In a number of cases the credit bureaus buy the
data from
lenders or it's included in the agreement for the
lender's
access to reported
data; so the
lender may even
have a contractual incentive
to report in some specified time - frame.
In 2016, HouseCanary made that same
data available
to real estate professionals — now, that same information
lenders had been using
to decide whether or not
to extend a loan, could also be
accessed by a real estate agent working on the front lines with the consumer.
