Nationwide Appraisal & Settlement Network Introduces PanelPlus Vendor Management Solution

Nationwide Appraisal & Settlement Network (NASN) has announced the launch of its PanelPlus service. PanelPlus allows clients to maintain their existing relationships by letting NASN take over approving, managing and maintaining their preferred vendor profiles in a compliant manner. The PanelPlus service can work in two different ways. Clients can choose from either a customized version of this service or select the standard service. The customized options allow the client to create their appraiser panels in a compliant manner by having NASN manage the panel with respect to Appraiser Independence guidelines. In cases where the client prefers to customize this feature, NASN will register and approve appraisers for addition to the panel, manage and track performance, and report back to the client, quarterly, with results. Performance management and tracking is provided so clients are able to maintain standards and reach new goals with regards to quality and efficiency. Should a less hands on approach be desired, NASN’s established network of professional appraisers will be utilized. This is the PanelPlus standard option. NASN’s team of account managers work with the appraisers building a solid rapport and maintaining a successful working relationship with each of them. They coach their appraisers on performance, communication and quality by staying in tune with their files and their client’s individual needs.
