A simple path to a stronger pricing conversation

Three clear steps.Your call.

One address. One clear path. The research supports your decisions without replacing your judgment.

01

Start with one address

Open the property once. The workspace organizes the research paths in one place.

02

Choose your comps

Confirm the property context, then select the comparable sales that matter to your pricing conversation.

03

Create your AIVMs™

Create transparent models for the private pricing conversation you lead.

Loan officers,we haven’t forgotten you.

Loan officers use CompCheck.ai and Smart Research with public record data to validate a borrower's value expectation, troubleshoot a low appraisal, and price refinances with evidence. No MLS membership required.

01

Price a refinance before it costs you

Check a property against public-record sales before ordering the appraisal, so a borrower's expectation is tested early instead of after the fee is spent.

02

Troubleshoot the appraisal

Run our reports to see if any problem sales surface, so you can alert your agents to them before the appraisal.

Smart Research · problem sales

03

Partner with an agent, unlock everything

Pair with a real estate agent and you both get access to all four research products, including the MLS-based tools that need local board membership.

Treat The Appraisal Like Another Transaction with UAD 3.6

With UAD 3.6, there are no excuses. The new report has a section where the appraiser explains the recent home sales they reviewed but chose not to use. Don’t miss your chance to get the right sales data in front of them!

Why Researchstore

For the people who price properties.

For 20 years, consumer expectations have been centered around online values. Zillow sets the wrong expectations. Deals fall apart. Sellers lose money. Loan officers waste time.

We built the tools that fix this, appraisal-grade comp research, appraiser derived valuation models. Free, unlimited, and over combined 50 years of valuation expertise.

For agents — best practice

Build yourAppraisal Package.

A proactive Appraisal Package submitted at or before inspection is your best tool for a smooth appraisal, and your strongest defense if the value comes in low. Here's what to include.

01

Rerun your CMA at contract

Identify any pendings, listings or off-market transactions that may have closed the day or two or weeks before. Those will carry a lot of weight as they are reflective of current market conditions.

02

Submit 2–3 strong settled sales

Present only your strongest 2–3 closed comparable sales that directly support the contract price. Settled sales with verifiable data are the gold standard — active listings and pending sales are supplemental context at best.

03

Avoid active listings as primary support

Active listings are asking prices, not market evidence. Reference them as supplemental context only — never as the anchor for your value argument. Appraisers won't treat them as proof, and neither should you.

04

Address distressed sales head-on

If foreclosures or short sales exist nearby, include them with written explanations of why they don't represent arm's-length market value. Ignoring them lets the appraiser draw their own conclusions. Get ahead of it.

05

Document every upgrade with dates and costs

List every renovation with approximate dates and costs. Kitchen remodels, roof replacements, HVAC, ADUs, electrical, plumbing — appraisers can't adjust for what they can't verify. Receipts, permits, and dated photos strengthen every claim.

06

Never average price per square foot

Appraisers don't — and you shouldn't either. Stick with similar-size comps, similar neighborhoods, and similar condition. Averaging dollars per square foot across dissimilar properties distorts value and undermines your credibility.

07

Summarize multiple offers

A short summary of multiple offers helps the appraiser understand current demand and supply conditions.

08

Meeting the appraiser

“I know you know what you're doing, but here is what I used to price the property.” Remember these words and you can deal with the least amenable appraiser.

With UAD 3.6 expect longer inspection times and way more questions. We suggest handing or leaving them a Pricing Strategy Package, then leaving them alone — but not with the seller.

About the platform

"Treat the appraisal like another transaction that needs to close" - Brent Jones Founder

REsearchStore.com was built by Brent Jones — a former Fannie Mae Senior Analyst who spent his career on the appraisal side of the industry. After watching too many deals fall apart because agents and loan officers were pricing with the wrong data, he built the tool that closes the gap.

Every tool in the suite uses appraiser methodology, not algorithmic guesswork. The same data the appraiser will use — in your hands before the appointment starts.

“Never be unprepared for an appraisal.” — Brent Jones, Founder

Frequently Asked Questions

How is REsearchStore.com really free?
We’re building a user base so home service providers will eventually want to advertise on the platform. We don’t sell user data. 1,600+ users and 8,000+ reports run to date — and the Standard Plan stays free, during and after beta.
RPR and most MLS CMA tools use AVM logic and broad statistical models. Our tools use appraisal-grade comp filtering — the same parameters appraisers use to value properties (distance, GLA, age, date of sale) — plus PropMix’s AI similarity scoring. The difference shows up at the appraisal.
It depends which tool. Smart Research and Valuetest.ai use the PropMix MLS network and verify local MLS membership during signup. Compcheck.ai uses public record data and works without MLS access. Meridian CVM and the AI Appraisal Assistant are available to everyone.
