FirstClose Integrates With Calyx Point

Apr 06, 2020

FirstClose has announced its integration with Calyx Point, and with the integration of the FirstClose ONE platform, Point users will now be able to order instant property reports on credit, flood, valuation, tax and title directly from the Point platform.

“We are always looking for ways to make lenders’ jobs simpler and partnering with Calyx presented a great opportunity to share the benefits of FirstClose ONE,” said Tedd Smith, chief executive officer and co-founder of FirstClose. “We always enjoy working with other innovative companies that recognize the need to constantly be improving efficiencies and we are honored they chose us to help them accomplish that.”

Point users will be able to leverage tools such as FirstClose’s SMART Select, a tool that uses intelligence logic to automatically select the best title vendor within each financial institution’s unique lending footprint. With this integration, users will also have access to FirstClose’s intelligence logic and simplified vendor management, all through one simple user interface.

“When looking for a settlement services provider, FirstClose stood out to us because they provide much more than just settlement services,” said Thomas Hennen, director of strategic partnerships at Calyx. “Their intelligence logic and other technologies made this decision an easy one and we are excited to work with their team.”

FirstClose also recently announced that Joe Dahleen was named senior vice president of strategy and sales, responsible for working with the company’s enterprise sales and product development.
