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:

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.

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 that ARGUS® 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 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.

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.

Kevin Miller | Chief Credit Officer
Plum Lending

As a rapidly growing real estate investment firm, we are constantly looking for new tools and technologies that can assist us in efficiently scaling our platform and keeping pace with larger firms. Rockport VAL has been an excellent tool to streamline our property modeling across all property types. It’s almost impossible to deliver a quality product at an affordable price, but VAL does just that and we’ve found it to be highly accretive to our business. Even more impressive is the level of support and communication with their management team, which is comprised of many top-tier real estate investment professionals, who understand the needs of investors and developers. I’d highly recommend VAL to any firm looking to improve their acquisition and underwriting process.

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. Instead of being caught up in levels of assumptions, the transparency of the design allows the user to focus on fundamentals and have confidence the output is reflecting the assumptions and objectives of the exercise. From sizing to underwriting and portfolio management, we depend on VAL throughout the investment evaluation.

Rockport VAL has provided a welcome entry into the CRE financial software realm. The software is user-friendly and the people and support are excellent. We quickly got up to speed on its use and expect to shorten our modelling time. With a measurable return on investment, I anticipate our firm will be using this software for years to come! Well done to the Rockport Team!
