FNC, U.S. Property & Appraisal strike alliance

Through a strategic alliance announced Monday, mortgage originators using FNC's CMS collateral information management system will be able to access U.S. Property & Appraisal to order and receive residential appraisal assignments. 

Lenders using the CMS are able to order vendor services automatically based on their business rules, receive completed orders, integrate order data and review received reports for quality control and to prevent fraud. The system aims to create efficiencies and heighten assurance for mortgage originators, while enabling processing staff to apply their expertise to exception cases and avoid redundant tasks, such as data entry.
