The Reno Company That Decided a House Is Just Data Waiting to Be Read
Clear Capital started as a foreclosure-vendor directory run out of Lake Tahoe. Twenty-five years later it valuates homes for Fannie Mae, scans floor plans with a phone, and just took its first-ever outside check from a Chicago buyout shop.
Asteroom
Asteroom turns an ordinary smartphone into a professional 3D virtual tour and property data collection tool. Founded in 2018 by ex-Facebook and Microsoft engineers, the company sells an inexpensive Pano Kit tripod plus an app that lets real estate agents, appraisers, and property managers capture immersive 3D tours, floor plans, and measurements without a $3,000 camera. It has since become a property data collection provider integrated with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Zillow, and Realtor.com, powering appraisal modernization workflows through a national network of trained data collectors.
