George Hatch has developed a build of the 1004MC form in Excel that he's making available for download to anyone who wants to use it. Download 1004MC He figured, in these tough economic times, there might be a few appraisers that could use a tool like this in lieu of spending money to update or change their appraisal software.
George says, "This is a pretty basic version, but I have built the math functions into the grids. Several people have already downloaded it and worked with it a little and so far everything looks to be functional"
There are a couple appraisers who have already figured out how to export data dumps from their MLS systems and how to use the spreadsheet functions in Excel to automatically sort and analyze the data and populate the grid in the form.
If George can get ahold of one of those setups or otherwise figure how to do it himself, he'll be updating this form at some point in the future. Hopefully a little automation will eventually smooth the way for those people who choose to take advantage of it.
The download is a freebie, and is available at the email address listed at the top of the attached pdf. http://box.net/shared/3nx558czgn or Download 1004MC Click here for a pdf preview: Download 1004MC
