SoftPro has integrated Black Knight, Inc.’s municipal lien searches into its platform, both companies announced.
Black Knight’s lien searches identify unrecorded liens, county debts, code enforcement violations, waste, water and sewer balances, special assessments, building violations, as well as open and expired permits.
“SoftPro is excited to offer this new integration with Black Knight to make ordering municipal lien searches more efficient for our customers,” SoftPro Chief Customer Officer Patrick Hempen said in a release announcing the integration. “In addition to the time saved by ordering their searches directly through SoftPro, the integration also improves accuracy without the added step of rekeying data.”
Black Knight said the integration eliminates the need for time-consuming phone calls and emails, and improves accuracy through the shared data points.
“We’re glad that SoftPro users can now easily find hidden, unrecorded liens via our municipal lien search,” said Lisa Roessler, vice president, title strategy for Black Knight. “By reducing manual input and allowing the user to stay in the SoftPro application the entire time, the integration not only reduces risk, but also delivers even greater efficiencies to title companies.”
