ClickFORMS has new AI Reports™

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact Information:
Bradford Technologies, Inc
Tel: 408-360-8520

San Jose, CA, March 15, 2006 – Bradford Technologies announced today that ClickFORMS version 3.4 has the new (version 2.0) AI Reports™. The AI Reports™ are designed to fill a gap in an appraiser’s Forms Library. With the release of the Fannie Mae forms last year, appraisers were left without an updated non-mortgage appraisal form. The new Fannie Mae forms are mortgage-specific, and Fannie Mae precludes appraisers from using them for non-mortgage applications such as divorce and probate.

Leland Trice, chair of the AI Reports™ Project Team, commented on what appraisers can expect: “AI Reports™ is a series of appraisal report formats being created by the Appraisal Institute. Designed by appraisers for appraisers, these formats are intended to be very flexible. The Summary Appraisal Report – Residential - AI Reports™ is our first completed effort. It’s the product of a lot of hard work by the Appraisal Institute and our AI Reports™ Project Team.
The Appraisal Institute has arranged distribution of the form through a number of appraisal software companies, who have agreed to include the form in their product lines.”*

Jeff Bradford, President of Bradford Technologies, said “Given the new USPAP regulation regarding Scope of Work and Intended Use and User, these forms will provide a way for appraisers to perform non-mortgage related appraisals and easily comply with the new guidelines. They are a great solution for non-mortgage related appraisals.”

Appraisers will like the flexibility of the new AI Reports™. “A lot of users will like the ability to add pages within the report. This is different from the standard Fannie Mae forms, which are fairly set in stone,” said Francisco Duran, Chief Forms Designer at Bradford Technologies who participated in the development of the forms. “A lot of appraisers have been asking for this, so it’s obvious that the Institute really listened.”

In this release, ClickFORMS users will be receiving version 2.0 of the AI Reports which includes the Residential Summary Report, the Residential Restricted Report and Land Report.

“We’re pleased with how well our relationship with the Appraisal Institute is going.
We’ve been endorsing their efforts for a long time and are very pleased to be able to actively participate in the development of these forms.” said Jeff Bradford.

For more information on the new AI Reports, visit the Appraisal Institute website at www.appraisalinstitute.com or Bradford Technologies at www.bradfordsoftware.com.

Software Integration Improves Work Flow for
Residential Appraisers Using ClickFORMS

Los Angeles – September 20, 2005 Joining forces to create the most comprehensive software package for residential real estate appraisers, Bradford Technologies, Inc. and Marshall & Swift® have integrated their acclaimed ClickFORMS and SwiftEstimator™ applications.

The convenient and easy-to-use integration enables users to quickly complete Standard, Short, Input Listing and Depreciation cost reports, as well as Form 1007 for FHA and HUD appraisals for single-family and low-rise multi-family residences. With one click, users can produce entire cost approach reports. SwiftEstimator automatically produces reports using property information already entered into ClickFORMS.

“We’re really excited about the seamless integration with SwiftEstimator. We feel that our customers will greatly appreciate the ease and convenience of this added feature in ClickFORMS. The cost approach is a detailed and complicated appraisal method, and can be quite frustrating to both seasoned professionals and new appraisers just entering the field. These are busy times, and the better we can streamline the appraisal process, the better the rewards will be for our customers.”

Sometimes underestimated, the role of the cost approach in modern appraisals in unmistakably significant. Beyond its use an independent method to determine property value, the cost approach presents a highly effective way to verify market-based valuations, project construction costs, adjust estimates to account for unique physical property features, and monitor the local real estate market. It is also extremely useful in determining depreciation values for physical deterioration or functional or external obsolescence, as applied to the market approach.

Linda Jovanelly, Director of Integrated Services Group with Marshall & Swift says: “As an added feature to the ClickFORMS suite of appraisal tools, the integration with SwiftEstimator offers instant access to our real-time cost databases and automated calculation technology. ClickFORMS users can now produce cost approach reports for any subject property in a fraction of the time.”

An online cost estimating application, SwiftEstimator determines the value of any site-built or manufactured residence through property-specific information on building style, quality level, square footage and ZIP Code. The application produces entire cost approach reports in minutes using Marshall & Swift’s acclaimed cost data. One of the most widely used appraisal software packages, ClickFORMS enables appraisers to acquire, analyze, present, store and transmit completed appraisal reports in an easy, standardized format.

Together, these applications offer the ultimate software solution for residential appraisers.

San Jose, CA – June, 2005, Bradford Technologies is launching its totally new ClickNOTES Pro real estate appraisal software. ClickNOTES Pro is designed for personal digital assistants
(PDAs) and runs on the PocketPC operating environment.

“ClickNOTES Pro will revolutionize the way appraisal data is collected,” said Bradford Technologies founder and president Jeff Bradford. “Our testing and studies show that appraisers who use ClickNOTES Pro will save an average of thirty minutes per appraisal job. This means that the software will pay for itself in a few jobs.”

ClickNOTES Pro follows Bradford Technologies’ data-centric design philosophy, where the collected data can be used in any form and then re-used in a new form with a simple point-and-click. “The new Fannie Mae forms will soon be a requirement and ClickNOTES Pro will ensure that moving data to the forms is still a simple drag-and-drop,” said Bradford. “Basically one click. Our competitors force their customers to completely recreate jobs for the new forms.
This can take an hour or more. We think our customers would rather be doing something more productive.”

ClickNOTES Pro was designed for PDAs and how they are used in the field. Bradford didn’t try to fit PC-based software onto a three-inch PDA screen. “That would be a navigation nightmare,” said Bradford. “Our testing showed that ClickNOTES Pro would be used for data gathering and that ClickFORMS would be used for completing the forms. In other words, ClickNOTES Pro is like an extension of ClickFORMS.” ClickNOTES Pro works on PocketPC-based PDAs such as the HP iPAQ. In fact, during the introduction of ClickNOTES Pro, Bradford Technologies is giving away a free HP iPAQ with every purchase of ClickNOTES Pro.

ClickNOTES Pro and other real estate appraisal software can be purchased at Bradford Technologies by calling 800-622-8727 or visiting the Bradford Technologies website at www.bradfordsoftware.com.
