Superior Informatics LLC

Banks generally follow a binary system. Short form drive by reports for low LTV loans/easy properties and certified appraisals for the rest. The short form reports are not acceptable to the regulator for complex properties or high LTV loans. This results in heavy reliance on appraisals. Homestat fills this gap by providing the bank with full analysis, 100-page reports at a fraction of time and cost. The regulator finds this acceptable. Adding Homestat enriches the bank and does not take away anything. Superior Informatics LLC is a technology organization and Homestat is a product of Superior. Homestat provides real estate evaluations by combining technology/big data, real estate modeling, and human real estate valuation expertise. The overlap of all three disciplines, combined with nationwide coverage and all possible product classes has resulted in a product line that has proven to be the market leader. We have relationships with over 300 lenders in numerous states - with many leading banks in Nebraska. The reports are proven to be accurate, detailed, quick and regulator approved, nationwide. All reports compete with regular appraisals. The only reason they are not called appraisals is that the physical inspection is not done by a certified appraiser. Our reports involve extensive human expertise, including physical inspections, when requested. Superior Informatics does not cut corners or charge higher prices based on product quality. PROVEN RESULTS: Superior Informatics provides evaluations for a full spectrum of property types and geography: small properties to large sprawling complexes worth tens of millions. We cover all property types from simple structures to complex structures such as senior living complexes, cattle farms, large farms with silos, bins, elevators etc., large commercial buildings, new construction, “As Completed”, bare lots. We also provide property condition reports (physical inspection) nationally.
