EXOS Technologies, a division of ServiceLink, is utilizing its cloud-based AI technology to allow homeowners the ability to perform inspections through a mobile application.
Coined as EXOS Inspect, the application can be used to support home equity lending and collect data for portfolio management processes including loss mitigation, loan modification and private mortgage insurance removal.
EXOS Inspect utilizes geofencing and time-stamping to assure the accuracy of the data, allowing homeowners to complete a verified video inspection of a room. Video can be incorporated into lender portfolio management, valuation reports, property condition reports, broker evaluation and desktop appraisals.
“Although much of the mortgage process can be done online or remotely by phone, many inspections still require in-person interaction between consumers and inspectors,” said Dave Steinmetz, originations division president for ServiceLink. “EXOS Inspect will play an immediate role in today’s market, as well as the future real estate lending industry.”
