SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2017 – First American Mortgage Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF) and leading provider of comprehensive solutions covering the entire residential loan spectrum, has introduced CleanFile Solutions^™ to give mortgage lenders, servicers and investors complete confidence in the quality of their collateral files. Through this offering, clients can rely on the industry’s leading recorded document repository and title experts to handle the meticulous and important task of identifying and curing imperfections, thereby mitigating risk and creating efficiencies.

CleanFile Solutions combines post-closing document management, loan quality control, file perfection, lien release preparation and recording in a single, vertically integrated suite. Features include document retrieval and retention, imaging, assignment preparation, title policy retrieval and replacement.
