The Collateral Valuation Report (CVR) is an appraisal report based on CompCruncher, computer aided appraisal software. The CVR is produced by True Value Appraiser’s that are trained in real estate regression analysis. It is not an AVM embedded in a form filler. The appraiser is center stage and has complete control over the data analysis and the valuation process.

CompCruncher/Software: takes the ‘Art of Appraising’ and adds a little bit of Science to it. Each appraisal has four major analysis components:
• The Market Trends analysis to determine the activity and trends in the market;
• The Regression analysis to determine a reasonable market valuation and the value of the property characteristics which can support your adjustments;
• The Sales Comparison approach to get an indicated value based on historical sales;
• The Listing Comparison approach to provide an indicated value based on future sales.

Each analysis is dependent on the others. For instance, the Sales/Listing ratio is used to normalize the Listing Price so that the adjustments used in Sales Comparison can be used in the Listing Comparison; Regression provides a reasonableness and support for adjustments. The elegance of this system is that all four analyses synchronize to produce a highly supportable Value Conclusion.
