Poses an interesting question. When the recovery starts (and it will begin at some point) are the four largest remaining VM players going to become the oligarchy through which the lenders will work...or... will they find it more efficient to build their own data bases for services (abstractors, appraisers, signing agent, etc.) .

Sounds like an opportunity for the abstractors to focus on. It would seem that if the abstractors chose to diversify, and offer appraisals*, signing services and title insurance policies* to lenders (in effect mini VM's) at a competitive rate...it may become attractive to the lenders.
