Hey I’m Humza, Founder of Automax 👋

For the last 40 years, my family has been in the appraisal business. Automax first started as internal tooling to automate their manual Excel and report processes. That side project grew to power 3,000+ reports a month for some of the largest appraisal firms nationwide.

While building that out, we realized the root problem wasn’t tools - it was the appraisal workflow itself: subjective, opaque, and built for a workforce with a median age of 62.

With new top down regulation called UAD 3.6 coming in January and reshaping the entire reporting format & data guidelines, appraisals are about to experience its biggest reset in decades with 20% of the workforce retiring and turn times set to expand from the current 5-7 day average to several week long.

Here’s how an Automax appraisal works:

Automax sends a certified inspector to scan the property with our mobile app- LiDAR and CV extract 150+ attributes: dimensions, condition, finishes, layout, and more.

That data feeds into AI Agents trained to follow the appraisal process, which generate a full valuation in under 10 minutes by reconciling market data, selecting and scoring comps, cleaning faulty inputs, and adjusting for subtle market signals (like how an upward-sloping backyard might impact site value uniquely in your neighborhood). A licensed staff appraiser then reviews, edits, and signs the report using Appraisal Copilot- our suite of AI tools for order management and review- interrogating data, tracing comps, and re-running analyses in context.

The result: a fully Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac compliant appraisal, delivered on the same day.
