Valued Veterans, a nationwide appraisal management company, has implemented Platinum Data’s RealView appraisal quality technology. RealView provides Valued Veterans with scalability, the company said, which allows it to grow without restriction.
Valued Veterans is the only national appraisal management company (AMC) recognized by the U.S. federal government as a service disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). It has grown from one employee to 25 staff members in several locations in the past three years. The company’s growth plans include targeting companies that want to increase their diversity spending with disabled veteran-owned businesses, and increasing its pool of qualified appraisers by training and mentoring military veterans as appraisers.
“It was a simple equation – the number of qualified appraisers is sharply declining, and there are a lot of veterans looking for work with a strong career path. This is a win-win program,” Valued Veterans CEO Andrew Belt said in a news release, referencing the company’s military veteran appraiser program, which has included 435 veteran appraisers since its inception in 2011. “There’s nothing standing in the way of our growth. Our membership program for veterans is an effort to bring new appraisers into the field and RealView’s scalability enables us to grow without limitations.”
Valued Veterans said RealView‘s equipment is very “user friendly,”while factors involving comprehensive analytics and transparency issues made RealView the top choice.
“Compliance and quality are driving our industry,” Belt said. “RealView provides us with something to give our lender customers that demonstrate our commitment to the utmost in quality and compliance. It puts us head and shoulders above other AMCs.”
“Everyone at Platinum Data applauds the opportunities that Valued Veterans is availing to veteran service people,” Platinum Data President and CEO Phil Huff said. “We’re happy to be of service to the men and women who have given of themselves for this country.”
