Fidelity National Financial Inc., Jacksonville, Fla., discussed its recently launched DecisionStream product during a press briefing at the Mortgage Bankers Association annual convention in Orlando.According to Al Verkuylen, senior vice president of development and strategy for FNF subsidiary Lender's Services Inc., DecisionStream takes the data from the various parts of FNF and brings them out to the point of sale. This allows originators of refinance and home equity transactions to decide early in the process whether it is worthwhile to invest in the full-scale mortgage settlement package. Another benefit is that with bundled services as part of the origination process, DecisionStream provides guaranteed quotes for settlement services, he said, allowing originators to give a definitive price to their customer. With Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act reform expected to include a guaranteed mortgage package, this is a benefit, Mr. Verkuylen said.
