The Early Days of DataMaster
DataMaster founder Rick Lifferth

He founded Market Data Service in 1980 using the tools and methodology that we use in the DataMaster appraisal software. He created a data co-op in Utah to share appraiser data. The system that preceded DataMaster software consisted of boxes of cards, each with specific property characteristics. Appraisers could then use the cards to find comparable properties. Rick still says he can find comparables with the old card system almost as fast as our software can. The first electronic version of the DataMaster system came on the market in 1996. Market Data Service, LLC was organized as a Utah limited liability company in 1998 and has continuously operated the business.
