"Partnering with Redfin acceler- ates this mission by elevating floor plans and virtual tours in a consumer-friendly way.

INFORMATIVE RESEARCH ADDS TO ITS CREDIT AND VERIFICATION OFFERINGS T he Work Number Report Indicator from Equifax has been added to Informative Research's array of mortgage credit and verification products. By providing a first-in-mar- ket solution—an Equifax credit report combined with a job status indicator earlier in the mortgage qualification process—the Work Number Report In- dicator provides lenders with increased leverage. The Work Number Report Indicator provides lenders with a comprehensive picture of the borrower early in the pro- cess by alerting them if an applicant has a verification of employment and income (VOIE) record on The Work Number database. Enhanced borrower experi- ence, expedited verification ordering, and more educated lending decisions, are all supported by this additional context. "An early indication that borrower and co-borrower VOIE will be readily available at underwriting helps stream- line decisioning for lenders," said Steve Schulz, EVP of Product Management at Informative Research. "Our full suite of verification solutions is curated to increase operational efficiency and manage overall cost, and we're excited to add this new innovation to further support our clients." Lenders may better match the appropriate verification technique to their loan workflow, according to Infor- mative Research's tiered approach, thus enhancing borrower satisfaction and operational effectiveness. "Collaborating with Informative Research on this offering enables lenders to gain a more complete view of a consumer's financial profile earlier in the lending process," said Joel Rickman, General Manager and SVP for U.S. Mortgage and Verification Services at Equifax. "Bringing The Work Num- ber Report Indicator to more lenders supports increased confidence in early loan assessments and helps drive a more seamless mortgage experience." CLOUDVIRGA DEVELOPS NEW ADMIN PORTAL A n admin portal for Cloudvir- ga's Tropos borrower platform is now publicly accessible, allowing lenders more control over how it functions for both their company and borrowers. Cloudvirga is a Stew- art-owned provider of digital point-of- sale (POS) platforms for lenders. Without the help of developers, lenders may now modify organizational settings, control their brand experience throughout the company structure, per- sonalize loan applications, and modify operational procedures. The admin portal assists lenders in providing more individualized borrower experiences, preserving brand unifor- mity across branches, and reacting to market developments more quickly. To fit their operational structure, admin- istrators can create workflows from scratch or use pre-made settings. With the admin portal, lenders will be able to: • Customize the loan application: Using a drag-and-drop page builder allows users to develop and change application flows in real-time, from adding, modifying and reordering questions and supporting text, to ad- justing question types and required response formats. • Brand the experience: Users can implement color schemes, visual branding, and legal content including privacy policies, to align the borrow- er's experience with business require- ments at every organizational level. • Configure organizational hierarchies: Users have the ability to establish any structure, from corporate level to individual loan officers, with the option for distinct application sites and product experiences tied to subdomain URLs. • Keep legal content current: Allows for the updating of privacy policies, terms of use, disclosures and licens- ing as needed. "A home's layout can make or break whether it's the right fit, and buyers want to have that information up front." —Ariel Dos Santos, SVP of Product and Design, Redfin
