When picking a partner that you will work with for years, if not decades, it is critical to pick a good one.
Listen to what our clients have to say:
Rockport is a terrific partner, combining Commercial Real Estate acumen with technology excellence to deliver highly effective digital solutions.
All vendors say they want to be your partner. Rockport is unique in their approach as a true partner and team member. They’re engaged, responsive and their focus on ‘service after the sale’, not just getting you to signature, provides long-term value to W&D.
In 2020, we adopted Rockport VAL for DCF analyses and am so glad we did. Very affordable and very capable. I highly recommend it if you need to audit or create DCF analyses.
Rockport VAL’s advanced sensitivity analysis tools have improved our collaborative efforts in analyzing today's risk. We can now efficiently create and share multiple valuation scenarios, reaching a consensus on the investment performance and financial exposure, both in the short and long term. All of this comes with the added benefit of reducing our overall tech spend.
I have been performing discounted cash flow analyses since the 1980’s. In the beginning I used Lotus Notes or Excel, but it was very tedious work. I was relieved when new DCF software became available because it allowed more in-depth modeling. Over the years, DCF software continued to evolve, but the lack of competition was always a concern of mine. That is why I am so excited that our RE Valuation Team is now using Rockport VAL to prepare discounted cash flow analyses, as well as direct capitalization analyses on all property types. This solution is cost-effective, easy to learn, cloud-based and it allows for unlimited sensitivities and scenarios. The training and support offered by Rockport are phenomenal. Our clients are very happy that we are using this software, which is leading to more appraisal opportunities.
Rockport has been an enthusiastic business partner. The system was well designed and intuitive, which allowed us to begin integrating our existing loans immediately. When we asked them to build out additional functionality, they delivered on time and as promised. We look forward to continuing the relationship as we explore additional applications of their product.
Rockport is an absolute joy to work with. You all are gracious, kind, and know your stuff. Thank you for helping us drive our digital transformation.
Without question, Rockport is the best vendor relationship I have experienced. They are experts in their field, but even more importantly they truly listen to their clients. We consider them partners.
Rockport are very happy listening and absorbing information, and then they respond with perceptive solutions. They are incredibly quick to answer any query. But the icing on the cake is that they are calm and fun to work with.
I seldom post comments regarding products or applications. However, with regards to VAL, I highly recommend real estate professionals look into incorporating Rockport’s VAL into their modeling process. VAL is a real Alternative, without all the complexities while providing all the required functionality needed for creating sophisticated projections for all standard property types. Recently, the addition of Hospitality/Lodging capabilities has made this a go-to application for real estate modeling. Also, Rockport has truly great folks working on their support and development staff. Give them a call today. You’ll be glad you did. Oh, and BTW, with their APIs, integration with external applications is really easy - even a non-techie like me can appreciate that.
VAL has become an integral component of our underwriting process as they continue to enhance their tools that allow our team to work seamlessly across their cloud-based platform and our technology-driven underwriting platform.
As a provider of debt and equity capital to the commercial real estate market, we have a choice on what discounted cash flow modeling applications we choose. A few years ago, we made the switch to Rockport's VAL and we are very happy we did. For years it felt like we didn't have a choice and the software we were using was a one-size-fits-all option. Rockport's VAL is easy to use, provides the ability to customize and tailor the product to your needs, and integrates with other platforms and applications. Rockport's VAL is a cutting-edge product that brings discounted cash flow analysis into the modern, cloud-based era.
As a seasoned user of Rockport VAL for over two years, I've consistently been impressed with its performance. Our firm specializes in the appraisal of commercial properties for a diverse clientele, including banks, corporate entities, property investment companies, and pension funds. A significant portion of our work undergoes scrutiny by company auditors. Since integrating Rockport VAL into our processes, I've noticed a substantial reduction in queries from auditors, which speaks volumes about the platform's reliability and accuracy.
VAL has many useful features. However, a standout for me is its template functionality. The ease of locating and cloning previous appraisals within VAL makes annual updates quick & easy. Just a matter of changing dates and adding new values.
Also, the responsiveness of the VAL team to client feedback is outstanding. Their dedication to evolving the platform based on user needs and requests has resulted in frequent releases of new features. These enhancements continually improve an already robust technology, making VAL an invaluable tool in our appraisal toolkit.
If you’re not using Rockport VAL’s CF modeling & valuation software for commercial real estate, you are missing out on a huge opportunity. VAL provides your clients and buyers with economic pro-forma analysis that can materially benefit the sales process - and for the buyer can help them to create a business plan by which they can successfully operate the property.
The software creates amazing reports that are easy to read for investors, lenders, and appraisers. Reports that deliver your story and will get the deal done.
VAL is incredibly user-friendly, with intuitive features that make navigation a breeze. If you ever run into any issues, their videos and help screens will guide you to where you need to go quickly. And if that isn’t enough - their support team is always available and so very helpful.
I can’t speak highly enough about VAL. I am a subscriber and a non-paid enthusiastic supporter.

We just renewed our VAL subscription. VAL is an important tool in our toolbelt. It is user-friendly and flexible. The presentation functions are easy to share within the internal organization or with clients.
