For rural appraisers documenting aerial and parcel context
Get a source-cited aerial research page you can use, revise, or exclude.
CropLens prepares a one-page, appraiser-controlled research page for one rural parcel: imagery source/date, boundary basis, observable context, verification questions, and reliance limits. You decide what belongs in the workfile. Workfile prep, not valuation: no comps, AVM, appraisal review, compliance opinion, or value conclusion.
Example first. Work email only. No property details or assignment data needed.

Appraiser-controlled: use, revise, exclude, or ignore.
Factual context only: no value, no comps, no appraisal opinion.
Why appraisers use it
Aerial screenshots get risky when source, date, boundary basis, or reliance limits are unclear.
Show the boundary source used for context without treating it as a survey, title, or legal-boundary conclusion.
Use the page as research support, revise it, or exclude it from the workfile.
What the sample shows
A source-cited research page you can review, verify, or exclude.
CropLens organizes imagery source/date, the boundary source used for context, visible field context, verification questions, and reliance/exclusion notes into one concise page. It does not tell you what to conclude; you decide whether anything belongs in the workfile, needs verification, or should be excluded.
Source, date, and boundary source
Imagery source/date and the boundary source used for context are shown up front.
Factual observations only
Visible patterns are written as observations and questions, not value, condition, or marketability conclusions.
Verify, use, or exclude
Weak imagery, unclear boundary basis, or unsupported context is marked for verification, use, revision, or exclusion.
Low-friction first pass
Review the format first. Decide the next step later.
Review the sample PDF
No property details or call needed. Check the format, citations, limits, and exclusion language first.
Request one parcel only if it fits
If useful, a public parcel link, APN, address, or boundary is enough for one scoped research page.
Decide what to verify, use, or exclude
The appraiser determines relevance, reliability, scope, wording, and whether anything belongs in the workfile.
Trust comes from limits
Built to show limits, not hide them.
CropLens separates observable context from assumptions and names what the source material cannot support. It is not an appraisal, valuation, appraisal review, evaluation, compliance opinion, HBU support, marketability conclusion, property-condition conclusion, value conclusion, value support, or price support. The appraiser determines relevance, reliability, scope, wording, use, and exclusion.
Source/date cited on the page
Each page names the imagery source/date and the boundary source used for context.
No score or value conclusion
The output is a readable research page, not a land score, value support, or appraisal conclusion.
No parcel details required first
The first response can simply be the sample. Parcel or assignment details are optional until the format is useful.

Get the sample research page. No property required.
Review the page structure, source/date notes, boundary caveats, and exclusion language before sharing parcel details or booking a call. If it fits your workflow, request one parcel-specific page later.
