Watch our new anniversary video

On Friday, we celebrated 30 years of developing solutions and serving the real estate industry. It's a huge milestone and didn't come easy. We weathered the same tumultuous markets and new compliance regulations as our customers, having to adapt every step of the way. We're very proud of the work we've done, and excited for the work ahead of us.

During our company meeting, we premiered this video with memories of our beginnings and a glimpse of what it's like to be here today. We wouldn't be where we are without you, so we also included a message for our customers too:

We also asked our Facebook followers to leave us their favorite a la mode memories and were flooded with responses. Here are some of our favorites:

"My favorite memory is switching to a la mode over 15 years ago and how much easier my work became using the a la mode products. I'm an Elite Member and wouldn't use anything else! Thanks a la mode for making my business thrive!"

"I remember in the early 1990s using the DOS program and waiting on my non-wireless phone for a long time for customer service. How time has changed! Thanks for all you do for appraisers."

"My favorite memory is the Moore tornado and how a la mode so kindly volunteered to help the devastated people — this speaks volumes of the kind of company you are."

"On several occasions I have called in despair and every time received the help that I needed in a timely fashion. Thank you so much!"

"My favorite memory is the Vegas roadshow. Learning what TOTAL could do for me and my business and then bringing that knowledge back to the office and implementing it. Totally awesome. Love a la mode."

My family and I have been using a la mode software since 1993 when we began our company. I remember going to trainings in Orlando when Dave Biggers was still presenting but since the software and support have always been so reliable, I don't really have any stories…and I thank you for that! Happy 30th Anniversary!"
