Valocity is a property technology (proptech) company that digitises and streamlines the property valuation and mortgage lending process. The company’s main goal is to make property decision-making more sustainable, transparent and efficient by using advanced data and technology. 

History of Valocity 

Valocity began in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2013, founded by Global CEO Carmen Vicelich. The company started with a small team and grew steadily. They reached close to 100 full-time staff within six years. In its early years, the firm expanded organically, building a strong reputation in property technology without outside funding. 

By focusing on simple, digital solutions, Valocity created a cloud-based platform that connected valuers, brokers, lenders, insurers and home buyers. This platform now helps people in over 2,700 cities, including major markets in New Zealand, Australia, India and Asia. Their technology has made home buying easier, even for unbanked communities in India, supporting the goal of ‘housing for all’. 

Valocity’s achievements have been recognised worldwide, winning awards along the way. The company’s platform has supported nearly $2 trillion in lending decisions and continues to set the standard for digital property valuation. In 2021, Valocity formed a key partnership with a major investor to help it grow further and maintain its place as a leader in the industry.
