ClearInsight

The ClearInsight app is such a great app for data collection. Really user friendly and easy to use.

I have recently started using this app. It has so many questions you have to answer. It’s ridiculous.

The app eliminates many features of the prior and significantly increases the time it takes to conduct inspections in the field. The inspector is now forced to conduct lengthy redundant data entry in the field. Inspection time more than doubles. The inspector often becomes the subject of ridicule by the homeowner and is placed in a position where they are perceived as being incompetent. The app eliminates the capability for the inspector to add photos from the gallery on their device. The sketch tool places further burden on the inspector in cases where the home is cluttered, access to certain rooms is denied or not possible. There are essentially no options for work arounds such as sketching the home by hand. The Bifurcated Appraisal Process is a nightmare in certain markets, especially when the “valuator” is incompetent and lacks understanding with regards to nuances of the local market and lacks access to the various aggregators necessary to complete an accurate appraisal. I have received numerous calls from homeowners contesting comps chosen by the valuator that reflect poorly upon me and harm my reputation as a seasoned professional with 20 years in the business. ClearInsight and this process foisted upon the industry is criminal, stealing time and money from seasoned professionals who are now forced to work with incompetent hourly employees that work from home thousands of miles from your market area.
