Equifax’s Craig Crabtree on how today’s market impacts credit reporting

Today, Clayton welcomes the SVP and GM of Equifax Mortgage and Housing, Craig Crabtree, onto the Housing News podcast. Craig has an incredible background as a mortgage lender, which led him to his career as a GM at Equifax.

Clayton and Craig spend a lot of time talking about different credit data sources — from rent data to utility credit data — which Equifax is currently bringing to market as a new and unique data field that lenders can leverage outside of their traditional credit reporting box. They also go into how Equifax and other credit bureaus are leveraging automation to help lenders be more efficient amid the margin tightening that is happening all across the industry.

The Housing News podcast explores the most important topics happening in mortgage, real estate, and fintech. Each week a new mortgage or real estate executive joins the show to add perspective to the top stories crossing HousingWire’s news desk. Hosted by Clayton Collins and produced by the HW Media team.
