Been with alamode for over 27 years.
My loyalty has just expired.
Anybody have any other suggestions for a good software company?
I'm searching.

This really stinks. Corelogic is buying up appraisal software and AMC’s like crazy. Expect higher prices; less competitive fees. I would switch software, but I’m about ready to retire in a few years and don’t want to deal with it. I’ve used alamode for nearly 17 years. Used ACI before then and switched. So I’m kind of locked in.

It's good time to retire.

Corelogic purchased Landsafe, Bank of America’s AMC.

Corelogic purchased RELS, Wells Fargo’s AMC.

Corelogic purchased Marshall and Swift, our cost manual provider.

Corelogic owns the technology platform utilized by many local MLS boards, including Central Jersey MLS and Trend MLS in my area.

Corelogic now owns the largest provider of residential form software.


They are trying to own the entire real estate data process. Isn't running the MLS platform a conflict of interest with owning an AMC and appraisal software?

It's a good time for an anti-trust investigation.How is this monster in any consumer's interest?

This is just the last piece. Not a surprise from the selling end, so enough about alathat. Not concerned about who is in the counting house.

There is no sunlight in the shadow CoreLogic casts.

... is this horizontal or vertical diversification
