Appraisal Firewall Becomes First Appraisal Integration of its Kind for Lenders in Integra’s LOS
Spokane, Wash. Feb. 3rd 2021 – Mortgage technology provider SharperLending Solutions announced today that it has partnered with Integra Software Systems to integrate the Appraisal Firewall® web-based real estate appraisal software to Integra’s Loan Origination System. The direct-data integration speeds loan origination and processing by providing mortgage bankers, community banks and credit unions working in Integra with seamless access to Appraisal Firewall, where they can manage their own appraisal process to order and receive completed residential and commercial appraisals, work with their trusted local appraisers, run QC, access the Verisite mobile appraisal and property inspection solutions, AVMs, AMCs, and more.
Appraisal Firewall is the first appraisal vendor of its kind to complete a full system to system integration and be available to lenders within Integra. The partnership enables Integra’s lender clients to get completed real estate appraisals faster, reduce appraisal costs and turn-times, and access a variety of valuation solutions for diverse lending products. All of this is done within the Integra LOS “EPIC” to avoid process interruption and reduce training time.
“This integration delivers Integra’s lenders critical appraisal process efficiency by significantly reducing turn-times and costs while lessening the impact of lockdown restrictions on lenders and appraisers,” said David Chiappe, President of SharperLending Solutions, the company behind the Appraisal Firewall technology. “We are excited to partner with Integra to provide additional velocity to their lenders’ origination process with a full suite of automated enterprise-level appraisal technology solutions.”

We look forward to the partnership and continuing to offer lenders any loan, anywhere functionality.”
