds, I can view your order. Once I accept your order, you will receive notification via email.

6. Once the order is complete, I can send the report directly to your loan file.

That's it - no faxes, no voice mails and no re-typing! Plus, when your borrower requests a copy of the report, you will know exactly where it is - inside your Encompass loan file.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Allstate Appraisal Associates
