How Corelogic Brings Unparalleled Clarity to Property Data

How CoreLogic™ Brings Unparalleled Clarity to Property Data

CoreLogic Integrated Property (CLIP)® ID

Accurate, reliable data is essential. In the property and real estate world, addresses are often the cornerstone of data for property identification. But relying on addresses alone can lead to issues:

  • Not unique: Several properties might share a single base address.

  • Not standardized: Addresses aren’t consistently formatted and can contain typographical errors.

  • Not precise: Geolocational precision, which addresses lack, is especially important for risk assessment.

  • Not there when you need it: A property might not be assigned an actual street name and house number until it’s needed for delivery or mailing.


Address-based data’s shortcomings and inconsistencies multiply as datasets get larger, leading to wasted time and increased costs throughout real estate workflows.

  • Mortgage providers and loan officers may inadvertently cause mistakes and delays in the loan application process — or even erroneous loan approvals — due to address problems.

  • Appraisers can struggle to locate and value a property when using conventional addresses rather than precise location information, adding time and cost to appraisal procedures.

  • Insurers and risk officers can’t accurately assess risks if address information is incorrect, incomplete, or imprecise, which can lead to financial losses for insurers and policyholders.

  • Data scientists, analysts, and IT professionals face data quality and management problems when bringing datasets together based on addresses, wasting time and increasing storage with redundant and siloed data.


Fortunately, there’s an alternative.
