On the Move with ACI OpenHouse

Last year in support of social distancing, we launched ACI OpenHouse™. This innovative inspection tool was designed for an appraiser to facilitate an exchange with an inspection contact to collect property data that includes photos and responses to a short survey. Today, appraisers are conducting the inspection without a third party, but are still benefiting from using OpenHouse to collect property data and photos that import directly into an appraisal report.

Follow these 3 easy steps to use ACI OpenHouse on your next inspection, and eliminate unnecessary retyping of inspection data and image handling.

1. Before You Go to the Inspection:

  • Open or create a report that contains a Subject Property address.
  • Click eServices > ACI OpenHouse > Property Survey Request.
  • Select New Survey Request and enter or verify Subject Street Address.
  • Enter your email information for both Property Contact’s Email and Your Email boxes.
  • You will receive an email with a Survey link and an email with a Survey Access Code.

2. On Inspection:

  • From a phone or mobile device, open your property survey link from the email. Internet connection is required.
  • Answer the questions pertaining to the property and take photos.
  • Once finished, hit Submit to complete the survey.

3. Back at the Office:

  • You will receive an email with the Survey Access Code once the survey is complete.
  • Open the corresponding report and go to: eServices > ACI OpenHouse > Property Survey Request.
  • Select Retrieve Survey Responses.
  • Copy and paste your access code and click OK to import survey data and photos.
  •
