ATTUNE, an all-in-one digital origination platform for banks and credit unions, recently announced a partnership with Equity Valuation Partners (EVP), a provider of real-time, data-driven valuation tools for financial institutions.

Through this partnership, ATTUNE has integrated EVP’s comprehensive property valuation process into its digital origination platform, automating appraisals and streamlining the overall mortgage process, ATTUNE said in a release.

By leveraging EVP’s robust skillset, the ATTUNE platform provides financial institutions with accurate, real-time property data and valuations. With just an address, lenders can instantly access property data, and in many cases automate the entire appraisal process, significantly reducing manual steps.

“ATTUNE’s vision of real-time engagement aligns strongly with EVP’s commitment to making the mortgage process easier,” EVP founder and CEO Drew Watson said in the release. “Our combined platforms enable lenders to close loans faster and more efficiently, and that’s in everyone’s best interests.”

Several financial institutions are already benefiting from EVP’s integration with the ATTUNE platform, seeing reductions in appraisal time and faster closings through this automated solution.

“ATTUNE’s goal is to make the lending process as seamless as possible,” ATTUNE founder and CEO AK Patel said. “With EVP, we’re removing friction from the appraisal process by delivering accurate valuation data directly into the hands of financial institutions. Our clients are experiencing firsthand how this can lead to quicker loan closings and a more efficient mortgage cycle.”
