Fidelity National Financial acquires Hudson & Marshall
Fidelity National Financial (FNF) announced Monday its acquisition of real-estate auction company Hudson & Marshall (H&M), according to a news release.

The company also announced the launch of ServiceLink Auction, a full service auction platform by ServiceLink – a subsidiary of FNF. The H&M acquisition will empower ServiceLink.

"We continue to seek ways to provide more value-added services to our lender, servicer and real estate agent customers and H&M's auction capabilities can help us do that," said FNF Chairman William P. Foley, II. "Additionally, H&M and ServiceLink can partner to provide a fully integrated auction platform for our default services client base."

ServiceLink Auction will provide complete foreclosure and REO auction services that are fully integrated with the ServiceLink platform.

“With ServiceLink Auction, we are providing a service for our customers who have been looking for auction alternatives,” said ServiceLink CEO Chris Azur. “This service complements our default offerings and allows us to be the single service provider that the industry can count on to provide timely liquidity and optimal market value in the disposition of assets.”
