CALGARY, April 13, 2015 /CNW/ – Zaio Corporation (TSXV: ZAO) (the “Company” or “Zaio”), Valuation Vision LLC (“Valuation Vision”) and Axis Appraisal Management Solutions, Inc. (“Axis”) together, announce that Valuation Vision has won a two year service agreement to provide BPOMerge⢠to a national secondary market lender.
“Valuation Vision is pleased that BPOMerge has been selected to improve the valuation and analysis of our client’s portfolio,” said Shane Copeland, CEO of Valuation Vision. “Through extensive testing against other alternative valuation products, BPOMerge was proven to provide consistent results, earning the trust of one of the nation’s largest secondary market lenders.”
“Valuation Vision is proving to be a cornerstone of our strategy to develop robust technologies and products to the mortgage and banking industry,” said Dave King, President of CEO of Zaio Corporation. “While this agreement initially launches in only three markets, the size and scope of the planned national rollout represents a potential multi-million dollar opportunity.”
BPOMerge⢠is a proprietary valuation solution, where multiple agents provide independent research and price opinions. The patent-pending MergeValue⢠algorithm scores agent performance to determine the most probable outcome as a reconciled value. With 18 expert-selected comparables and over 40 site-inspection data elements, BPOMerge provides a significant amount of data and insight on the subject property.
“BPOMerge was designed to address the accuracy and reliability shortcomings found in traditional Broker Price Opinions,” said Ernie Durbin, Chief Valuation Officer of Valuation Vision. “Our patent-pending technology and process engages multiple agents simultaneously to generate a reconciled consensus value on the subject property.”
Pending final audits and reporting, Valuation Vision will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Zaio Corporation and focus on key alternative valuation technologies.
