Often, lenders are not able to access appraisers and appraisal data from their own origination systems, but the new Appraisal Firewall integration allows them to do so.

""Appraisal Firewall not only delivers real estate appraisal data back into the LOS ├â┬ó├óÔÇÜ┬¼├óÔé¼┼ô it also provides direct access to a lender's appraiser panel,"" said Dave Black, president and CEO of SharperLending.

Having partnered with technology companies for more than 20 years, the team at SharperLending is keenly aware of the challenges and costs technical integrations often present. Black said the new feature eliminates many of these challenges by presenting a platform where lenders can access appraisals without leaving their own system.

""We have made it easy and fast to work with LOS companies toward mutual integrations ├â┬ó├óÔÇÜ┬¼├óÔé¼┼ô with a guarantee that the LOS will get the return it is seeking,"" Black added.

Appraisal Firewall is also designed to ensure compliance with industry regulations.

Founded in 1989, Washington-based SharperLending has counted more than 100 million mortgage transactions completed through its technological platform.
