Gaining accurate residential and commercial property data can be challenging
Without higher-quality data for a particular property and its characteristics, you may have to ask customers more questions when quoting—and your underwriting decisions may be slower and less precise. How can you quickly get a more complete view of the risk associated with a property and an accurate valuation to support your initial review?
