Help us build the future of home ownership and financial well-being
Founded in 2019, we've been challenging the status quo of the antiquated mortgage servicing industry by developing modern solutions that put homeowners first. We’re a small, ambitious, and humble team. And we’re growing fast.
Our values
These values guide us in everything we do, and we’re looking for more people who embody these values to join our team.
We believe in thinking deeply, making decisions methodically, and precise communication. We expect every decision to come with a clearly explained objective function and a framework for analysis. We believe in taking everybody’s opinions into account and plugging it into the best decision-making apparatus.
Owners take pride in their homes; we bring that mentality to everything we do at Valon. As an owner, you don’t cut corners, serve others, think long term, and do whatever it takes, including (literally!) taking out the trash.
We believe in progress over perfection. It’s important that we execute with quality and iterate quickly. At the same time, we operate in a highly regulated space so we can’t sacrifice excellence for agility.
We practice transparency for our homeowners and each other—we believe the truth and shared context best empower everybody to make the most informed decision. We strive for constant and honest feedback in all directions to promote growth, accountability, knowledge sharing, and diversity of perspective.
