In addition to the many other services and benefits offered by the Savannah Area Chapter of the Appraisal Institute, we also provide a data service known as the Daily Record.  Subscribers to this service receive by e-mail weekly summaries of deed transactions in Chatham County along with monthly summaries for Bryan and Effingham Counties.  Some of the pertinent data included in each summary is grantor, grantee, deed book and page, sale price, location, and other valuable details regarding transfers of real estate.

This information is primarily generated for appraisers to use as a base to search for and help verify comparable sales; however, other real estate professionals may also find this service useful to help identify sales and follow market activity.  There is no better source in the Savannah Metropolitan Area to research and track real estate sales.

The summary reports are sent in a ".pdf" format, which can be opened and read on any computer with a current version of the Adobe Acrobat Reader.  If you do not already have Acrobat Reader, you can download a copy for free by clicking on the logo below.

If you have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here for a sample copy of the .pdf file for Chatham County.

Subscribers to this service also receive a cumulative spreadsheet in Excel format.  This spreadsheet provides the same data as that found in the .pdf format, but it may easily be searched using the Excel program.  This data may also be imported into various other software programs to aid in cataloging sales by type, location, price, data of sale, or other pertinent variables.  If you have Excel on your computer, you can view a sample by clicking here.

Subscriptions to the Daily Record are available to both members and nonmembers of the Savannah Area Chapter of the Appraisal Institute at a quarterly rate of $225.  To subscribe to this service, click here.  For further information on the service, please call Steve Mackie, Treasurer, at 912-355-5588, Ext. 4.
