Class Valuation Appoints Tanya Wright To Lead Tpo And Retail

Class Valuation, a real estate appraisal management company, has named Tanya Wright executive vice president of third-party origination (TPO) and distributed retail, the company announced on Wednesday.

Wright will serve on Class Valuation’s operations leadership team and oversee strategy, operations and client success for its broker and distributed retail channels.

She brings more than a decade of experience in mortgage operations and financial technology, with a background in scaling teams and supporting growth across third-party origination, distributed retail and non-delegated correspondent channels.

Most recently, Wright was vice president of non-QM operations at Kind Lending, where she led operational teams and supported business expansion initiatives. She previously held senior leadership roles at Emporium TPO and loanDepot, supporting wholesale and distributed retail operations.

In her new role, Wright will focus on building scalable processes, strengthening service delivery and addressing the needs of lenders operating in varied regional and market environments. Her responsibilities include supporting brokers and distributed retail clients through operational consistency and technology-enabled solutions.

“Tanya’s background uniquely positions her to lead this critical part of our business,” said John Fraas, CEO of Class Valuation. “She brings a lender-side perspective that gives her a deep understanding of what brokers and distributed retail lenders need to succeed. Her ability to build repeatable, scalable processes while maintaining a high standard of service aligns well with our mission and growth strategy.”

Wright said her decision to join Class Valuation was shaped by her prior experience working with the company and its focus on appraisal technology.

“Class Valuation is not only one of the largest AMCs in the country, but also a technology and industry leader. In a market that’s constantly shifting, being on the cutting edge isn’t optional,” Wright said. “My career has focused on rapid growth, building to scale and creating repeatable processes, and Class Valuation is doing exactly that.”
