IRVINE, Calif.— RealtyTrac® (www.realtytrac.com), the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, announced it has closed 54 deals and hired dozens of employees, including multiple data licensing industry veterans, since launching its tax, deed and mortgage data file licensing business in March 2014, when it became one of only three national providers and the first new entrant in the market segment in more than 20 years.

“We are humbled by the industry support we have received over the past year,” said Jamie Moyle, CEO at RealtyTrac.

“While the other two national public record data providers have in the past built a formidable framework around these massive datasets, RealtyTrac has created a whole new game that is unparalleled in the industry.
