SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
First American Title Insurance Company, a leading provider of title insurance and settlement services and the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), today announced enhancements to the industry’s first multisite commercial real estate closing transaction solution, a key component within its end-to-end digital platform ClarityFirst^®. Designed to support single commercial transactions encompassing multiple properties across multiple jurisdictions, ClarityFirst’s multisite solution provides customers and other transaction stakeholders the ability to securely upload, view and manage project documents and artifacts for multiple properties within a single platform.

“ClarityFirst’s multisite solution further streamlines and improves the efficiency of even the most complex commercial real estate transaction closings, bringing more speed, certainty and simplicity to the process,” said Jayson Murray, chief product and technology officer at First American’s Direct Title Group. “This industry-first innovation extends First American’s leadership of the digital transformation of our industry and reflects the breakthrough work and deep expertise of our people.”

Seamlessly integrated into the ClarityFirst platform, the multisite solution now allows transaction stakeholders to view and manage portfolio deal closings via the platform dashboard. Customers can review the transaction documentation on various properties in their portfolio in an interactive map or site list format on a single page.

While portfolio transactions can involve thousands of documents and emails, the multisite solution brings simplicity, ease, and organization to the closing process. ClarityFirst acts as a repository for all project documents; customers can easily and securely access all relevant transaction documents, dramatically reducing email traffic and eliminating the need to search through multiple emails or folders.

With more than 82,000 customers signed up to use the platform and over 156,000 commercial transactions closed, ClarityFirst is leading the digital transformation of the commercial title insurance industry, streamlining and securing the closing process, and enhancing the overall transactional experience.
