Best-in-Class Solutions via Advanced Data & Tech

Seamlessly integrate our Property Data & Analytics into your chosen platform, providing the flexibility to build a tailored solution that meets your unique business needs and strategic goals.

  • Active Listing Scan closely monitors residential addresses for changes in MLS listing status, alerting lenders to properties that have recently been listed for sale or under contract. Lenders can reach in-market consumers before competitors by identifying those who have listed or are selling their current home and are in-market for a new one.
     
  • AVM Insight uses non-traditional data and multiple valuation methods to produce a data-driven model providing transparency and traceability into how a specific property value was derived. Lenders can easily understand the risk or opportunity of a given asset. 
     
  • Collateral Value Connector is a strategic optimization tool that cascades multiple AVMs to pinpoint the most accurate property value while balancing coverage and cost. To ensure peak performance, our cascade flow is independently calibrated and assessed by Solidifi. This third-party validation utilizes exhaustive testing criteria to determine the optimal AVM selection for every subject property, ensuring a streamlined, compliant workflow that meets both client requirements and federal regulatory guidelines.
     
  • Property Condition Report provides visual verification of a property's physical state to complement digital valuation data. It's a cost-effective alternative to broker price opinions (BPOs) and appraisals often used by lenders to manage risk while maintaining compliance with federal regulatory guidelines.
     
  • Pre-Mover Marketing Leads help identify high-propensity movers before they even hit the market. This helps lenders reach quality prospects ahead of competitors.
     
  • New-Mover/New Homeowner Marketing Leads help lenders reach homeowners at the most lucrative moment in the consumer lifecycle.
     
  • Area Recent Sales Report displays data on up to twenty (20) properties that recently sold in and around a subject property’s neighborhood.
     
  • Property Insights API (Equifax API Portal) enables a comprehensive view of a property with AVM data, lien data, market data, and property data.
