SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOTE REAL ESTATE INSPECTIONS AND VALUATIONS
The present disclosure provides evaluation, inspection, and appraisal systems and methods for properties. The present system enables remote supervision and participation in a third-party inspection wherein a user can direct a remote, local party while viewing the exterior or interior of the property through the application for obtaining visual data, and otherwise observe the property as though present in order to effectively conduct the inspection and establish independence of any interest of the local user. The property evaluation can take into account the received photographic data as well as comparative property data having similar property data to that of the evaluated property.
1 . A system for valuing an evaluated property comprising:
a computer device including
a controller;
a memory coupled to the controller, wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions executable by the controller;
wherein in response to executing the program instructions, the controller is configured to:
receive property data associated with the evaluated property, wherein the property data includes interior property data, exterior property data, and location data;
calculate a property score for the evaluated property condition based on the property data;
retrieve a plurality of comparable property data, wherein the comparable property data matches at least one of the property data; and
generate a property valuation report based on the score and the property data and the plurality of comparable property data.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the interior property data and the exterior property data is a photo.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the interior property data and the exterior property data includes a determined quality of materials.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the interior property data and the exterior property data includes a history of damage, repairs, or combinations thereof.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to retrieve market influencers related to the evaluated property, wherein the market influencers can include at least one of a school district, neighborhood sale trend, and national real estate trends; wherein the property score is based on the market influencers.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the comparable property data includes the same location data as the evaluated property.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the comparable property data includes a sale price for each comparable property, wherein the property valuation report generates a monetary value for the evaluated property based on the property score and sale prices of the comparable properties.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the property data is received from a remote mobile device, wherein the remote mobile device includes visual data capabilities via a camera application.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to manipulate, via the controller, the camera application within in the mobile device to capture photographic data associated with the inspection site; and receive the captured photographic data from the mobile device.
10 . A system for evaluating an evaluated property comprising:
a computer device including
a controller;
a memory coupled to the controller, wherein the memory is configured to store program instructions executable by the controller;
wherein in response to executing the program instructions, the controller is configured to:
receive audio and visual communication from a remote mobile device, wherein the remote mobile device includes visual data capabilities via a camera application;
manipulate, via the controller, the camera application within in the mobile device to capture photographic data associated with the evaluated property; and
receive the captured photographic data from the mobile device.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the computer device is physically distinct from the mobile device.
12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the photographic data includes a photo, a video, or combinations thereof of the inspection site.
13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the photographic data includes at least one of a time stamp, and a geotag via a GPS system within the mobile device.
14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the manipulation of the camera application within in the mobile device includes selecting a photo mode, a video mode, or combinations thereof.
15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the manipulation of the camera application within in the mobile device includes controlling the camera operations from the computer device.
16 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the manipulation of the camera application within in the mobile device includes editing the photographical data.
17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the manipulation of the camera application within in the mobile device includes editing the photographical data before the controller receives the photographic data.
18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to generate an inspection report associated with the inspected site.
19 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to generate a property valuation report associated with the inspected site, wherein the evaluation report includes an estimated property value based on the photographic data.
20 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the controller is configured to retrieve a plurality of comparable property data, wherein the comparable property data matches at least one of the property data, wherein the generated property valuation report is based on the photographic data and the plurality of comparable property data.
