Foreclosure Data Publishing vs. Foreclosure Data Aggregation

Many people are confused by the sheer number of internet websites offering “foreclosure listings.” Is this information different? What makes one site’s pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, or REO data better than another? At Foreclosure Trackers, we take pride in being able to answer these questions for you. Once you understand how foreclosure data works in this industry, you'll know what a value an FTI membership is.

The majority of foreclosure sites are referred to as “data publishers.” It sounds like a good title, but it's definitely not good for the end user of these websites. Data publishers take information they get from somewhere else, and they upload it to their site. Often, the organizations selling these fly-by-night companies their information also sell their foreclosure listings to dozens of other sites, too. What we're seeing right now are a lot of “clone” sites. Past their pretty home page, the property listings are often identical between websites. These publishers aren't adding anything new or verifying their content for accuracy—they buy it, and up it goes.

This wouldn't be such a bad thing if the property information itself were accurate, timely, or complete, but it's not profitable for these companies to review their data before they upload it. Often, their foreclosure information is weeks old by the time users can access it, and in a fast-moving market, that's simply not acceptable. We quickly came to the conclusion that if we wanted the job done right, we had to do it ourselves.

Data Publisher

With an FTI membership, you have the confidence of knowing that your information is days old —
not months.

The strength of our foreclosure data comes from the fact that we process and aggregate it ourselves, unlike our competitors, who merely publish incomplete foreclosure data. With an FTI membership, you have the confidence of knowing that your information is days old—not months. We also make it easy to get mortgage lien information, actual property photographs, images of the Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee’s Sale, and more, as we have made sure it is all in one convenient location. FTI is the only website where you can obtain everything you need to accurately determine a property’s value and make an informed Real Estate purchase decision.

Data Aggregation

FTI is a “data aggregator,” which means that we are the ones collecting this information. Not only do we give our members detailed property information, mortgage liens, delinquent tax information, and an actual property photo with their membership, we also offer discounted rates for BPOs, Title Reports, and other professional services. We're committed to full data disclosure, too: this means that we'll tell you exactly how old our information is and what our limitations are in bringing any single county’s data to you, among other key details.

Having the best foreclosure data means that you can make stronger and informed purchase decisions, which are the keys to making money in the foreclosure market. We believe that data is too important a thing to let “clone” sites handle—and our members agree.
