EDR exists to provide those involved in real estate transactions with the information and solutions they need to assess, understand and manage environment risk.

Collateral360’s Vendor Scoring and Invoicing

Understanding the performance of your various vendor panels including appraisers, environmental consultants, construction/engineering and others is not only a prudent practice, but also a regulation under FIRREA. 

While most lenders use some type of system to grade vendor performance such as quality and on time delivery, the limited flexibility of the scoring tools drive many to go through the motions to simply satisfy compliance efforts. Few are capturing meaningful data and leveraging it to drive decision making. Until now. 

This complimentary Product Spotlight will focus on Collateral360’s new vendor scorecards feature that allows you to create scorecards for multiple service types including appraisal, environmental, engineering, etc. or to capture details specific to loan or property type.  

We’ll also be reviewing enhancements to the platform’s invoicing feature that allows you to create multiple invoice templates by service type or other, define formatting parameters, and even include your brand logo.

Manage Your Vendor Panels Like a Champ with Collateral360

Join this product spotlight when Al Gabberty and Matt DeVoe will demonstrate this powerful new feature.

Advanced Reporting with Collateral360

Sound business considerations, combined with growing regulatory requirements and focus, are driving commercial real estate investors and lenders to include an assessment of building energy performance in the property condition assessment (PCA) that is conducted as part of the property due diligence process prior to the transaction's closing. 

Newly published ASTM E3224-19, Building Energy Performance and Improvement Evaluation (referred to as the “BEPIE”), aims to address this growing need for assessing building energy performance. Its purpose is to identify if a building is under-performing compared to peers, and if so, identify possible measures that might improve energy performance and/or cost. The overall objective is to evaluate what it might take to achieve parity with peer buildings in the area. E3224 is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with ASTM E2018 for property condition assessment. As such, it will become more and more likely that a PCA consultant will be asked to include an assessment of the building’s energy performance. 

Join this webinar when Anthony Buonicore, P.E., Chair, ASTM Building Energy Performance Task Group, will cover the background for E3224, its practical application as part of a PCA, and the opportunity it offers firms who are able to include  energy assessments into their scopes of work.

What You’ll Learn:

• The regulatory and business driving forces behind building’s energy
  performance assessment
• The steps in conducting a BEPIE pre-acquisition screening
  assessment
• The data requirements for a BEPIE 
• How BEPIE results can be integrated into a PCA
• Why this is a new business opportunity for property due diligence
  consultants 
• The benefit to commercial real estate owners, investors and lenders

Understanding ASTM’s New Building Energy Assessment Standard E3224-19

Over the past two years, there has been a wave of regulatory changes around the use of evaluations for valuing real estate. It started in March 2017 with a joint letter to congress issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination requesting a review of the threshold, and there have been several changes since, with the banking regulators, credit union administration, and Small Business Administration all coming out with new rules. 
What next? Join this complimentary webcast where EDR and our partner, LCS’s Sr Vice President of Valuation Services Eric Roeder, will discuss the latest rules governing the use of evaluations, as well as LCS evaluations services available in Collateral360. 
LCS commercial evaluations provide a cost effective, fast and accurate means of determining value. In addition to a thorough review of the new regulations, we'll review the LCS evaluation reports.

New information on the dangers of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, or PFAS, is creating confusion and concern across the environmental industry. Many states have put new guidelines and regulations in place for managing PFAS risks, and the U.S. EPA will likely act soon. In today’s uncertain regulatory environment, what do environmental due diligence professionals need to be aware of to prevent liability for themselves and their clients? EDR has teamed up with leading national PFAS expert Dr. Harry Behzadi of SGS to share the practical information you need to identify and manage PFAS risks during property due diligence.

Competitive pressures are requiring real estate lenders and investors to complete underwriting and due diligence more quickly and cost effectively than ever, but not at the expense of prudent risk management, or for regulated banks and credit unions, compliance.  

One of the most time consuming and costly components to lending is the data collection and analysis required for underwriting, especially the appraisal procurement and review process. While technology exists to streamline the process, the reality is most lenders still use excel spreadsheets, word processing software and email to support the process. 

Join this complimentary webcast where we’ll demonstrate how technology is transforming the appraisal procurement and review process. See how some lenders are reducing appraisal cycle time by as much as 60%, while at the same time building powerful business intelligence by capturing valuation and other data.

The review process is a critical step in the underwriting process. Appraisals, evaluations, environmental and construction reports require reviews to verify and document the quality, accuracy and acceptability of the due diligence findings. 

The reality is, the review process is a very manual, disjointed and labor-intensive effort that can delay closings and add costs. It also comes with compliance and risk management implications.
