Auction.com’s Attorney Interact™, a safe and secure way to transmit third party data, starts the new year as a 2025 HousingWire Tech100 Real Estate Award winner. The platform was recognized for its transformative impact on foreclosure data management and security. It significantly advances how attorney foreclosure firms handle sensitive data, offering enhanced security protocols and streamlined workflows.
“This recognition reflects the incredible dedication of our operations, engineering and product teams who worked tirelessly to revolutionize how foreclosure data is managed,” said Varma Penmatsa, Senior Vice President of Product at Auction.com. “Attorney Interact represents our commitment to creating secure, efficient solutions that leverage technology and innovation to address real industry challenges while delivering measurable value to our partners.”
Since its launch in February 2024, Attorney Interact has achieved remarkable market adoption, with over 1,066 accounts onboarded. The platform’s impact is evident in its initial 223% surge in status update activity and its ongoing adoption rate of 152% from July 2024 to December 2024. This encompasses critical actions like cancellations, postponements, and auction clearances.
“Attorney Interact has been a game changer for our team,” one attorney firm partner said. “The system has significantly reduced our reliance on emails.”
The platform addresses key industry challenges through two-factor authentication and state-of-the-art encryption protocols, protecting sensitive transaction data while providing real-time visibility into file submissions and sales status. For mortgage servicers, it delivers unprecedented insights into attorney performance tracking and case progress through comprehensive system reporting.
Attorney Interact’s versatility sets it apart in the industry. Firms using Trustee Web Services API can automatically integrate to exchange updated data, while those with manual processes can eliminate risky email and spreadsheet dependencies. The platform’s efficiency gains are significant, eliminating two to six emails per transaction on average and saving valuable staff time.
“I personally am a fan,” shared another attorney partner. “I like the simplicity of the interface and the ease in which we can cancel or postpone a sale without sending an email. The new document repository is nice to have as well.”
As foreclosure firms face increasing pressure to secure sensitive data while maintaining operational efficiency, Attorney Interact’s recognition underscores its role in modernizing industry practices. The platform continues to evolve through active user feedback, ensuring it meets emerging industry needs while remaining free for Auction.com’s attorney firm partners.
