our story – MATT & JAMES
BettaVAL is part of the Betta Group, founded through the shared vision of James Wilson and Matt Mason.
At its heart, BettaVAL exists to deliver superior customer outcomes for users of valuation reports and services, while future-proofing the valuation profession in an ever-changing world.
James and Matt are driven by a deep passion for innovation and a commitment to challenging the status quo. Their goal: to reimagine valuation products, processes, and reporting through a modern, tech-first lens.
James Wilson, a Registered Valuer, brings years of experience providing property valuations and market insights to clients across New Zealand. His background spans traditional valuation roles as well as work within data and technology companies, where he engaged closely with the banking and insurance sectors. This unique perspective has shaped his belief in the evolving role of valuers and the need to adapt their skillsets for the future.
