SAN DIEGO--()--Valcre, the commercial real estate industry’s premier appraisal platform, today announced a $12.7 million Series A funding round led by Avenue Growth Partners with participation from Second Century Ventures. The investment will support rapid team growth and product innovation while deepening Valcre’s commitment to streamlining appraisal workflows throughout the U.S., Canada and Australia.

“Valcre has been a disruptor in the appraisal industry for over half a decade, but the explosion of interest in our offering these past two years have proven that the need is greater than ever for appraisal workflow software,” said Valcre Co-founder and CEO Lucas Rotter. “We are pleased to partner with Avenue Growth Partners and Second Century Ventures to help grow our business, and remain hyper-focused on addressing the pain points of the commercial real estate valuation community. Bootstrapped since inception, we patiently identified the right partners who understood our business and could help us thrive.”

In the past 12 months, Valcre’s products have been used to facilitate more than 50,000 commercial real estate appraisals. Customers value the faster turn times and ability to complete the greatest variety of appraisals in the industry. Since the height of the pandemic, Valcre has experienced nearly a 300 percent increase in recurring revenue.

“Valcre accelerates workflow efficiency across every segment of the commercial real estate appraisal industry - from solopreneurs to many of the biggest names in real estate services,” said Avenue Growth Partners Co-Founding Partner Ryan Russell. “We are proud to support Lucas and Kris’s vision to empower commercial real estate appraisal professionals globally.”

Prior to this funding round, the company had spent six years growing its platform and accumulating the industry’s leading roster of real-estate services clients including Avison Young, Kidder Mathews, Kroll, Apprise by Walker & Dunlop, RSM, CohnReznick, and several hundred others.

“As a specialized VC focused on real estate technology, we have a keen eye for identifying startups solving real problems in specific segments of the market,” said Second Century Ventures (SCV) Managing Partner Dave Garland. “The Valuation & Advisory services market relies heavily on antiquated methods. Created by former appraisers, Valcre’s software uniquely solves their customers’ nuanced pain points. Valcre works with some of the leading appraisal and valuation firms in the industry, further underscoring their position as a market leader. We’re excited to support Valcre’s continued growth.”
