Missing data Missing data. Issues with transferring the correct data. Your updates changes the formats. Data on MLS and tax record doesn't transfer over. You don't offer the cost approach like other data entry companies do. Now having issues bringing up tax record to transfer. If i had another choice I would use another company but since I am limited to why my software allows.

DataMaster is a huge time saver for me DataMaster is a huge time saver for me. It cuts down about an hour on the time required to type up an appraisal. Since it transfers the data of the subject property and each comparable sale as it appears in the MLS and/or the county tax records, it eliminates the chance for typos/errors in data transfer which can often happen when typing everything by hand. Signing up for DataMaster four years ago was one of the smartest things I did for myself and my appraisal work. It has more than paid for itself and I don't think I could go back to doing it the "old" way again.

Would be higher Would be higher, but Dallas didn't get the updates that we saw demo'd last year at the North Texas Chapter Appraisal Institute conference. It showed a lot more features that had been or were about to be rolled out in other cities.

I've called twice about problems with… I've called twice about problems with the way the MLS information transfers to my ACI and both times it was not helpful. Data master does not input in some of the UAD format on the grid, such as site size includes a comma (UAD format does not allow commas) and the "Effective Date of Data Source" does not include a zero for months 01 to 09. Along with a few other items, that I have to immediately fix. It would also be nice if you included the cost approach like Spark does. To be honest, once Spark is available to ACI users I may switch over. Its not only less per month but includes the cost approach.

Every time your company does an update… Every time your company does an update I have to call you to get the program to work again. Also, in each area all of the appraiser would generally want you to extract the same data and put it in the same place on the forms. However, you have each individual set it up. I would like to have mine set-up the way another appraiser that I have confidence in has set his up.
