Thirty years of experience helping appraisers
DataMaster has over thirty years of experience creating appraisal software for the real estate industry. Our revolutionary software helps real estate appraisers save both time and money by completing appraisal forms quickly and easily — without mistakes.
The cards that started it all.
DataMaster founder Rick Lifferth has been an appraiser for over forty years and is still actively appraising. Early in his career, he recognized the need for improvements in handling all the data appraisers use. He founded Market Data Service in 1980 and created a data co-op in Utah to share appraiser data — boxes of cards, each with specific property characteristics, that appraisers used to find comparable properties. The first electronic version of DataMaster came on the market in 1996.
DataMaster patents.
The US Patent and Trademark Office awarded DataMaster multiple patents covering how DataMaster gathers real estate data from multiple sources, including public records and MLS property data, and our custom formatting engine which ensures compliance with rules and regulations and helps you be sure your reports are correct and formatted to industry standards and preferences.
DataMaster’s future.
DataMaster has continued to implement refinements to our real estate software for appraisers based on our own research and our customers’ suggestions. We are confident that DataMaster will save you up to 60 minutes per report even with the new UAD 3.6 data standard, increasing your productivity and putting money back into your wallet.
