How Connexions’ Vendor Directory Simplifies Appraiser Search and Onboarding

What Is the Vendor Directory?  

The Vendor Directory is a built-in feature within Connexions that enables users to search for licensed appraisers across the U.S. based on location. It offers an easier, faster, and more accurate way to identify and invite appraisers to your panel. Unlike traditional methods that rely on email chains, outdated spreadsheets, or external databases, the Vendor Directory consolidates everything in one place, right inside your workflow.

Send invitations: Reach out to appraisers directly from the platform  

Automatic onboarding: Once accepted, default configurations are applied automatically Everything from discovery to deployment happens within the Connexions ecosystem — no manual entry or extra tools needed.
