How Valon Is Rebuilding Mortgage Servicing for the AI Era

Video summary

Valon says its mortgage platform is three times more efficient, helping modernize a $13 trillion market and transfer 4 million loans.

Valon CEO Andrew Wang traces his interest in mortgage servicing from mortgage math at Soros to the pain of reconciling money across outdated systems. Linda Du describes a $13 trillion market still dependent on legacy technology, where incomplete records can leave families without mortgage history and rising insurance or tax costs can trigger stressful payment problems. Valon chose to become a regulated servicer and build its platform from scratch, enduring a three-to-five-year licensing gauntlet and translating federal rules and 50 states’ regulations into software. Running its own loans proved the system and helped Valon reach roughly three times the efficiency of traditional servicing, with 70–80% operating margins. Wang and Du say AI can now coordinate agents for complex, tailored workflows, while continuous evaluations keep models accurate and customer-specific. They also discuss expansion beyond mortgages and Rhythm’s planned transfer of 4 million loans, which they describe as a record-scale move.
