WealthPoint's Newest Addition - Fidelity Data Services

As you may have heard, we are now using Fidelity Data Services for real estate searches in WealthPoint. What you might not have heard is what is Fidelity and why did we feel Fidelity was the best choice for you?

Let's tackle the "what" first. What is Fidelity?

Fidelity Data Services (FIS Data Services) is the #1 provider of integrated real estate and property data and analytics solutions to mortgage lenders as well as the leading provider of data and technology to the banking industry. FIS utilizes the largest property database in the U.S.which includes over 94% of all U.S. property owners to provide unparalleled insight into trends and behaviors that drive real estate investment strategies.  Through FIS Data Services, Target Analytics exclusively provides estimated property value and confidence level data to its nonprofit clients.

Now the "why." Why did we feel Fidelity was the best choice for you?

Over the last eight months many of you let us know that you experienced difficulty viewing and making decisions with real estate data due to the multiple assessment, mortgage and deed records returned for individual properties. This feedback brought us to action and let us know that we needed to work to provide the best real estate solution for you, our clients. Our research and testing led us to Fidelity.

Our use of Fidelity Data Services for real estate really is the best of both worlds for our clients! In addition to providing all of the benefits you've always gotten from our real estate data and resolving the difficulties previously experienced, Fidelity also provides us with some additional benefits. 

  • 75 additional counties of data, increasing our geographic coverage
  • Address only matches for www.wealthpoint.com are now available on property address or owner mailing addresses.
  • Stand-alone mortgage, deed and assessment information rolls up to a single property line, ensuring ease of use for our researchers

We hope you are as excited and happy as we are about the move to Fidelity Data Services! Happy Prospecting!
