Matching on Legal Description

Automated matching on legal descriptions is difficult and almost unheard of. Legal descriptions are a common component of real estate data, but unlike names and addresses, they are very free-form and difficult for most database software to search. Even if keywords are picked out, their meaning is lost to most programs.  Legal descriptions however, are 'legally' a unique identifier of a piece of real estate and are therefore important for data processing in the real estate industry.

A few typical legal descriptions:

ARKANSAS HEIGHTS ADDITION BLK 20 LOT 8

LOT 74,RANGE 09,SUB DIV BARRINGTON HIGHLANDS,SECTION 02,TOWNSHIP 42
38-3S-26E GS REGENT PLACE CONDOMINIUM UNIT 111
CASAS ADOBES PARK LOT 434
EDISON HGTS PB 34-86 LOT 8 BLK 4 LOT SIZE 60.000 X 135 OR 20490-0952 06 2002 5
LOT 8, BLOCK 3, HERITAGE PARK SECTION 27, HARRIS COUNTY
LAKEWOOD ESTATES BLK A LOT 3

Accumatch has two special software products, LegalX and Searchlight, that when used together can search a database accurately and thoroughly for a unique property legal description. Searchlight and LegalX matching software enable mortgage companies, title companies, county governments, and many others in the real estate industry to link data that do not share a unique key. They can find parcel numbers for new loans, match clerk records to assessor records, or do title searches, faster, more accurately, and with higher match rates than ever before.

Below are a couple of examples of what Accumatch's matching software can do. In white is the record that needs to be matched to another record on the database, and in blue is the actual matching record from the database. In both cases, the names and addresses either did not match or matched incompletely. However, the subdivisions, lots, blocks, and sections matched, adding greatly to the confidence that the matching records were the correct ones. These examples are oversimplified - much more complexity is involved in the determination of what constitutes a 'good match' - but they help illustrate the concept.
