Pylon Partners With Clear Capital to Accelerate Programmatic Originations

Pylon, an API-first mortgage infrastructure platform delivering an entirely new way for businesses to build and scale originations, has announced a partnership with Clear Capital, a leading real estate valuation technology company. This collaboration seamlessly integrates a suite of instant and hybrid property valuation services into Pylon, giving customers immediate access with no additional setup, further contributing to Pylon’s 74% lower cost to originate1 compared to industry average.

Traditional appraisals have long inhibited mortgage automation with a 5–15 day delay in the origination process. For originators, this manual step increases costs and slows decision-making. For borrowers and sellers, it creates friction and risk. Clear Capital’s AI-driven valuation products, including ClearAVM™, Universal Data Collection® (UDC®), Hybrid Appraisal, and Desktop Appraisal expedite approvals, reduce uncertainty, and lower origination costs on more than 120 million addresses across the United States.

With this partnership, Pylon dynamically selects the fastest eligible valuation method on behalf of originators—then automatically orders, tracks, and processes the results. By directly embedding Clear Capital’s product suite, Pylon delivers fully automated workflows while ensuring investor guideline adherence and regulatory compliance. Additionally, Clear Capital’s modern solutions are recognized by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Wall Street liquidity providers that are integrated into Pylon’s platform, ensuring broad acceptance.

“Together with Clear Capital, we’re advancing our mission to rewire mortgage from the ground up and to enable programmatic originations at scale,” said Trent Hedge, CEO of Pylon. “The decision to partner with Clear Capital was obvious due to our shared commitment to API-first product development.”

“We’re excited to bring our valuation products onto the Pylon platform,” said Kenon Chen, EVP, Strategy and Growth at Clear Capital. “This partnership represents an entirely new approach for the mortgage industry—one that emphasizes speed, accuracy, and automation.”
