ProxyPics: Nothing is published on collector vetting or quality control, nor on rework rates. HomeVision: Every efficiency figure is vendor-reported with no third-party validation. HomeVision: No named LOS integration is published. HomeVision: Reviews appraisals only, with ordering and payment handled elsewhere.
Which one fits which shop

What each entry concludes
ProxyPics: ProxyPics is a property data collection network, not a valuation platform. ProxyPics: Work goes to a pool the company sizes at 180,000 plus collectors, or to the borrower via. HomeVision: HomeVision is not an ordering platform. HomeVision: Its product, MIRA, reads a finished appraisal and runs the policy review a human would otherwise do.
