Migration

Move in with help. Parallel-run until you're sure.

Coming from Anow, Appraisal Inbox, or spreadsheets? The CSV import wizard does the heavy lifting — and our team will work through the migration with you. Keep your old tool running side-by-side until you're confident.

No card to join. First access this summer. Solo self-serve import takes about 15 minutes; multi-appraiser migrations wrap inside two weeks.

What comes over

The data that runs your business — preserved.

We move what matters and rebuild what doesn't translate. You don't start from scratch.

  • Appraisals

    Open, closed, and historical orders — addresses, fee amounts, status, due dates, assigned appraiser, and workflow stage.
  • Clients & contacts

    Lender contacts, AMC reps, private-party clients — with email, phone, billing terms, and default fee structures.
  • AMCs & platforms

    AMC accounts, platform memberships, and the per-AMC transaction and processing fees that flow to invoices.
  • Invoices & fees

    Invoice history, fee breakdowns, payment status, and outstanding balances — preserved so receivables stay clean.
  • Calendar history

    Past and upcoming inspections, mapped to the right appraisal, with Google Calendar two-way sync configured on day one.
  • Workflow stages

    Your kanban columns — Pick Comps, Before Inspection, After Inspection, QC, Delivered — reconfigured to match how your business actually works.

Source-specific notes

What it looks like coming from your stack.

Every source is different. Here's the honest version of what we import, what we rebuild, and where the rough edges are.

From a forms tool only

No management system to leave? Even easier.

If TOTAL or ClickFORMS is the only software you run today — and the rest lives in your head, a notebook, or a whiteboard — there's almost nothing to export. You start clean and connect your forms tool alongside. We set up your stages, clients, and AMCs together on the kickoff call.

  • Nothing to export — start fresh in minutes
  • Keep TOTAL or ClickFORMS for the report itself
  • Stages, clients, and AMCs configured on the kickoff call

From Anow

Anow's CSV covers the bulk of it.

Anow's CSV export covers most operational data — orders, clients, AMCs, fees. We import it via the wizard. Per-appraiser config (Dropbox/Drive folder paths, signer profiles) is rebuilt during the walkthrough since Anow doesn't structure that data the same way. Moving because of the Anow ownership news? Start with the dedicated export guide below.

  • CSV → smart column mapping wizard
  • AMC and fee rules reconstructed live
  • Dropbox/Drive paths and signer profiles configured during the call
  • Step-by-step Anow export guide: appraisalally.com/migrate/anow

From Appraisal Inbox

Export, map, and reconfigure stages.

Appraisal Inbox CSV export plus our smart-mapping wizard covers the appraisal data. Workflow stages are reconfigured during onboarding so the board mirrors the way you actually move work.

  • CSV export → mapping wizard
  • Stages tagged for Post-Inspection, Finals, and Revisions
  • Notifications routed to the right people, day one

From spreadsheets, Outlook, or manual

Self-serve in about 15 minutes.

The CSV import wizard handles spreadsheets — column mapping, validation, batch processing, and an audit log. It's built into every plan. And for our first 25 founding members, we'll run the whole migration for you, free, whichever plan you're on. If you don't have a CSV yet, we'll help you build one on the kickoff call.

  • CSV import wizard built into every plan
  • Up to 50 records per batch with error reporting
  • Import history with rollback per batch

The process

Six steps. No mystery.

From kickoff to sunset, here's the entire migration timeline. Most multi-appraiser firms are running live in Appraisal Ally inside two weeks, with a 30-day parallel run so nothing gets dropped.

  1. 01

    Kickoff call (15 min)

    We walk through your current stack, your office shape (solo, paired, shared), and what data lives where. We send you the export checklist for your source.

  2. 02

    CSV export from source

    You pull the exports from Anow, Appraisal Inbox, or your spreadsheet. We send you a one-page checklist with exactly which files we need.

  3. 03

    Appraisal Ally import

    We map columns, normalize fee structures, match clients and AMCs, and load the data into your workspace. You watch the dry-run.

  4. 04

    Walkthrough call

    A scheduled call with our team. Together we configure workflow stages, per-appraiser settings, integrations, and your team roster.

  5. 05

    Parallel run (about 30 days)

    Keep your old system running alongside Appraisal Ally — we plan on roughly a 30-day parallel run, and you can extend it as long as you like. Side-by-side until your team is comfortable. No pressure, no cutover panic.

  6. 06

    Sunset the old system

    When you're ready, you cancel the old tool. We'll help you archive a final export so nothing's lost.

Your migration team
Jeff Prewitt, Certified Residential Appraiser

Jeff Prewitt

Certified Residential Appraiser

Colorado Springs, CO

A working appraiser runs your migration.

For our first 25 founding members we run the migration for you, free — a real person on our team, not a contractor reading from a script.

We run a working appraisal business on this product every day and moved all of our own data into it, so we know exactly what a clean cutover takes.

“I built this tool because the four things I was duct-taping together were eating my week. If you've felt that, the migration is the easy part — we've done it on ourselves.”
Jeff Prewitt, founder

Low-risk by design

Try it with real work before you commit to anything.

The migration is the moment of highest risk. The trial and the parallel run are built to take that risk off the table.
