Class Valuation CTO recognized for transforming the appraisal process through AI, data science and a focus on customer outcomes

TROY, Mich., Oct. 21, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company (AMC), announced today that Kaushal Shah, its chief technology officer, has been named a 2025 NewsLink Tech All-Star by the Mortgage Bankers Association, the national association representing the real estate finance industry.

Shah has over 25 years of experience leading IT and marketing organizations, with a track record of building highly skilled and passionate teams and leveraging data to drive purposeful innovation. Shah has made Class Valuation one of the industry’s most advanced adopters of emerging technology by deploying AI in live production environments, not in limited pilots. He led the development of SmartSuite, a suite of AI-powered tools that streamline appraisal assignment, processing and review, and SmartAssign engine, which uses real-time data to match appraisers with assignments, reducing time-to-field at one of the most critical stages of the mortgage process.

These advances result in fewer appraisal-related defects, stronger lender balance sheets, and improved borrower satisfaction. The results are tangible. Appraisal quality issues have dropped by more than 30%, directly reducing costly revision cycles and shortening underwriting times. Importantly, these innovations scale. Under his leadership, Class Valuation has integrated over 15 acquisitions in just two years, seamlessly uniting systems without slowing innovation. His technology architecture absorbed these companies and extended advanced tools across the enterprise, preserving momentum while delivering immediate efficiency gains.

Shah’s work also influences the broader industry. Lenders adopting SmartSuite-enabled workflows report fewer conditions, reduced repurchase requests tied to appraisal defects and meaningful reductions in cycle times. In direct comparisons, Class Valuation has outperformed competitors in 80% of U.S. counties while matching performance elsewhere, a testament to the durability of its approach.

Before joining Class Valuation, Shah led engineering and product teams in banking, telecom, securities and brokerage domains.

“The MBA NewsLink Tech All-Star Awards spotlight individuals whose innovations are truly reshaping the future of our industry,” said John Fraas, CEO of Class Valuation. “Kaushal’s vision, execution and focus on customer success have modernized how appraisals are delivered, making the process faster, more consistent and more transparent for lenders and borrowers. We’re very proud to see him recognized by the MBA, a very prestigious industry organization.”

Argyle CEO Shmulik Fishman honored as a 2024 Tech All-Star by Mortgage Bankers Association

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Argyle, a platform providing real-time income and employment verifications for some of the largest lenders in the United States, today announced its CEO Shmulik Fishman has been named a 2024 Tech All-Star by MBA NewsLink, a publication of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). The award celebrates mortgage industry leaders who have made outstanding contributions to mortgage technology. In bestowing the honor upon Fishman, MBA NewsLink referenced the transformative impact of Argyle, the company Fishman founded in 2018, and its verification of income and employment (VOIE) methodology.

Verifying loan applicants' income and employment has long troubled lenders, with traditional providers achieving only 20-30% success, often requiring costly manual intervention. These outdated solutions are ill-suited to today's workforce and expensive for lenders at a time when origination costs have risen to untenable levels.

Before Argyle, "automated" verification meant paying high fees for outdated, inaccurate consumer data. Fishman launched Argyle to create fast, affordable, consumer-permissioned connections between payroll processors and businesses. Under his leadership, Argyle has achieved an industry-leading conversion rate of 55% while saving companies an average of 80% on total verification costs. Since the beginning of 2023, 98 mortgage lenders have adopted Argyle for VOIE services.

After founding Argyle less than six years ago, Fishman prioritized the creation of its mortgage-specific division. Under his leadership, Argyle became the first consumer-permissioned provider to support Day 1 Certainty(r) as an authorized report supplier for Fannie Mae's Desktop Underwriter(r) (DU(r)) validation service. Fishman also shepherded the company's successful integrations with the Empower loan origination system (LOS) from Dark Matter Technologies, ICE Mortgage Technologies' Encompass LOS and nCino's Mortgage Suite. To further enhance Argyle's mortgage bench strength, he recruited industry veterans Sam E. Oliver III (a three-decade Freddie Mac veteran) and Jason Cave (former chief fintech officer for the Federal Housing Finance Agency) to its advisory board.

"We're on a mission to build a universal network for consumer-permissioned income and employment data to modernize mortgage lending in ways that improve business efficiencies and transform lives," said Fishman. "The entire Argyle team strives to deliver meaningful cost savings, faster processing and underwriting and a superior customer experience, and we're growing and innovating every day."

NotaryCam CEO Rick Triola Named ‘Tech All-Star’ by Mortgage Bankers Association for Second Time in His Career

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NotaryCam(R), the pioneering leader in online notarization and original provider of mortgage eClosing solutions, announced that its founder and CEO Rick Triola is one of the five mortgage technology innovators honored by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) as a 2020 Tech All-Star. In its 19th year, the award "celebrates industry leaders who have made outstanding contributions in mortgage technology."

"This year's Tech All-Star award winners represent the best of the best," said Rick Hill, MBA's Vice President of Technology and Executive Vice President of MISMO. "The mortgage industry in recent years has become a proving ground of innovative technology benefiting the industry and consumers. In an increasingly competitive technology space, these innovators stand out."

Triola is a two-time Tech All-Star award winner, having also earned the honor in 2017 for NotaryCam's eClose360 platform. This year, Triola was recognized for his work in driving industry adoption of remote online notarization (RON) and remote online closings (ROC). Thanks to his educational efforts and grassroots advocacy for RON throughout the country, nearly half of all U.S. states will have a permanent RON law in effect by the end of 2020. Many of these states have simply opted to adopt the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) developed by the Uniform Law Commission - an effort in which Triola was heavily involved.

Due to current events related to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, emergency RON authorizations are being passed in states that did not previously have RON laws on their books, and there is also a bill pending in the U.S. Senate - the Securing and Enabling Commerce Using Remote and Electronic (SECURE) Notarization Act of 2020 - to allow RON nationwide.

"Since founding NotaryCam in 2012, I have striven not only to offer NotaryCam clients the best and most comprehensive RON platform available, but also to stay ahead of the curve on innovation and lead the charge on adoption," stated Triola. "While emergency legislation relating to a pandemic isn't how we wanted those benefits to become known, I hope that NotaryCam can provide a beacon of light right now for states as they issue immediate emergency measures to authorize RON, as well as later on should federal efforts also succeed."

About NotaryCam

After pioneering the world's first multi-party/multi-state remote online notarization (RON), career real estate executive Rick Triola founded NotaryCam and completed the first mortgage remote online closing (ROC) in 2014. Today, NotaryCam is the leader in online notarization and mortgage eClosing solutions, having notarized documents worldwide for hundreds of thousands of customers in all 50 states and more than 146 countries. The company's patented eClose360(R) platform delivers the "perfect" online mortgage closing in every jurisdiction and supports all eClosing scenarios - RON, IPEN or Hybrids - with a flexible workflow for document recording and unparalleled identity verification, security and customer convenience. NotaryCam also proudly maintains an industry-leading 99.8 percent customer satisfaction rating.
