Read MoreHide Full Article

RedVision – an affiliate of First American Financial Corporation (FAF - Free Report) – and Qualia recently declared the integration of their respective services. The collaboration between RedVision and Qualia will benefit the clients of both companies and help them enhance their respective service portfolio.

Qualia is a cloud-based settlement software company that provides all-in-one solutions to its clients, which leads to more efficient, faster and seamless closings. The aforesaid integration will help Qualia’s customers to gain access to national property title research solutions through RedVision’s production platform – TitleVision.

The aforesaid deal will also enable Qualia’s clients to simplify order processing as well as production throughout the fifty states. Further, the collaboration will enable Qualia’s agents to receive RedVision’s best-practice nationwide title evidence packages and search solutions. This in turn will help Qualia achieve industry-leading service level agreements without having to deal with multiple vendors and processes for procuring and processing their title search information.

Interestingly, the integration with Qualia will allow RedVision’s users to automate and streamline the property research process through a single interface. This should lower the risk for every transaction. The alliance will not only help RedVision to serve its clients more effectively and efficiently, but also open up more revenue generation opportunities for the First American Financial affiliate. No wonder, the leadership teams at both the companies are optimistic about this collaboration.
