The Challenge

Jennifer was maxing out at 15 reports per month working 60+ hour weeks. She needed to increase capacity but could not afford to hire an assistant or take on a partner. Quality was non-negotiable, so she was hesitant about any automation.

The Solution

After implementing Swish Appraisal, Jennifer focused on using the automated comparable search and the streamlined data entry workflow. The MLS integration eliminated manual data entry, and the intelligent comp selection saved her hours of research per report.

The Results

• 45 reports per month (up from 15)
• Average report time: 42 minutes (down from 3.5 hours)
• Work weeks reduced to 40 hours
• Revenue increased 200% in first 6 months
• $48,000 additional annual revenue

The Challenge

Michael Rodriguez runs a small firm with 3 appraisers. They were losing business to competitors who offered faster turnaround times. Their average 7-day turnaround was not competitive for rush orders, and they had to turn down premium rush assignments.

The Solution

The entire Rodriguez team adopted Swish Appraisal. They standardized their workflow around Swish's automation features, particularly the photo organization, automated calculations, and report templates. The team collaboration features allowed them to share comps and maintain consistency.

The Results

• Average turnaround: 2.5 days (down from 7 days)
• Now accepting rush orders (24-48 hour turnaround)
• Rush order premium: additional $150-300 per report
• Team completing 120+ reports/month (up from 65)
• 85% increase in monthly revenue
• $92,000 additional annual revenue

The Challenge

After 15 years using the same manual process, David was efficient but felt he had plateaued. Younger appraisers were completing reports faster, and he was concerned about staying competitive. He had tried other software but found them clunky and not designed for actual appraisal work.

The Results

• Report time: 38 minutes (down from 2.5 hours)
• 150+ reports completed in first year
• Expanded service area by 50%
• Added FHA and VA appraisals to services
• Client satisfaction scores increased 40%
• Time saved reinvested in business development
