FirstClose proudly offers the top flood certification vendors in the industry.

Lenders utilizing the FirstClose platform have access to the databases of the top flood providers in the industry, thereby increasing the probability of receiving an instantaneous determination.

FirstClose utilizes state-of-the-art information
technology and proprietary processes to provide lenders with the best certification services available utilizing our patent-pending “cascading” flood determinations. Similar to cascading AVM’s, this process allows lenders to choose the order in which to cascade their requests to best suit their needs. In areas where an instantaneous determination is not available, a team of professional flood researchers hand map the determination down to the structure to ensure accuracy and compliance.
