Rapid Legal and Vesting Report Honored with Prestigious Stevie® Award

HousingWire’s 2020 Tech Trendsetters include product and technology leaders who have been indispensable in bringing innovative tech solutions to market for housing industry clients. This award recognizes the people that drive innovation for their mortgage and real estate clients.

Recently, First American Data & Analytics was proud to be recognized as a Gold Stevie Award winner in the 19th annual Stevie Awards program. Specifically, our Rapid Legal and Vesting Report was recognized within Stevie’s American Business Awards technology solutions category and received its award virtually during a live event on June 30th.


The Stevies are the U.S.A.’s premier business awards program. This year over 12,000 entries from organizations in more than 70 nations for one of eight categories were submitted. Specifically, over 3800 entries – a new record – were submitted for the American Business Awards. The awards honor organizations of all types and sizes and the people behind them, for outstanding performances in the workplace worldwide.

Our Rapid Legal and Vesting Report was recognized as a Gold Award winner for supporting lenders by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and optical character recognition (OCR) to drive workflow improvements through a single aggregation report. The mortgage industry faces an ongoing challenge, especially in a high-volume market to create instant and accurate access to legal and vesting descriptions. This information is a critical need for loan modifications, assignments, release and partial claims.

For newly originated loans, lenders and their tax service providers use our legal description to set up new tax lines and to monitor for taxes & escrow. Our report provides an instant, dependable and accurate legal description to be sure the correct property is being monitored. Our geo-coverage spans close to 1000 counties, representing over 70% of the country’s properties. The report, which also can be provided in batch format, is delivered both through our application and API for the legal description to be inserted wherever the lender needs it with less effort and the highest assurance of accuracy.
