Former Realtor.com VP joins Class Valuation

Class Valuation has added Vijay Taneja to its leadership team as chief data scientist to enhance the company’s collateral risk analysis platform.

Taneja has 20 years of experience in top-down data architecture and strategy. Most recently, he served as vice president at Realtor.com, where he also held various senior leadership roles at the data engineering department for seven years.

“At Class Valuation, we believe our computer vision and innovative technology suite will change the way data is utilized in our industry, going much further than traditional collateral risk and valuation models,” Class Valuation Chief Executive Office Mike Detwiler said. “By bringing Vijay on board, we will become far more sophisticated in how we think about differences in properties, running powerful analytics against a broader, more holistic data set.”

“Spending the past several years in the real estate industry, I have seen firsthand how data can be harnessed for home value analysis,” said Taneja. “No one has considered real-time data and advanced technology to create true machine learning tools that drive accuracy. Class Valuation is the only company thinking about the bigger picture, and I look forward to being a part of bringing that picture to life.”
