TROY, MI — Sept. 29, 2023 – Class Valuation is pleased to announce that Jennifer Tossavainen has joined the company as managing director of DataMaster, the gold standard for property data management software. In this role, Tossavainen will oversee DataMaster’s day-to-day operations, implement strategies to enhance efficiency, and build upon the company’s vision to grow a technology platform that modernizes the appraisal space.
Tossavainen joins DataMaster from SaaS research and prospecting platform Metro Market Trends, where she served as general manager.

In her role as managing director of DataMaster, Tossavainen aims to elevate products while also expanding their availability into new markets.
“Being able to highlight some of the existing functionalities and introduce them to new markets is what I’m excited about,” Tossavainen said. “I’m excited about being able to vertically integrate what is happening on the appraisal modernization side with property data collection and adding that to the robust analytics that are available through the DataMaster software.”
Class Valuation’s recent hire demonstrates its commitment to driving appraisal innovation through DataMaster’s platform. DataMaster provides appraisal and real estate professionals with a significant competitive edge by allowing users to import MLS and public records data directly into their appraisal software along with deep analytics driving quality and highly objective appraisal reports.
