We love “round table” discussions.

PRIA was created based on the concept that participants from all industry segments come together as equals to openly discuss issues and develop best practices and standards for the industry.

Who we are

PRIA is a place for all participants of the property records industry to come together and openly discuss issues of common concern. Our members include recorders, title and escrow companies, lenders, notary associations, technology companies and industry groups from across the real estate and mortgage industries.

By developing and promoting national standards and best practices for the land records industry, PRIA and its members are playing a leading role in making property transactions faster, safer and more convenient for everyone.

History

In the 1990s, the land records industry found itself at a crossroads. While new technologies and electronic commerce were being adopted across the country, the bulk of the nation’s land records procedures remained mired in paper and old business practices. At the time, there were few standards for document recording, and most recording offices lacked the funding to develop new technologies. Business was frustrated by an inability to get documents recorded quickly and efficiently. Government was frustrated by its inability to improve efficiency and customer service.
