The Tech100 honors companies whose technology solutions are shaping the future of mortgage finance<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

TROY, Mich.,\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Feb.<\/span><\/b> 3<\/span><\/b>, 202<\/span><\/b>6<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2014<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>Class Valuation<\/span><\/a>,<\/span>\u00a0a leading real estate appraisal management company (AMC), has been named to\u00a0<\/span>HousingWire\u2019s<\/span><\/i>\u00a02026 Mortgage Tech100 list, recognizing the most innovative and impactful technology organizations serving the mortgage industry. Class Valuation has earned multiple Tech100 honors over the years, reflecting its sustained leadership in appraisal modernization through advanced technology,\u00a0scale\u00a0and data-driven workflows. Backed by a nationwide panel of\u00a0nearly 20,000\u00a0state-certified appraisers, the company delivers faster, higher-quality valuations that help lenders close more loans, reduce\u00a0risk\u00a0and streamline operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past year, Class Valuation accelerated innovation across its cloud-based appraisal platform, which unifies order management, quality\u00a0control\u00a0and analytics into a single workflow. Its SMART Assign technology uses AI-driven logic to match the most qualified appraiser to each assignment, while the Class\u00a0INtelligence\u00a0Suite applies automated quality checks and escalation rules to\u00a0identify\u00a0issues before delivery. Open API integrations enable seamless connectivity with loan origination systems, supporting\u00a0a more efficient, data-driven appraisal lifecycle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2025, Class Valuation introduced Class\u00a0INtelligence, a next-generation appraisal optimization framework, and expanded automation through its Class Valuation Analysis (CVA) platform. These technologies pair AI-assisted analytics with appraiser\u00a0expertise\u00a0to reduce revisions, improve\u00a0consistency\u00a0and minimize repurchase risk. Early performance results show pre-delivery revisions reduced by 34%, post-delivery revisions down by 39%, and average quality-control cycle times shortened by 7 hours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing named to\u00a0HousingWire\u2019s\u00a0Tech100 list again underscores our commitment to pairing advanced technology with deep valuation expertise,\u201d said John Fraas, CEO of Class Valuation. \u201cAs the industry moves toward modernized, risk-based appraisal workflows, our focus is on delivering measurable efficiency gains, greater transparency and higher-quality outcomes for lenders nationwide.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
