Black Knight, Inc, that California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS) signed a contract to license the company’s comprehensive, industry-leading public-records property data. CRMLS, the largest subscriber-based multiple listing service (MLS) in the U.S., will leverage Black Knight’s data to provide its members with fast, direct access to an even greater variety of progressive and diverse data solutions.
Black Knight’s nationwide public-records property data, which covers more than 99 percent of U.S. households, delivers the depth, flexibility and quality needed to support numerous business needs. Black Knight collects the majority of its data directly from the source — county tax assessors and recorder offices — enabling the company to apply stringent quality control measures and standardize the information for clients’ ease of use.
CRMLS will license Black Knight’s California public records data, including comprehensive information from tax assessor, deed, mortgage, pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, and assignment and release records. By having this information, CRMLS can build its own data and analytics solutions, empowering members with cost-effective access to critical property intelligence.
“We’re continually focused on developing the solutions that will help our users’ businesses grow and succeed,” said CRMLS Chief Executive Officer Art Carter. “The licensing agreement with Black Knight supports our goal of providing top-quality, broker-centric products, better data access and a greater breadth of analytics for our members.”
