Salt Lake City, UT and Stamford, CT – Castle Inspection Service, one of the insurance industry’s premier residential inspection providers, and e2Value®, Inc., a leading provider of Insurance-to-Value Internet applications, announced today an agreement to integrate their services. Castle, a division of Overland Solutions, Inc, will add e2Value’s replacement cost valuation solutions to its product offerings for residential inspection clientele nationwide.

Castle and e2Value will leverage technology to integrate each other’s business processes. This system-to-system integration will allow for rapid processing while, consistently returning Castle’s well-known inspection reports.
“Our focus is to be the valuation model of choice – especially for higher valued homes,” said Todd Rissel, CEO of e2Value, Inc. “Our collaboration with Castle provides more carriers with exceptional valuation and inspection options, and thus more ways to meet their strategic objectives.”
