Class Valuation and Makena partner to help appraisers prepare for UAD 3.6

Class Valuation appraisers can collect better data in less time with real-time ANSI-compliant floor plans, GLA calculations, and discrete, UAD 3.6-ready data capture built into every inspection

TROY, Mich. and NAPLES, Fla., June 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company, today announced a partnership with Makena, a next-generation property data platform designed to help enterprises collect accurate, structured and actionable property data at scale. Through the partnership, Class Valuation appraisers will gain access to InstaPlan®, Makena’s mobile data collection and floor plan application, as they prepare for the wide-scale UAD 3.6 mandate on November 2, 2026.

InstaPlan generates ANSI-compliant floor plans, including real-time GLA calculations, and captures discrete data points as appraisers move through a property. Unlike other mobile data collection apps, appraisers can stop and resume collection at any point and complete all required data fields before leaving the property, making it a practical tool for UAD 2.6 reports today and built for what UAD 3.6 will require. InstaPlan integrates directly with SFREP and supports MISMO-compliant exports for appraisers using other form providers.

“We’re recommending InstaPlan to our appraisers because we’ve seen what it can do, and we’re confident in the technology,” said Chris Flynn, chief operating officer of Class Valuation. “UAD 3.6 is bringing meaningful changes to how appraisers collect and report property data, and we want our appraisers to have the right tools in hand before the mandate. This partnership is a direct expression of our commitment to supporting the appraisers who rely on Class Valuation.”

Class Valuation appraisers using InstaPlan are already seeing meaningful time savings, with average inspection times dropping from 1.3 hours to less than 30 minutes for a standard 3,300 square foot property. Faster data collection reduces revision requests and accelerates report delivery.

“We built InstaPlan to take the complexity out of property data collection so appraisers can focus on their work, not the tools,” said Anthony Guarascio, co-founder and chief executive officer of Makena. “Partnering with Class Valuation is a natural fit because they understand what appraisers need and share our commitment to bringing practical innovation to the industry.”

“As UAD 3.6 preparations ramp up, appraisers need tools that make data collection faster, more consistent and easier to manage in the field,” said Steve Yatko, co-founder and chief technology officer of Makena. “InstaPlan was designed to support that shift with a simple mobile workflow that captures floor plans, photos and room-level data in one pass.”

InstaPlan is available now for iOS through the Apple App Store. Class appraisers can complete InstaPlan training at makenauniversity.com.

Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 30, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Secured Signing, a global leader in Digital Signature and Remote Online Notarization (RON) technology, recently sat down with industry innovators Tall Poppy Real Estate to discuss the successful, large-scale integration of the Secured Signing API into their core proprietary platform. By embedding high-security digital signatures directly into its internal workflows, Tall Poppy is effectively redefining the benchmarks for transparency, efficiency, and trust within the international real estate market.

Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards
Image caption: Secured Signing API Integration Marks Major Advancement in Digital Property Transaction Standards.

In an industry where high-stakes financial transactions often rely on fragmented manual processes, Tall Poppy has moved to eliminate “friction” by automating the entire document lifecycle. This strategic shift ensures that listing agreements, vendor disclosures, and sale contracts are managed within a single, secure, and brand-consistent environment.

SOLVING GLOBAL FRICTION IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

Real estate markets worldwide face identical bottlenecks: sequential signing delays, human errors in document handling, and inconsistent user experiences across devices. Tall Poppy addressed these challenges by selecting Secured Signing as the engine behind its digital transformation. Renowned for its tamper-proof technology, Secured Signing ensures authenticity and integrity at every stage of the property transaction.

“We needed more than a standalone tool; we required a signing engine embedded directly into our workflow,” says Michael Graves of Tall Poppy Real Estate. “We throw a document at Secured Signing, define the parameters, and the API controls the journey from there. It ensures every stakeholder, whether vendor or purchaser, enjoys a seamless, professional experience.”

Key Innovations in the Tall Poppy Workflow:

  • Parallel Signing Capabilities: Unlike traditional linear processes, multiple parties can now sign documents simultaneously. This significantly reduces the time-to-close in competitive, time-sensitive property markets.
  • API-Driven Consistency: By utilizing the API, Tall Poppy standardizes signature formats across all mobile and desktop devices, ensuring legal validity and a polished professional output every time.
  • Mobile-First Accessibility: Recognizing the global shift toward mobile commerce, the integration provides a frictionless experience for clients to sign documents on the go, without the need for printing, scanning, or specialized apps.

A PARTNERSHIP BUILT ON SECURITY AND SUPPORT

The decision to partner with Secured Signing was driven by the need for a “best-of-breed” solution that offers both high-level compliance and responsive technical support. This allows Tall Poppy to maintain a “pay-for-what-you-use” efficiency while delivering a secure environment that meets rigorous global standards for identity verification and document integrity.

“The integration allows us the flexibility to wrap our unique processes around a world-class signing solution,” Graves adds. “It ensures that the experience we offer to our vendors, buyers, and salespeople is not just modern, but the most secure available.”

“Working with the team at Tall Poppy Real Estate has been a standout example of what’s possible when two technology-forward organizations align,” said Mike Eyal, CEO of Secured Signing. “By integrating our API directly into their proprietary workflow, Tall Poppy hasn’t just improved speed, they’ve completely removed the friction from the document lifecycle. We are proud to provide the security and integrity that anchors their platform, and we look forward to continuing to set new standards for transparency in the real estate industry together.”

ABOUT TALL POPPY REAL ESTATE

Tall Poppy Real Estate is a tech-driven real estate agency focused on fairness, transparency, and excellence. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a centralized support model, Tall Poppy provides an industry-leading service for New Zealand homeowners and sets a blueprint for the future of global real estate.

Class Valuation and Land Gorilla Automate 1004D Final Appraisal Inspections

New integration speeds construction lending by reducing delays and improving compliance

TROY, Mich., and SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Oct. 28, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Class Valuation, a leading real estate appraisal management company, and Land Gorilla, a leading provider of construction lending software, today announced a joint integration that adds a new Appraisal Management Company category to Land Gorilla’s inspection marketplace. This enables lenders to order or automate final inspections and appraisal updates directly within the Land Gorilla platform.

Class Valuation and Land Gorilla
Image caption: Class Valuation and Land Gorilla Automate 1004D Final Appraisal Inspections.

This collaboration centralizes a critical step in the construction loan lifecycle and is designed to cut delays, reduce risk and speed draw disbursements for lenders.

Through Land Gorilla’s marketplace, mutual clients can automatically trigger inspection orders when a project reaches its completion milestone. Class Valuation routes the request to the original appraiser when available or quickly assigns a qualified local appraiser. This minimizes the end-of-project bottleneck that often stretches multiple weeks for many lenders.

The partnership also supports additional Class Valuation products, providing lenders with greater assurance in collateral valuation data, alongside Land Gorilla’s secure and auditable inspection workflows. With appraisal products becoming the third major category in Land Gorilla’s marketplace — joining draw inspections and title updates — the direct integration standardizes data exchange and order processing. It moves beyond customized connections to a reliable, repeatable system that will serve new-construction, investment and private-lending segments and credit unions. Moreover, this integration will support the delivery of Update and Completion appraisal reports in the new UAD 3.6 format. The integration is expected to be available midway through the fourth quarter, with broad access for Land Gorilla lenders at launch.

“This is about helping general contractors get their final disbursement faster,” said Sean Faries, CEO of Land Gorilla. “By embedding Class Valuation directly into our Marketplace, lenders get an automated, scalable path to final inspections that reduces manual touches, accelerates final payment and closes out projects faster.”

“This is really two leaders coming together to remove a costly choke point in construction lending,” said John Fraas, CEO of Class Valuation. “Our nationwide 1004D/Final Appraisal Inspections coverage combined with Land Gorilla’s automation helps lenders in any market — busy or slow — close out projects faster, lower carrying costs and mitigate compliance risk. The fact that we can also quickly assign the final inspection back to the original appraiser adds a layer of certainty that the lenders need to feel confident in the final approval decision.”

ABOUT CLASS VALUATION

Class Valuation is a leading nationwide appraisal management company (AMC) renowned for its commitment to fast turn times, exceptional quality and unparalleled client service. The company leverages a powerful combination of skilled professionals, innovative products, streamlined processes and advanced technology to empower lenders in fulfilling homeownership dreams.

Beycome Launches in Ohio – Making Housing More Affordable, for Us the People

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 6, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Beycome (Beycome.com), the leading direct-to-consumer residential real estate platform—closing a home every 30 minutes without in-house agents, middlemen, or hefty commissions, and saving users an average of $12,400 per sale, is proud to announce its official expansion into Ohio.

Beycome launched in Ohio in May 2025
Image caption: Beycome launched in Ohio in May 2025.

After a successful launch in Indiana, Beycome is doubling down on its mission to make housing more affordable for everyone. Powered by Artur, its AI super-agent, and deep tech that automates 90% of the real estate journey, Beycome delivers real savings—up to 6% when selling, 2% cash back when buying—with title and escrow fully integrated into one seamless platform.

Since launching in 2020, Beycome has closed over 16,600+ property sales across 11 states, saving users more than $181 million in fees typically paid to third parties and middlemen. From listing and marketing to negotiation and legal documents, Beycome’s all-in-one platform handles it all—at a fraction of the traditional cost—putting more purchasing power back where it belongs: in people’s hands.

“With so many users in Ohio already using—or trying to use—our platform daily, and the constant requests we’ve received from Ohioans, this expansion has been on our radar for months. It was the natural next step for us,” said Cyril Carbonnier, Beycome’s CTO and Co-Founder.

Following the August 2024 NAR settlement, Beycome revamped its buyer program to charge just a 1% fee—crediting buyers with the remaining traditional commission (typically 2%, Avg/$9,700 per transaction) at closing. The result: more transparency, more savings, and a real shift in favor of the consumer.

Ohio residents now have instant access to Beycome’s full suite of real estate tools, starting at just a $99 flat fee. This includes exposure on 100+ top real estate sites, advanced marketing tools, automated legal documents, negotiation support, and Artur—our AI-powered co-pilot. The buyer program is already live in Beta, and title services are launching soon.

Nico Jodin, Founder and CEO of Beycome, shared his vision: “All the noise and conflict in today’s real estate world shows how far the industry has drifted from what really matters: You, me, the people. The owner, the buyer, the family or individual trying to make it work in a high-cost, high-rate market. We built Beycome to put them back at the center. With real tech, real savings, and zero middlemen, we’re making sure the money goes where it truly belongs—into people’s hands.”

With its expansion into Ohio, Beycome continues its mission to make real estate accessible, transparent, and fair for everyone.

ABOUT BEYCOME:

Beycome.com is a pioneering direct-to-consumer real estate platform offering smarter, faster, and more affordable tools for buyers and sellers.

Armadillo x Beycome: Expanding the real-estate ecosystem

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Pioneering homeowner-centric tech startups Armadillo, a modern tech-enabled home warranty platform, and beycome, a leading tech-enabled digital real estate platform, have launched a partnership to provide homeowners and soon-to-be homeowners with an additional tool to facilitate the home selling experience.

This collaboration provides beycome's 'seller' clients with the ability to add an Armadillo home warranty in-app to reduce friction for the seller and move the transaction along more smoothly and efficiently. Armadillo's product also provides support via seller's coverage, which covers the cost of appliance/system breakdowns that may occur leading up to a closing date.

"Armadillo's value proposition goes arm-in-arm with beycome and their client base. Adding an Armadillo plan removes any uncertainties around potential breakdowns of home appliances/systems and removes obstacles that could hinder a sale. Armadillo x Beycome means that properties sell more quickly and at a higher value," said Armadillo CEO Matan Slagter.

"Our partnership with Armadillo aligns with our goal of making real estate transactions as stress-free as possible, and this home warranty plan is a critical component of that effort," said beycome CEO Nico Jodin. "We quickly discovered we share a fundamental ethos and circumstance: the inception of both companies was a response to the industry standard that just wasn't cutting it. We were both driven to do things differently and we knew there would be an opportunity in the future to do something meaningful together."

In December 2022, Armadillo and Beycome began work on an integration, and hit the market in under 2 weeks. When the Armadillo x Beycome collab dropped - despite it being during the slowest real estate season - home sellers jumped to add Armadillo coverage to their listings.

Armadillo and Beycome are next-generation platforms for homeowners and sellers. With the Armadillo x Beycome partnership, the platforms make buying and renting a home easier, faster, cheaper and fair by helping buyers and renters through every step of the process, consolidating it all in one digital platform and putting commission dollars back in the sellers' pocket.

ABOUT BEYCOME:

Beycome is a real estate technology platform that revolutionized the process of buying and selling homes.
