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

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.

Data master has been a life saver Data master has been a life saver. Cut a full 2 hours off of my report completion process. I say to all Appraisers out there, you have to get data master. If you already use some other data entry service, just try data master, their prices are unbeatable from my experience and will really help you. Their customer service is also stellar!

I’d give the software 4 stars but... I’d give the software 4 stars, but the value and customer service is more like 2 stars. The software works well enough, it still has some bugs however it let me do about 90% of what I want. It’s quite expensive though, over $1,000 per year and they are not even providing the data, just an import function really. The customer service was great when they were trying to sign me up but then fell off sharply. My MLS made some changes and they were quite slow to update the software even after numerous complaints. The worst part is that when I needed to cancel my service, they still charged my credit card after numerous emails, and then forced me to dispute the charges with my bank instead of issuing a timely refund. Bottom line, the software does save you lots of time, but I would look into some competitors first for better value and service.

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 !!!
