Attom sells legacy company RealtyTrac to Nations Info

Abstract

As part of a business model refocus, Attom Data Solution has sold its RealtyTrac and Homefacts websites to Nations Info. The sale means that Attom is parting with a big piece of its history. Six years ago, as part of the introduction of the Attom Data Warehouse database, it rebranded, taking the Attom Data Solutions name. RealtyTrac "Was integral to fueling our company's growth over the years," said Rob Barber, Attom's CEO, in a press release. "But as the company shifted its focus to data licensing, and our customer base moved from individual consumers and real estate agents to large enterprises, websites like RealtyTrac and Homefacts were no longer closely aligned with our future vision for Attom's growth."Now, Attom can focus 100% on accelerating the growth of its data licensing business. As part of this transaction, Nations Info signed a multi-year agreement to become an Attom data licensing customer. In July 2020, Attom purchased Home Junction, a real estate technology company that creates geographic boundary datasets for neighborhoods, school attendance zones, subdivisions and more.
