TL;DR

Velox Valuations has expanded to Western New York with a new franchise appraisal business, led by business partners Dan Han and Thom Oguntoyinbo. The company aims to strategically expand its footprint across the United States, focusing on markets with exceptional entrepreneurial talent.

Dan Han and Thom Oguntoyinbo are business partners spearheading the new Velox Valuations franchise in Buffalo. Oguntoyinbo brings experience in management consulting for Fortune 500 companies and software development, while Han has a background in marketing and digital consulting. Together, their complementary business and technology expertise will support the launch and growth of Velox Valuations across Western New York.

“Western New York has unique, generational properties with a wide range of real estate, which makes appraisal work in the region particularly interesting,” said Oguntoyinbo. “We were looking to invest in a new business, and Velox made the most sense because the company has the right foundation to support us while allowing us to grow our own business. We can’t wait to be a part of the team and support our communities through our work.”

With the new business launch, Han and Oguntoyinbo are growing their team and hiring certified appraisers in the greater New York area.

“With a presence in New York already, we look forward to expanding our services into the Western region of the state and serving new communities,” said Chad Barker, CEO of Velox Valuations. “Dan and Thom bring impressive and complementary business backgrounds that make them a great fit to lead this new franchise and build a team of qualified valuation experts who can provide reliable appraisal services throughout the region.”

Velox Valuations distinguishes itself through its direct approach, connecting certified appraisers with clients without intermediaries. This method ensures that each appraisal is performed with precision, consistency, and accountability. By leveraging advanced digital tools and a streamlined process, Velox Valuations provides fast, reliable, and credible valuations, allowing franchisees to thrive in a competitive market.

The company’s decision to franchise stems from its desire to share its success with certified appraisers across the country, allowing them to scale their businesses under the strength of an established brand. Velox Valuations aims to strategically expand its footprint across the United States, focusing on markets with exceptional entrepreneurial talent. Velox is committed to not just short-term gains but also to creating a legacy for franchisees through sustainable, equity-driven business models.
