The most important assets in the valuation of property are accurate data characteristics managed independently of valuation methods. That is why we developed a customizable configuration for versioned data within GRM Valuation. Its well-organized structure allows you and your staff to see what the property looked like at any point in time. To ensure accuracy, the data infrastructure supports the processing of property characteristic changes as well as changes to prior year's data, current data and future assessment year's data.
The integration of GRM GeoAnalyst with ESRI's ArcGIS® Server will allow you to be not only data aware but spatially aware as well. This will provide your staff the tools to assess the scale and magnitude of problems, so they can make informed decisions.
GRM Smart Sketch's integration with GRM Real Property provides the perfect pairing of valuation and sketch technology. With the proven capabilities of APEX technology as its foundation, our sketch tool is exclusive and customized to include GRM Real Property specific functionality in a browser environment. This level of integration is unparalleled in the Appraisal industry.
Pictometry Online allows your staff to easily and quickly access oblique and orthogonal images to measure area, perimeter and height of any structure or property without ever having to leave the office. By providing, in some cases, an alternative to field visits to properties, these exact desktop-valuations offer significant cost savings. They can help you uncover substantial volume of new taxable properties and improvements which in the past might have been virtually impossible to see because of inaccessibility or obstructions.
Provide your staff with the essential means to manage critical business processes and view task lists within the GRM application. At the same time, your managers can easily track allocation of tasks and measure productivity. This more efficient use of staff drives direct cost savings and allows managers to ensure organizational success by easily monitoring processes and staff effectiveness.
Provide decision support for the building of valuation models as well as the statistical validation of prior years' valuations. Regression analysis, neighborhood analysis, depreciation analysis and spatial analysis tools are included to ensure uniform and equitable values are applied across your entire jurisdiction. They are also a key component of a comprehensive valuation standards program and a mechanism for verification of the accuracy and equality of proposed valuations prior to placing the values on your assessment roll.
Your staff can easily capture and update property characteristics from field locations using the same configurable business rules as those run in the office. GRM's field data collection tools also provide all electronic copies of relevant documents, photos, sketches and maps available at desktop level.
In a seamless, user-friendly Microsoft application environment, your staff will be able to create letters and forms using GRM correspondence tools. If more complex reporting requirements are needed, they are provided through the use of Microsoft SRS.
