     The Registrant will bear all of the foregoing fees and expenses.
 
     The foregoing, except for the Securities and Exchange Commission
registration fee, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. filing
fee and the Nasdaq National Market listing fee, are estimates.
 
ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
 
     The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Registrant
shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and officers
against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain
settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any
suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith
and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or
proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to
have been unlawful.
 
     Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. The enabling
statute provides, however, that liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty,
acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, or
knowing violation of the law, and the unlawful purchase or redemption of stock
or payment of unlawful dividends or the receipt of improper personal benefits
cannot be eliminated or limited in this manner. The Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation includes a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent
permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary
duty.

     (a) EXHIBITS -- See Index to Exhibits.
 
     (b) Financial Statement Schedules are not required.
 
ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions set forth in Item 14, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       As counsel for Realty Information Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), we are familiar with the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1, first filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the
("Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), on
March 24, 1999, as it may be further amended or supplemented (the "Registration
Statement") with respect to the offering (the "Offering") of up to 3,250,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, by the Company and certain
selling stockholders (the "Firm Shares") and up to an additional 487,500 shares
of Common Stock (the "Option Shares") subject to an Underwriters' over-allotment
option. The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are collectively referred to
hereafter as the "Shares."

       In connection with the foregoing, we have examined (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on
February 2, 1998, (ii) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with the
Secretary of State of Delaware on March 13, 1998, (iii) the By-laws of the
Company, (iv) the form of stock certificate for Common Stock of the Company, and
(v) such records of the corporate proceedings of the Company, such certificates
of public officials and such other documents as we deemed necessary to render
this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all
documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and
the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

       Based on such examination and assumptions, we are of the opinion that:

       1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under the
laws of the State of Delaware; and

       2. The Shares have been duly authorized and when sold, issued, and paid
for pursuant to the duly executed Underwriting Agreement (in substantially the
form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement) will be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

       We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us in the Prospectus which is
part of the Registration Statement.

                                            Very truly yours,

                                            SHEA & GARDNER

                                            By: /s/ William R. Galeota
