The VeroVALUE Suite

Veros has designed a family of AVMs that comprise the VeroVALUE AVM Suite. These automated valuations are designed to weigh accuracy against hit rate, allowing you to create the balance you need in a single AVM or in a cascade approach.

VeroVALUE Preferred

VeroVALUE Preferred balances valuation accuracy and hit rate with a more stringent focus on accuracy. VeroVALUE Preferred takes VeroVALUE, the premier national valuation tool one step further, boosting its proprietary optimization techniques, tight valuation controls, and data-rich intelligence about local market activity, with strict standards on market activity, neighborhood analysis, and usable hit rates.

When accuracy is the priority over hit rates, VeroVALUE Preferred is unmatched. As a result, it is commonly used in the first position in a multiple-AVM cascade.
