Valuation Analyst
About The Position
Valuation Analyst Help us underwrite faster and smarter — where appraisal expertise meets AI. About New Silver New Silver is a tech-enabled private lender financing fix-and-flip, DSCR rental, bridge, and ground-up construction loans for real estate investors across the U.S. We pair data and AI with high-touch service to deliver the fastest approvals in the industry — without sacrificing credit discipline. We are a two-time Inc. Magazine Regionals Award winner, headquartered in West Hartford, CT, with a global team. Our motto: Financing Outside The Box. The Role We are hiring a Valuation Analyst to own the property valuation function across our bridge, fix-and-flip, DSCR, and construction loan products. You will review residential appraisals, validate values against the market, push back on appraisers when the numbers do not hold up, and help structure loans that fit our credit box. This is not a traditional underwriting seat. You will be the person who decides whether the collateral story is real — and you will use AI and modern valuation tools to do it faster than anyone else in the industry.

- Strong command of residential appraisal methodology and valuation principles
- Hands-on experience with MLS, HouseCanary (or similar AVM/valuation platforms), and county records
- Comfort working with AI tools, automation platforms, or data workflows — or genuine excitement to learn
- Sharp analytical instincts, attention to detail, and the confidence to push back on an appraiser when the file warrants it
- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets
- Located within driving distance of West Hartford, CT for periodic in-person collaboration
