Santa Ana-based First American Financial Corp. said it’s paying $155 million to buy Interthinx Inc., an Agoura Hills-based provider of mortgage-loan-related data.
The deal to buy the unit of Jersey City, N.J.-based Verisk Analytics Inc. is expected to close by the end of March.
“Our customers have expressed to us a desire for tighter integration between loan origination activities, loan quality verification processes, and title and settlement services,” Dennis Gilmore, chief executive of First American, one of the country’s largest title insurers, said in a news release.
