The groundwork for your 1004, done before you open the file.
appraise-assist is a plugin for Claude and ChatGPT. Hand it your MLS export and the order, and it prepares the market analysis, the comp grid with adjustment support, the cost approach, a public records check and narrative drafts — ready for you to review, adjust and sign.
Works inside Claude, with ChatGPT on the way.
Illustrative preview — not real figures.
One assistant for the whole file
Not a stack of separate tools: one guided path that carries the file from the order to the narratives.
-
Market analysis and the 1004MC numbers
-
Comparable sales grid with adjustments you can support
-
Cost approach, priced from a national cost service
-
Public records check against the county’s own records
-
Narrative drafts in your voice, for you to edit
How it works
-
Connect
Add appraise-assist to Claude (ChatGPT on the way).
-
Follow the guided steps
appraise-assist walks the file step by step and asks whenever a decision is yours.
-
Review and sign
Every number comes with its support; you make the calls and sign the report.
Every number shows its work
No black box. For each adjustment you see the methods that support it, where they agree and where they don’t, and a workfile page a reviewer can follow.
Your files stay yours
We never store your files. appraise-assist’s tools process what your assistant sends, return the results, and keep nothing. Your workfile, your reports and your MLS data stay with you.
Coming in the beta: a private library built from your own past reports, so the assistant learns your market and the way you write — kept with your files, not on our servers.
You stay in charge
It asks whenever a decision is yours, shows the evidence behind every suggestion, and never signs anything.
Built by an appraiser
appraise-assist is built by Ruby Appraisals, an independent Colorado residential appraisal firm, for appraisers who do their own work.
