Class Valuation announced that the company has acquired Van Nuys, Calif.-based Landmark Network.
“As we continue to execute our innovation strategy, we will take great interest in those firms that excel in service and reputation in markets we believe in,” Class Valuation CEO, Michael Detwiler, said in a release. “With an impressive list of clients, including a meaningful percentage of the industry’s top reverse mortgage lenders, Landmark has done a fantastic job delivering quality, service, and reverse valuation products backed by innovative technology.
“That’s the kind of specialization and expertise we’re seeking as we continue to expand our footprint,” Detwiler added.
Landmark Network is a leader in real estate valuation with a specialization in the reverse mortgage lending industry. It launched with the vision of providing financial services companies with a superior solution for their appraisal management and technology needs.

There is no doubt that this market will continue to grow and that lenders will require our services.”
