LandSafe, the Plano, Texas-based technology subsidiary of Countrywide Financial Corp., is combining its ValueFinder and Frauditor products into a single report that it will make available at the same price previously charged for one of the products."As AVMs become increasingly important to the lending community for pre-qualifying, HELOCs, second mortgages, and portfolio valuation, LandSafe is keeping pace with the demand for more complete information delivered at the highest possible speed," said Michael Faine, LandSafe's managing director, president, and chief operating officer. The new product will return the value, the uncertainty factor, and public record information on the property and comparable properties provided by ValueFinder, as well as Frauditor red flags for possible inflated value, property-type mismatch, or seller mismatch. The product is available through the LandSafe website or via direct XML integration with the customer's loan origination system. LandSafe's website address is http://www.landsafe.com.
