The real estate market meltdown is not only a "hot button" among appraisers, it is also dominating the national news. How did we get here? Was appraisal pressure and value inflation the catalyst that fueled the bubble? When does the line get crossed into Appraisal Fraud? Now that values have fallen off a cliff in many markets, do you know how to measure the decline in value? What factors are leading indicators of a declining market?

We will also discuss the political and legislative environment. There are "edge of your seat" announcements almost daily. We will bring you up to speed.

ACI Deploys Improved Website for Appraisers

ACIWEB.COM Features Online Store, Users’ Forum, Instructional Videos, Compliance Corner Blog, and more

August 7, 2008, Palm Coast, FL.  ACI, a leading innovator of technology for the valuation industry, announced today the launch of its newly designed website, www.aciweb.com. ACI’s website has been updated to enhance the ACI user experience and provide quick access to detailed and easy-to-understand product information. The site brings together relative content, allowing visitors to receive all the latest ACI news, while reflecting the accomplishments that have shaped the company into the market leader it is today.

Appraisers will find the new site dynamic and easy-to-navigate, with better visual and communication tools for interaction with ACI users and industry peers.
 
New features include:

  • ACI Online Store:  A quick and easy method for ACI clients to renew their Premier Service, Lighthouse™, and eService subscriptions online.

  • Talk Live:  An on-demand, live chat that provides a fast, online way to speak with a sales rep about ACI products or services. 

  • ACI Forum:  An interactive venue where users can exchange thoughts and ideas with thousands of other ACI professionals and in-house experts.

  • ACI in-Motion Videos:  Dozens of short product videos covering features and functionality within the ACI Collection and related products. Videos range in length from 30 seconds to two minutes and allow ACI users to quickly learn how to accomplish tasks from an ACI Certified Instructor.

  • ACI Tech Docs: ACI’s documentation library, housing nearly two-dozen product reference guides for ACI, Lighthouse™, and CRAL users. The guides are easily downloaded and provide information about ACI and related products.

  • Compliance Corner: ACI’s director of compliance, Rich Heyn, an SRA- and AQB-certified USPAP instructor with more than 30 years of professional appraisal experience, shares his unique industry knowledge and perspective in an on-going series of articles. Dedicated to appraisal-related issues, Compliance Corner topics will range from USPAP Compliance and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guidelines to the HVCC, client pressure, identity theft, and unusual property appraising, among others.

“The redesigned ACIWEB.COM provides ACI users with faster, better information and easier ways to conduct business with the company,” said George Opelka, senior vice president of ACI. “Multiple, new informational resources and communication vehicles are just the beginning of the changes we have planned. This website overhaul underscores our commitment to the thousands of ACI users across the United States and Canada, and further demonstrates our ability to raise-the-bar as a leading provider of valuation technology.”
