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.

Datamaster was the perfect product for… Datamaster was the perfect product for me. WAS. They rolled out a new platform and the new platform is awful. It is an awkward interface. It makes numerous errors like entering "BusyRd" for a comparable that is in the middle of a platted subdivision. That is just an example. There are many more. The old platform was simple and accurate. The new platform is a failure. Awkward interface, inflexible and makes many mistakes. I am going to try Spark or Anow software. If you are using the original DataMaster platform I envy you. But beware, the new platform will be coming for you soon. Signed, computer savvy guy

poor response times poor response times, data not being pulled consistantly, errors out too often, last "update" now it does not pick up concessions. This program is now too expensive for this type of experience.

Using DataMaster speeds up data… Using DataMaster speeds up data integration to the appraisal report and completes the 1004MC quickly which allows me to do more work. I'm spoiled after using DataMaster for the last couple of years and will continue to utilize it for every report I write. I do and have recommended DataMaster to peers and they all enjoy it as well. Very good software.

Data Master is great, but... Data Master is great, but...! The key is, it saves you time and helps to create accuracy. The only issue I've had is the 1004MC. The good news is that at some point it won't be required by lenders, but I do NOT want to see it disappear in Data Master as it's valuable for determining some adjustments like time and differences in neighborhood values (Location adjustments). Depending on the settings, it can give conflicting results in the "listing" results when compared with other 1004MC programs like ARMLS.
