SANTA ANA, CA-First American Title Insurance Co. has released a mobile version of the myFirstAm application for Android. As GlobeSt.com reported last week, the firm recently released the commercial real estate version of myFirstAm, a Web portal designed to streamline processes through the provision of title-order information, property data and other tools and resources involved in completing a commercial real estate transaction.

The primary feature of the portal, which can be accessed online at www.myFirstAm.com, is that it brings together three of First American's technologies—EaglePro Classic, EaglePro2 and FASTWeb—into one solution. In addition, a new title and escrow order view provides instant access to important file details, and a progressive polygon map farming tool utilizes satellite mapping technology to help users locate multiple properties.

From the  app, users may check title and escrow order status; review transaction documents; place customer-service requests; calculate estimated title-insurance and closing fees; generate a property search based on current location or address; access recently viewed property searches; plot comparable sales on an aerial map; email property reports; view transaction history, including foreclosure activity; and access property data such as legal descriptions, parcel and tract information, tax information, property characteristics, transaction history, comparable sales, recorded documents and plat maps.

According to Larry Godec, chief information officer for First American Title, “The myFirstAm app for Android expands options for those who need to access property information and track title and escrow status when they are away from the office. We understand that those in the real estate industry need mobile access in order to provide buyers with the information they need when they need it, where they need it, whether it is in the office or in the field.”

The Android version of the app is available in the Google Play store. Android is a trademark of Google Inc.
