Carmen Chu, San Francisco Assessor-Recorder, announced that San Francisco County has begun to electronically record real estate and land use records, partnering with Corporation Service Co (CSC).
“We’re looking forward to collaborating with CSC,” Chu stated. “This partnership will allow us to quickly and economically process even more document recordings.”
CSC is a nationwide provider of commercial and residential real estate document recording solutions in both electronic and paper formats. Formerly known as Ingeo Systems, CSC’s e-recording division pioneered electronic document recording in the U.S. and was recently recognized for its innovations by the 2012 Mortgage Technology Awards. E-recording allows recording offices to reduce costs, eliminate payment errors, receive prompt payment, and increase staff productivity. Document submitters also benefit from shorter wait times, fewer document rejections, faster rejection handling, and more secure transmission of documents.
Mark Rosser, vice president of CSC commented: “Recording paper documents used to mean cutting checks, mailing documents, and waiting for acknowledgements to be returned. With e-recording, you can submit land records for recordation with a few clicks of your mouse, from the comfort of your own office.”
San Francisco County’s partnership with CSC will allow title companies, law firms, financial institutions, and other real estate document submitters to electronically record documents quickly, easily, and securely. Any submitter with a computer, Internet connection and scanner/printer can now e-record with San Francisco County. Documents are in full compliance with federal, state and local laws, as well as industry standards.
