Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements CoreLogic, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively "we", "us" or "our"), is a leading property information, analytics and services provider in the United States and Australia. The markets we serve include real estate and mortgage finance, insurance, capital markets, transportation and government. Our clients rely on our data and predictive decision analytics to help identify and manage growth opportunities, improve performance and mitigate risk. We are also a party to several joint ventures that provide products used in connection with loan originations, including title insurance, appraisal services and other settlement services. These joint ventures are reflected as investments in affiliates on our consolidated balance sheets and our share of the income is reflected as equity in earnings of affiliates in our consolidated statements of income. Our condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The 2012 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The principles for interim financial information do not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as amended. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods. Customer Concentration Wells Fargo, N.A. accounted for operating revenues of 11.7% and 10.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and 11.2% and 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revisions The consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included within Note 17 - Guarantor Subsidiaries have been revised to correct the presentation of intercompany revenues and expenses and non-controlling interests. See further discussion in Note 17 - Guarantor Subsidiaries. We assessed the materiality of these revisions on our prior period financial statements in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99 and SAB No. 108, and concluded they were not material to the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition for the current and prior annual or interim period. Escrow Administration Arrangements We administer escrow deposits as a service to our customers in connection with our tax services business. These deposits are maintained in segregated accounts for the benefit of our customers. Escrow deposits totaled $690.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and $228.9 million at December 31, 2012. Because these deposits are held on behalf of our customers, they are not our funds and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Escrow deposits are generally held by the Company for a period of two to five business days and we invest these funds in highly-rated, liquid investments, such as bank deposit products or AAA-rated money market funds. We earn interest income from these investments and bear the risk of any losses. However, we have not historically incurred any investment losses and do not anticipate incurring any future investment losses. As a result, we do not maintain any reserves for losses in value of these investments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance related to release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. This update clarifies that the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income is required for both an entity ceasing to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity and when there is a loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity or a step acquisition involving an equity method investment that is a foreign entity. The updated guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2011 and January 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the presentation of offsetting (netting) assets and liabilities in the financial statements. The guidance requires the disclosure of both gross information and net information on instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This scope would include derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
