We're pleased to share highlights from our recent Kato in Convo webinar:

The Connected Valuation: How data is transforming CRE advice

Valuations sit at the heart of every commercial property decision: influencing deals, financing, and client trust. But how valuers access, interpret, and deliver that insight is changing fast. In this session, Kato’s Mike Avery and Joe Sumray are joined by Alex Kountourides, CEO & Co-founder of Valos (and a former valuer himself), to unpack how automation, real-time comparables, and integrated workflows are redefining modern valuation practice, plus what this means for agencies, landlords, and clients.

Alex shares how Valos was built to solve the daily inefficiencies valuers face, how data and AI are reshaping turnaround times and accuracy, and what today’s tech-enabled valuer looks like in 2025.We also explore the enduring importance of comparables, and how connecting valuation and agency workflows (including a new Kato × Valos integration) creates a more transparent, data-driven CRE ecosystem.

Agenda

• The biggest pressure points in today’s valuation process, and how data, automation, and real-time comparables are helping valuers deliver faster, more accurate outputs.
• The role of AI in valuations: what it can accelerate, what still requires professional judgement, and why data quality and trust matter more than ever.
• How agents and valuers can work more collaboratively by connecting deal data and valuation workflows, via a more connected CRE ecosystem.
• What defines the modern valuer in 2025: data-literate, tech-enabled, and focused on delivering clarity and transparency for clients.
