What is Collateral DNA?

Collateral DNA™ is your key to the most thorough, up-to-date, accurate property information available for the mortgage industry.

This suite of data and analytic products enables you to make the most informed decision possible when assessing collateral value – the number that matters most in today’s volatile real estate market.

Why are data and analytic tools important?

Data is simply another way of saying information, records, or statistics. Analytic is a term used to describe investigative, diagnostic, or reasoned. With FNC’s data and analytic tools, you control the most powerful collateral intelligence in the industry, giving you the foundation you need to ensure regulatory compliance and strong value confidence.

Where does FNC’s data come from?

A data source is only as good as the pool from which it pulls its numbers. At FNC, we are serious about maintaining the nation’s most accurate and up-to-date information source.

Our data is provided by high level, reputable clients who have agreed to share their property-specific appraisal data with FNC after it has been thoroughly reviewed by licensed or certified appraisal professionals.

Valuable data streams in constantly and is shared with FNC clients within days of retrieval. This allows time for all data to undergo a stringent security screen, which ensures that all personal information is removed.

Then, the critical property information is compiled into FNC’s National Collateral Database™, where it is combined with public records, offering you the most thorough, accurate, up-to-date information source available in today’s market.

Build your loan decision on solid facts – FNC’s Collateral DNA.

Everyone knows credit analysis is critical; why is collateral analysis equally important?

Ultimately, the property is what supports the loan. So you need to know one crucial number: the value.

With detailed credit reports, you already know the facts about the borrower. This information allows you to make educated decisions about the risk involved in loaning money to that applicant.

Now, with FNC’s data and analytic tools, you’ll know the facts about the property as well. Why not make the most informed decision possible when calculating the value and risk of the property being considered?

What does Collateral DNA measure?

Our products can examine the full history of the property, including sales and transactions; property characteristics; tax information; neighborhood homogeneity and conformity measures; and details on land use, price, and age.

Comparables can be ranked according to distance from the subject property; age of the sale; or similarity of physical characteristics.

Use CDNA technology to plot your preferred properties on a map for reader-friendly analysis and transfer information directly into appraisal forms for immediate real-world application.

The options are endless: Track median sales prices from quarter to quarter. Define your analysis across any specific geographical level: national, state, county, zip code, or census tract. Evaluate properties across both distressed and non-distressed markets. You can even identify foreclosures and flips with easy-to-spot distressed property flags.

Now’s the time. With Collateral DNA, you own a high-tech solution to the nations’ current mortgage crisis. We provide the tools. You determine the number. That’s value to lend on.
