About PropertyRate:
PropertyRate was founded in 2004, when three brothers saw the need for an independent appraisal management company that could meet the rapidly changing needs of both a growing, increasingly decentralized mortgage industry and the local, independent appraisers who serve as a lynchpin in the property valuation process. The company began by pairing its highly flexible, proprietary technology with a cultural commitment to personal service to provide customizable property valuation solutions to California's innovation-focused, independent mortgage lenders. Over the last twenty years, the company has evolved into one of the country's largest appraisal management and property valuation solutions providers, serving the retail and wholesale mortgage origination, servicing and investment operations of leading banks, credit unions, and non-bank mortgage lenders across the U.S. through its PropertyRate, Arivs and SettlementOne Valuation divisions.
