Full-Cycle SaaS Platform for Real Estate Appraisal and Lending for DVS

The company’s software connects appraisers to lenders in a non-biased setting, removing the traditional requirement of an appraiser management company. DVS’s goal is to simplify the appraisal process and give both appraisers and lenders greater control over their own work environment.

To bring that vision to market, DVS needed an external development partner with:

• Deep expertise in SaaS and web development, using current application languages and frameworks.
• A solid understanding of the American mortgage industry.
• The ability to consolidate several separate financial reporting and analysis modules into one cohesive, easy-to-use, automated platform.

DVS chose SaM Solutions as its development partner based on its experience in financial software development, particularly within the mortgage vertical, and its ability to cover the full software lifecycle — from design and development through go-live and ongoing support.

SaM Solutions’ team of SaaS experts designed, developed, and implemented a fully custom, web-based SaaS platform that lets credit unions, banks, lenders, and appraisers work together on a non-biased, automated, and fully compliant platform, eliminating the need for costly third-party involvement. The platform gives end users complete control over their own fees, settings, profiles, and transactions.

The platform offers:

• The ability to create, oversee, and send a diverse range of lender assignments.
• The ability to develop, manage, and access payment histories.
• Up-to-date industry-related news and information.
• Integration readiness for third-party systems.

The system is fully compliant with AIR/Dodd-Frank requirements and supports the identification and solicitation of appraisers based on common industry standards, such as location, licensing details, and performance data. All relevant information is organized into a single, user-friendly interface, allowing the lender-appraiser relationship to develop within one seamless environment.

DVS’s platform also provides property transaction histories, appraisal notices, listing and selling of comparables (with optional AVM values), and custom property alerts.

The technical work and expertise provided by SaM Solutions allowed DVS to successfully launch its custom real estate SaaS platform, changing the way lenders and appraisers conduct business in a digital world. The solution met all of DVS’s project objectives and let the company bring an industry-changing SaaS product to market.

• The platform is used by thousands of business customers every month.
• DVS now operates a single, cohesive platform in place of multiple separate reporting and analysis tools.
• SaM Solutions’ teams continue to provide ongoing support and enhancement for the solution.
