Real appraisers explain how their life has changed by using DaVinci Mobile Pro
“I use the Motiontablet and DaVinci exclusively now. I just don’t see myself going back to the clipboard. I like the tablet PC because it allows me to be more flexible. A good example: I recently did a final inspection on a Friday for a home originally completed as proposed construction. It was 100 miles south of my office and belonged to the president of one of the local banks. He was in a rate lock due to expire and the property had to close by the next Monday. With the tablet PC, I was able to visit the property, reopen DaVinci and edit the sketch because several changes had been made during construction causing it to be a bit larger. I opened the report and updated sketch in WinTOT AL, which is also on my tablet, imported the photos and completed the report right there. Then I went to the local motel, connected to their Wi-Fi and delivered the report. I had other properties to inspect and if I’d waited until I got back to my office to finish the report it would have been too late for the bank to process the report and close on the property on Monday. Not only was I able to help move the closing process along, but I got a chance to be a hero to one of my good clients.”

“I’ve completely tossed my clipboard for DaVinci. I don’t have to edit sketches back at the office, I don’t have to re-type anything or redraw the sketch a second time on my PC, saving me 15 minutes per report. But frankly, and this sounds strange, DaVinci reduces my mental fatigue. With the ability to make handwritten notes, dictate voice recordings, create a sketch and fill out the report in the field, I’m less stressed when I get back to the office. I’m sold.”

“Pocket TOT AL never worked for me mainly due to screen size so I ended up back with my clipboard. But after buying a Motion 1600 and trying DaVinci, I have retired my clipboard for good. The part I love best is
that I didn’t really have to change my workflow because the customizable
screens let me mold DaVinci to the way I already work, instead of the other way around. For me, it’s not that DaVinci saves me time on inspections as much as it saves me a lot of headaches. I can’t count how many times when using a clipboard I’d had to drive back out to a house and remeasure because when I got to the computer something was off. Since I can see the square footage while still at the property, I don’t have to worry. If I messed up a measurement, I know right then. The gas savings alone should make up the cost of the tablet. The ability to use the Field Pad to take down notes and record voice notes is really helpful as well. Now if
someone would come up with a little league baseball lineup program for
the tablet, I could throw my clipboard away completely.”
