Valuation Expo 2024 was a spectacular event that gathered valuation professionals from across the nation. As a Silver Sponsor, ACI took an active role in the conference which focused on embracing the superpowers of appraisal professionals. Discussions included artificial intelligence, the new Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae GSE UAD Redesign, cutting-edge technology, data trends, and the nuances of subjective language.

Leading the Charge in Diversity and Appraisal Modernization
During the conference, we engaged extensively with both appraiser and AMC customers. The hot topics? Diversity in the appraisal industry and the modernization of appraisal processes.
We are thrilled to announce that ACI is collaborating with other industry leaders to support initiatives to enhance diversity within the appraisal sector. Our commitment is to ensure a diverse range of perspectives, fostering a more inclusive industry.
One of the key highlights from the recent Expo was ACI’s significant contribution to appraisal modernization. We unveiled a preview of our upcoming software for the new URAR, which offers streamlined workflows designed to elevate efficiency and accuracy, setting a new industry benchmark. Our discussions with appraiser customers were met with enthusiasm for the improved workflow, and there is eager anticipation for the future of appraising.

About Me: I have been with ACI/First American for over 16 years. My journey with ACI has evolved alongside the technological advancements in our software and office practices over the years. I started as an Accounting/Administrative Assistant, then spent most of my career in Billing, and today I support the ACI Sales Team with marketing initiatives.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, and moved to New York for college, where I met my husband. While we miss the hustle and bustle of life in big cities, we appreciate the short commute times and more family moments in Florida with our 3 kids. We still love travelling back “home”, but we also love that we can take quick trips to theme parks or the beach all year round.
TV – The Last of Us, GOT, HOTD, TWD, and Friends on Nick at Nite when I can’t commit to a new show!
Movies – Marvel Movies, Star Wars, Harry Potter, conveniently playing on tv all the time!
Music – The best music is from the 80’s-00’s! My playlists are based on mood not genre. My faves today: Billie Eilish & FINNEAS
Sports – NY Giants, Yankees, Rangers, basketball, and gymnastics because of my girls.
Food – I love all cuisines, but Filipino food brings back good memories of my mom. Also, caramel iced coffees/frappes and cheesecake are my kryptonite!
Hobbies – Full-time chauffeur and cheerleader for my kids’ hobbies, part-time sneaker junkie, and going to theme parks with the family.
Heroes – My Mom: Single Mom + Nurse = a true Super Woman
Measurement of success? Happiness, but most importantly the happiness of my kids.
