In a market where timing, transparency, and trust are everything, property valuation has remained one of the last strongholds of outdated processes—until now. Enter hovr.me, a fast-scaling Australian platform that’s shaking up the way buyers, investors, accountants, and legal professionals get their properties valued.
Dubbed by some as the “Uber of property valuation”, hovr connects people who need a valuation with the right certified valuer—quickly, digitally, and at a competitive price. What sets it apart isn’t just speed or affordability—it’s the way it brings together human expertise and deep data intelligence, including access to powerful market insights from Domain, one of Australia’s most trusted real estate data providers.
For decades, getting a property valuation has been an inefficient experience: long waits, inconsistent pricing, opaque quality standards, and an over-reliance on local contacts or word-of-mouth referrals. But the Hovr model flips this on its head. Whether you need a fast desktop valuation to monitor your investment equity, an ATO-compliant report for an SMSF audit, or a certified valuation to assist with estate planning or a family law matter, hovr makes the process simple and accessible—from any device, in minutes.
“We built hovr to bring valuations into the modern age,” says Darren Wathen, founder of hovr. “Our users are investors, accountants, legal professionals, even home buyers—people who need trustworthy valuations without the delays and friction. We connect them directly to certified valuers through our marketplace platform and underpin that service with real data from Domain. It’s fast, smart, and reliable.”
At the core of hovr’s accuracy is its access to live market data, powered by Domain. This means that every valuation incorporates real-time information on sales trends, market movement, and property performance within the postcode or suburb. Combined with the input of a certified local valuer—who understands the nuances that data alone can’t detect—hovr delivers a balanced and robust result.
This data-driven approach also allows the platform to offer five unique types of valuation depending on the user’s purpose:
– Basic Valuation – A fast, data-driven estimate based on current market data
– Desktop Valuation – For when you need more detail and postcode-specific insight
– Certified Valuation – Legal-grade, lender-accepted reports
– SMSF Audit Valuation – Fully ATO-compliant reports tailored to SMSF trustees and accountants
– Estate Valuation – Designed to support executors, solicitors, and families handling asset distributions
Each report type has clear pricing, turnaround expectations, and documentation standards. This kind of transparency is a major leap forward from traditional valuation providers.
What makes hovr especially powerful is its ability to scale nationally—without compromising on quality. Much like Uber or Airbnb, hovr acts as a smart middle layer between supply and demand: users needing a valuation are instantly matched with a valuer who is certified, available, and local to the area of the property.
This approach benefits valuers too, many of whom are small businesses or sole operators. hovr gives them access to a steady stream of pre-qualified jobs without the overheads of marketing or admin. The result is a leaner, more efficient marketplace where clients pay less and valuers earn more.
And because the entire process is managed online—from ordering to delivery of the final report—it reduces friction, speeds up turnaround, and brings a whole new level of user experience to the industry.
For savvy property investors, hovr offers a low-cost, high-speed way to regularly check the health of your portfolio. Tracking your equity position, capital growth, or assessing how your property compares to similar homes in the area becomes far easier when valuations can be done as quickly as ordering takeaway.
For accountants and SMSF trustees, hovr ensures your asset valuations are ATO-compliant and professionally documented, reducing audit risks and saving time at EOFY. Legal firms, too, are increasingly turning to the platform for estate, probate, and family law valuations—areas where neutrality, documentation, and speed are essential.
“We’ve seen rapid adoption among accountants who were tired of calling around for quotes,” says Wathen. “Now they can log in, choose the right valuation type, and get a report back in 24–48 hours—often faster.”
In a world increasingly driven by data, speed, and digital access, the property valuation process was long overdue for an upgrade. hovr delivers that upgrade—with simplicity, intelligence, and real value for money.
Whether you’re a buyer, investor, advisor, or solicitor, hovr makes property valuation easier, faster, and smarter. And with trusted data from Domain powering its engine, it’s not just a tech gimmick—it’s the real deal.
