Simplifile, a leading provider of real estate document collaboration and recording technologies for lenders, settlement agents, and counties, today announced that Wallowa County, Ore., has adopted its e-recording service, making Oregon the eighth state to implement e-recording in each of its counties statewide.
“We’re thrilled to see another state fully embrace e-recording,” said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. “We’re proud of the hard work and relationships we’ve built over the years with all 36 Oregon counties and many of their customers. It’s rewarding to see the impact Simplifile has had on their recording processses, saving them time and money.”
Jackson County was the first Oregon county to adopt e-recording with Simplifile in February 2010. With the addition of Wallowa County this week, all 36 Oregon counties now e-record with Simplifile.
With e-recording available, the clerk’s office is able to electronically receive, stamp, record, and return documents through Simplifile’s system in a matter of minutes, thus reducing documentation and processing errors. The Simplifile system also allows settlement agents to submit recording fees and other recording-related expenses directly through an integrated electronic payment system, eliminating check-writing expenses.
Nationwide, more than 1,744 counties e-record with Simplifile, making it the largest e-recording network in the U.S.
Oregon joins Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, and Massachusetts in offering e-recording statewide through Simplifile.
