Appraisal Report Drafting for Residential Property Managers with AppFolio
Run appraisal report drafting on autopilot inside AppFolio.
The Problem
Single-Family / Small Multifamily reports in AppFolio require subject property data entry, comp selection, photo placement, and narrative writing — and each report takes 4–8 hours of Residential Property Manager time.
What We Build in AppFolio
AI ingests property data, MLS comps, and inspection notes into AppFolio, drafts the report narrative, places photos, and produces a reviewer-ready output — appraisal capacity doubles per appraiser. Purpose-built for teams running AppFolio — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
