How Opposing Appraisers Book Inspections
The self-service booking flow from the opposing appraiser's perspective.
The traditional way to schedule with an opposing appraiser is a four-email chain that takes three days. They suggest a time, you check your calendar, you counter, they check theirs, you both lose track of who owes the next reply, and somebody ends up calling. By the time the inspection is on the books, you've spent more time on the coordination than on the actual case.
Self-service booking replaces that chain with one email and one link. The opposing appraiser sees only the slots you would have offered anyway, picks one, and the request lands in your queue for approval. You stay in the loop, but the back-and-forth stops happening. This is most valuable when you're working with appraisers you don't already have a rhythm with, but it also quietly saves time on repeat opponents who would otherwise default to "text me when you're free."
When you send a scheduling invitation, the opposing appraiser receives a unique link to book an inspection time. Here's what they experience.
