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.

I have made four calls to Data Master… I have made four calls to Data Master about a problem in the past year, and each time I explain that I never get a return call, I am told YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY HERE BACK FROM ME (whoever answers the call) TODAY But I never do, and the problem still exists. Rental data does not all transfer like it used to !!!

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.

They can't figure out how to configure… They can't figure out how to configure the database to include my MLS in NJ. They stated that GSMLS is covered but it remained to be seen. I have been calling on the daily bases for the last 3 days No Luck. I was told the salesperson is not on her desk, But it has been 5 hrs since and no one can get in touch with her. They shouldn't offer that service with alamode if they can't provide it. Alamode is a great company and they should not allow such low service company on their platform
