First American Real Estate Solutions, a member of the First American Corp. family of companies, has launched its Lien Release Information Services, a customized data fulfillment service that provides information complying with mandatory mortgage satisfaction reporting and recording laws. The new service enables First American customers to electronically update mortgage records using information abstracted from grant deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, and other premium content compiled by the company in more than 1,370 counties across the country. The service is designed to streamline lien release preparation by matching lenders' files to First American RES's extensive data resources. By appending the company's property information to loan files, the company says lenders can reduce the number of loan files that require data research and realize cost savings. The company's website address is http://www.firstamres.com.
