http://www.realestateappraisertips.info/ - Real Estate Appraiser Tips! Home Appraisers: A Possible Replacement For That Older Disto?

I told you a couple of weeks ago about my expensive Disto Plus nearing the end of economic life here, Bad News For Appraisers That Bought Disto Laser Meters From Matt Johnson and Lasermeters.com ! Well, this past Thursday, it died for good! After 5 years of using a Disto, I was almost paralyzed without one. I drove to Lowes and Home Depot to check on a replacement and found the Bosch DLR130K for $99 and the Ryobi Laser Measure TEK4 for $149. I liked the Bosch Laser Measuring device as it was really small, compact and flat for firm velcro hold. I really wanted the Ryobi, but it has a weird shape underneath that velcro wouldn’t easily hold well inside my “Side-Kick” case.

So, I began my search online on Ebay and found the Bosch for $20 starting bid plus shipping, Ryobi for $59.95 plus shipping and multiple Distos starting at $100+. This morning, I settled on the Bosch for $46.51 plus $13.50 shipping for a total of $60.01, saving myself $50 off Retail Plus local taxes, for a new device. And, it was shipped this morning, should be here by Wednesday. I’ll try to remember to give you a report on how this device performs. Honestly, I only use these for one function, distance only. Bill

How Much? Pay-As-You-Go and Pre-Pay.

Pay-As-You-Go $1.79 per use Up To 100. From their site: “With the Pay As You Go program you only pay for the number of transactions used during the month. The per address transaction rate decreases as number of transactions increase.”

Pre-Pay. It would appear that their best price for appraisers would be the 100 for $139.00 or $1.39 per use. It would seem to me that $1.39 per use on a $200 drive-by assignment where there is no MLS history of subject verification would be money well spent. From their site, “Access to Go iLawn is available for purchase in transaction buckets, with bucket sizes ranging from small to large quantities. The larger the address bucket size, the more you save. Directional transactions are purchased in addition to address transactions.”
