The Simplifile system also provides county recording offices, settlement agents, and lenders with the opportunity to adopt Simplifile’s collaboration and post-closing tools, which offers them a centralized electronic space to complete the closing transaction.
“County recording offices must work with settlement agents, lenders, and local government offices to perform the complex function of accurately and lawfully documenting property records on behalf of the community,” says Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. “Simplifile’s e-recording platform provides counties with a powerful tool to modernize and streamline the process of recording deeds, titles and other property records. What’s more, those process efficiency gains made by district recording offices are then passed on to homebuyers, settlement agents, realtors and lenders.”
