Dan McAlister is the Vice President of Product at Clear Capital, where he spearheads product strategy, innovation, and revenue growth for the company’s industry-leading valuation services. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience at the intersection of real estate valuation and financial technology, Dan’s leadership has earned him prominent industry recognition, including being named a HousingWire Tech Trendsetter and a HousingWire Rising Star.
Dan’s journey with Clear Capital began in 2009. After graduating from the University of Vermont, he packed up his car and moved to Truckee, California, drawn by the bigger mountains and deeper powder of the Sierra Nevada. He joined Clear Capital as a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) Quality Assurance reviewer, quickly developing a passion for the nuances of property valuation. His deep operational knowledge and leadership skills fueled a remarkable trajectory through the company ranks, serving as Team Lead, QA Manager, and BPO Director before transitioning to product management.
Today, Dan bridges the gap between complex valuation data and cutting-edge software. He works cross-functionally across technology, operations, sales, marketing, and legal teams to bring highly reliable, compliance-forward valuation solutions to the mortgage and secondary markets. His unique evolution from a front-line data quality reviewer to an executive product leader gives him an unparalleled perspective on the real-world challenges facing today’s housing industry.
When he isn’t shaping the future of real estate tech, Dan fully embraces the Tahoe lifestyle. You can find him performing across the region with his rock band, Coburn Station, pushing his limits on a mountain bike, or snowboarding the steep lines at Palisades Tahoe.
We’ll keep you in the loop on the latest stories, events, and industry news.
