Why Spark?
Data Accuracy
Spark imports the data for you. That means no more typos.
Spark is tailored to each market. We interview appraisers in the area to help us determine the best methods for that market.
Plus, we don't just map fields. We analyze all of the data that your MLS offers to give you the best results.
It's Fast...Really Fast
Most appraisers report that they can get in and out of Spark in less than 5 minutes per report.
Spark saves you up to 60 minutes per report by filling out your grid, entire prior transfer history, 1004MC, charts, and more.
Easy To Use
Spark was built with appraisers in mind. Using our sleek, modern interface feels natural and intuitive.
Spark is entirely web-based. Wherever you go, there we are.
We've built a library of comprehensive tutorials and training options (see the "training" tab).
