R/EValue provides best-in-class forensic appraisal reviews
AGOURA HILLS, CA, February 27, 2008 — Interthinx®, Inc., the leading provider of proven risk mitigation, mortgage fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance tools for the mortgage industry, announced at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s National Mortgage Servicing Conference the launch of its forensic review appraisal service to the marketplace. The Interthinx service, R/EValue, leverages state-of-the-art technology and the most experienced forensic review appraisal professionals in the industry, providing the financial industry streamlined processes and unmatched quality in forensic reviews.
“This intolerant market demands R/EValue and precise appraisal reviews,” stated Mike Zwerner, senior vice president of business development and marketing for Interthinx. “If you are prosecuting or defending a repurchase based on a possible value misrepresentation, you will need to rely heavily on the accuracy of an appraisal. If you are prosecuting or defending an insurance rescission based on a possible value misrepresentation or performing due diligence on an appraiser or loan originator, you’ll want Interthinx reviews backed by the best appraisal professionals in the market.”
Qualified reviewers are placed in all 100 of the top MSA’s (Metropolitan Service Areas) in the country and reviews are typically returned within 10 business days. Interthinx continually audits appraiser work and ranks its panel of reviewers after every assignment. Professionals who do not provide timely and consistently excellent work are removed from the Interthinx panel.
“The examples cited by my colleague are obviously high risk, high value transactions in which the accuracy of the appraisal is central to a lender’s repurchase or insurance claim worth tens (and many times hundreds) of thousands of dollars,” continued Stacey Louie, senior vice president of product development and engineering for Interthinx. “Appraisal accuracy is central to your decision as to whether to conduct business with third party appraisers and originators. Access to the most experienced forensic review appraisal professionals through Interthinx is crucial to evaluate and mitigate risk and significantly reduce the chance for future loss.”
