Cybersecurity attacks have affected many appraisers this year — remember Rapattoni MLS systems going down. Now, First American and ACI have experienced an incident and had to take some systems offline.
A number of companies have asked if their ACI appraisers could use ClickFORMS to complete their assignments while ACI resolves their issues. We said yes, and want to extend that same courtesy to all ACI users. This is a time to band together for the greater good. A cybersecurity attack could happen to any one of us.
So, if you would like to use ClickFORMS to complete your assignments, you are welcome to do so. There is no charge, no fees and no high-pressure sales calls to switch vendors.
We know you need to get some reports out, so we have created a quick start video that covers ClickFORMS basics. It's just a few minutes long and should be all you need to get started.

For additional information on using ClickFORMS, please go to our support page. This page has links to helpful videos, how to contact support and other helpful tips so you can get up to speed using ClickFORMS.
The full working version of ClickFORMS is good for 30 days. This should be enough time for ACI to resolve their issues and for you to get your appraisals completed. Once ACI solves their issues, you can go back to using your ACI software.
We are offering this as a courtesy to all appraisers who have been impacted by the unfortunate ACI/First American cybersecurity issues and we wish ACI a speedy resolution of their issues.
Happy Holidays to all and Best Wishes for an "uneventful" 2024.
