Valuation Expo 2025: A Week of Innovation, Insight, and Impact

Bringing the Industry Together at Valuation Expo 2025

Banks Valuation was proud to sponsor Valuation Expo 2025, the largest gathering of real estate valuation professionals in the United States. The event brought together lenders, appraisers, technology leaders, and policymakers. For four days, Las Vegas became a hub for new ideas, industry updates, and relationship building.

Why We Sponsored

We believe Valuation Expo is more than a conference. It is a catalyst for connection and innovation. That is why we co-sponsored Hitting the High Notes, one of the week’s most popular networking events. We also hosted our own reception, Beyond the Booth: Connecting Over Cocktails, to thank our partners and create space for meaningful conversations outside the conference floor.

Key Takeaways from Valuation Expo 2025

1. AI and Automation Are Here to Stay
   Artificial intelligence and automation dominated the discussion. The clear message was that technology should support appraisers, not replace them. “The smartest firms are using tech to reduce admin time so appraisers can focus on actual analysis,” one panelist said. We agree completely.

2. Demand for Data Transparency
   Lenders are asking sharper questions and expecting stronger answers. That means firms must deliver real-time insights, clear methods, and quick responses. “Transparency and turn time are no longer negotiable, they are expected,” another speaker emphasized. At Banks Valuation, our platform is built to meet that standard every time.

3. Embracing Regulatory Change
   With changes to UAD and broader modernization efforts underway, staying ahead of policy is critical. The industry is moving fast, and those who adapt will succeed.

4. Leadership on Display
   Our Chief Strategy Officer, Nick Conteduca, joined a panel discussion on Scope of Work and How to Reduce Revision Requests. He spoke alongside Andrew Bough of Class Valuation and Jeff Hogan of Valligent, sharing strategies to help firms set clearer expectations and minimize costly revisions. Nick emphasized that improving communication up front saves time, strengthens trust, and delivers better results for clients. His insights underscored our commitment to leadership and practical solutions.

Building Stronger Partnerships

The real value of Valuation Expo 2025 came in the conversations. On the floor, at networking events, and in one-on-one meetings, our team connected with partners who share our vision of raising the bar for valuation.

By supporting Hitting the High Notes and hosting Beyond the Booth, we were able to show appreciation for our clients while also strengthening ties with peers across the industry. The energy at these events reflected what makes this community so strong: collaboration and trust.
