""With this partnership, our clients will still get the benefits of local experts who understand local market dynamics - only now they will enjoy a greater level of data and reporting than possible before. It represents a true step forward in the application of human skills as an enhancement to robust analytics,"" Fall explained.
The new partnership will include enhanced versions of RE Value Pro and Micro Market BPO, Valuation Partners' hybrid valuation products for lenders, servicers, and asset managers. The companies will redesign both products to include Collateral Analytics' technology and price, sales activity, and market condition reports.
Future plans include blending analytics and expertise for lenders, servicers, and asset managers who want more than the options provided by broker price opinions (BPOs).
