Valligent Technologies Wins HousingWire Tech100 Award for Second Consecutive Year

ROSEVILLE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Valligent Technologies (Valligent), the leading residential valuation technology company, today announced that it has been awarded HousingWire's Tech100 award for the second consecutive year.

Now in its eighth year, the HousingWire Tech100 program recognizes the most innovative technology companies in the U.S. housing economy. For 2020, HousingWire recognized Valligent for the VRAR (Virtual Residential Appraisal Report), a 100 percent regulatory compliant full interior inspection appraisal that can be completed in as little as one hour, rather than the typical five to ten days.

The VRAR uses virtual property inspections conducted through a new mobile technology. The technology is so comprehensive that it enables an inspector to complete a comprehensive inspection without being on the property. Valligent has been using the virtual property inspections for the past year and has perfected the proprietary patent-pending technology during that time.

"Many are concerned about the coronavirus pandemic, and borrowers are very uneasy about having a stranger inside their homes," said Jeremy McCarty, CEO of Valligent Technologies. "On the other side of the equation, appraisers are becoming increasingly hesitant to inspect properties. A virtual property inspection eases fears and provides an enhanced borrower experience. Given the circumstances, that's as important, or more, as its speed and efficiency."

The appraisal inspection is the only aspect of the residential loan process that traditionally necessitates person-to-person contact, as the appraiser must enter the borrower's home to complete the property inspection.

With the VRAR, the homeowner simply schedules the inspection time and date through a web calendar and the inspection can take place in as little as one hour later. The VRAR is completed shortly thereafter by a Valligent certified appraiser.

The goal of the Tech100 program is to provide housing professionals with a definitive list of the most innovative and impactful companies that can be leveraged to identify partners and solutions to the problems that mortgage lenders and real estate professionals face every day.

About Valligent Technologies

Valligent Technologies is an award-winning, provider of alternative residential valuation solutions employing patent pending processes and technologies. Over the past year, the company's VRAR has gained significant attention among lenders, the GSEs and the media as the industry's first 100 percent regulatory compliant full interior inspection appraisal that can be completed in as little as one hour, rather than the typical five to ten days. Valligent, which counts among its customers hundreds of banks, credit unions, and financial institutions, was established in 2002 and is based in Roseville, California.

"We're thrilled that our efforts landed us on HousingWire's 2020 Tech100 list and honored to receive this recognition."

HousingWire Lists OpenClose as a 2017 HW TECH100 Mortgage Technology Provider for the Fourth Year in a Row

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- OpenClose(R), a multi-channel loan origination system (LOS) mortgage software provider, announced that HousingWire has again been recognized as a top 100 mortgage technology provider. The annual HW TECH100(TM) list recognizes the most innovative technology firms in the U.S. housing economy.

"The companies that make up the 2017 HW TECH100(TM) are the cream of the crop of the entire housing industry, from real estate to mortgage lending, servicing, and investment," said HousingWire Senior Financial Reporter Ben Lane. "These companies aren't just taking part in the housing industry's technological revolution; they're leading it."

OpenClose has been experiencing significant growth over the past few years and grew by an impressive 30 percent in 2016. The impetus for growth was the attraction by lending entities to OpenClose's LenderAssist(TM) LOS, which is completely web-based and has true multi-channel automation capability from a single platform. In addition, OpenClose has had significant success with its OC Correspondent(TM) module that lenders and aggregators are using to grow existing correspondent/conduit or launch entirely new ones. Lastly, OpenClose enhanced its consumer direct solution, ConsumerAssist(TM).

"It's an honor to again be named one of the leading technology firms in the industry by HousingWire," said JP Kelly, president of OpenClose. "We've been in a growth mode the past few years, which is the result of the innovation solutions we continually develop and enhance, and this award reflects that hard work."

"The companies in the 2017 HW Tech100 cover the entire mortgage finance spectrum. There's hardly a corner of our industry that hasn't been transformed in some way, either by fintech startups focusing on a specific software need or legacy companies evolving to compete in the new environment," said HousingWire Magazine Editor Sarah Wheeler. "Now more than ever, these companies are delivering the innovation this industry needs to do its most important job: supporting the American Dream."

OpenClose's solutions are in use by medium to large size mortgage bankers, banks, credit unions and aggregators to automate complex lending processes.
