MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of
2ndGen
is to supply the Atlanta Metro Area Real Estate community with physical data
of single family and multi-family properties to
help in the process of appraising real estate.
As custodians of
that data, we maintain the highest level of
integrity toward the relationship with the appraiser and all information
gathered in the process of obtaining that data.
We strive to maintain the most accurate and up-to-date information and to
continually explore new ideas and technology to ensure fast and easy access
to
that data.
Our Pledge:
We will not knowingly sell data to a
third party vendor nor allow vendor access to the database for the purpose
of obtaining data for re-sale. No
confidential data will be extracted from any submitted report.
We will only extract data required
to facilitate the appraisal process and assist
the appraiser toward compliance with USPAP and all state and federal laws.
We pledge to only use the subject's data you submit for the database,
and we will not mine or farm any other data.
DATABASE:
2ndGen
will be an efficient supplier of appraiser
data, and
you, the appraiser, are asked
to be a part of the process by supplying
2ndGen
with that data. Every attempt will be made to gather and present
detailed information that will assist in the appraisal process and provide
property information to the Real Estate community across the Atlanta Metro
area. While
you are not required to submit data and are not
penalized for not doing so, those submittals will be paramount in making the
venture between
2ndGen
and the appraisal community a success.
You will also begin to build your own cache of credits as you submit your
data.
2ndGen
will NOT allow
non-appraisers to submit data, which
ensures a quality database.
Data
included in the database will be supplied
by qualified appraisers that have completed an interior and an
exterior inspection of the property.
Our goal is to build a comprehensive database,
and we will continue this practice
with the help of appraisers across the Atlanta
Metro area and immediate outlying counties.
Ownership of Submitted Data:
While we are not legal experts and cannot make the decision as to ownership,
we at
2ndGen
do not feel we own the data simply because you have allowed us to include it
in the database,
and we do not assume ownership in any way.
We are custodians of the data and do not
enjoy any rights to it outside of that role. We
offer this partnership with each appraiser individually and to the appraisal
community as a whole, and we
feel our obligations are to you and the
appraisal community. It is our promise to you that
we will NOT sell or use the data for
any purpose other than for what it was originally intended,
which is to offer it back to the appraisal community in the form of
comparable data.
Data Submittals:
Since Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD)
guidelines require us to include quality,
condition, and basement room count in the appraisal reports, we are asking
the appraisal community to include that information in their submittals. The
basement room count and quality of the subject property is required to be in
the sales grid for UAD compliant reports; therefore, we are asking
for pages 1 & 2 for Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) reports
(including manufactured homes), pages 1, 2, & 3 for condominiums and
multi-family properties, and pages 2 & 3 for Employee Relocation Council
(ERC) appraisals.
We will accept appraisals in PDF format that include only page one; however,
please submit the additional pages with all new assignments.
If you are concerned about confidentiality with regard to the additional
pages, we suggest an alternative method of creating a PDF or XML file for
submittal, which requires no additional work. Please contact us for more
information.
You may
submit data in PDF or XML format to:
2ndGen-GA@comcast.net or
2ndGen.GA@gmail.com
(Please
remove any security locks on all PDF files, if possible)
BILLING INFORMATION:
2ndGen
offers a unique billing system.
You will be able to maintain expenditures online (Account
Maintenance), be able to monitor the account, and build credits toward the
use of the system with each report submitted.
You will only be charged for what you decide to keep and print.
One (1) credit will be deducted from the account for each address
printed. There are NO monthly
fees, NO quarterly fees, and NO annual fees.
Credits are either earned by submitting appraisal reports or they can be
purchased through your Account Management by credit card or PayPal. The
initial cost of one (1) credit will be $0.15 and will be reduced in
increments with bulk purchases.
