Still working on a fix

Just thought I would check in and let everyone know that I am working on a fix for the new website. It is actually more than a fix, it is a whole new system.  I will keep in touch as it progresses, but in the meantime, just keep checking the site by hand.

As a side note, I have started a new "non-Lendervend exclusive" blog.  A place where i can talk about more general appraising and business issues etc. If you are interested, it is located at charliebowens.blogspot.com.

New Order System on the Lendervend site is LIVE

Lendervend has implemented their new order system, where you have to hand enter the "captcha" phrase. I will be working on a fix this weekend and hopefully will get something that works, but in the meantime do not use your automatic order grabbing systems. Turn them off ASAP and check Lendervend by hand until I can get a fix together. I have a few ideas and am working with some computer geniuses to hopefully get something that works.

Maybe this weekend would be a great time to get working on applying to some new AMC's, something to fill the void until Lendervend picks up more in your area.

New Lendervend Security Features

I am sure you have all seen the email by now explaining Lendervend's new "security features".  These are not yet live, so continue to use the system as before.  Once they push these new features out, we will start working on a fix. I have a couple theories about their new system, and if they are correct, it could actually make the system work better than before.  I pulled the purchase link down for the time being, and once I come up with a fix for the new security features I will put it back up.  You are all the best, and let's keep at it.

Pulling the ebook down for now

It looks like Lendervend is instituting a new policy where you can only refresh 5 times a minute and have to enter an alphanumeric code each time. Do they want their appraisers to be able to finish appraisal? Any way, I am pulling down the ebook until I can get a better handle on what this will actually mean and we can build a fix. It hasn't been implemented yet, so keep running the system until they update their site. In the meantime, check out my AMC List for a list of other potential clients. This attempt to "level the playing field" as they say will only benefit the appraisers that can afford someone on staff to watch the site, but we'll see how it plays out.
