In July 2024, the Appraisal Institute spotlighted Jeff Hogan, Valligent’s Chief Appraiser and Veros’ SVP of Valuations. The video features Jeff’s commitment to revolutionizing the appraisal process by promoting equity and diversity within the industry.
Jeff’s journey began in south central Los Angeles, where his interest in real estate was sparked after his father encountered racial discrimination while attempting to purchase a home. This experience ignited Jeff’s steadfast commitment to refining the appraisal process by reducing home valuation bias and subjectivity. At Veros, Jeff works to utilize analytics tools, alternative evaluation methods, and other procedures to advance appraisal practices. His overarching objective is to align real estate systems to greatly reduce disparities in data and appraiser behaviors. Jeff ensures these systems supplement appraisers, thereby assuring that home valuations are measured in factual evidence.
While we deeply value Jeff’s impactful offerings to Veros and Valligent, his advocacy for diversity in appraisals transcends his professional achievements. His courageous aim is to train a diverse workforce that better mirrors our nation and the communities they serve. This initiative leads to more precise appraisals and clearer explanations of home values. Jeff firmly believes that diversity is pivotal to the industry’s future and is enthusiastic about pioneering this transformative effort.
