About FANHD

'High-definition' hazard disclosure?* Other NHD companies report that your property is "within a quarter-mile" of a natural hazard zone...leaving your client to wonder about your professional judgment...
First American Natural Hazard Disclosures (FANHD) is the home of the "hi-def" hazard disclosure.* Our database of digital parcel maps in California exceeds 10 million parcels. We compare the exact property line with the "official" hazard zone boundary -- and we tell you precisely if you're "IN" or "NOT IN" the zone. THAT is a "high-definition" hazard disclosure. It's what the law requires, and no one does it better!

FANHD has combined the “best and brightest” California disclosure companies to become the nation's leading provider of hazard disclosure products and services for the real estate industry. From that foundation, the company now provides the benchmark for professional expertise in disclosure reporting.

Our offices are located in northern and southern California. In 2006, the company consolidated operations in a new headquarters and report production facility at 200 Commerce Boulevard in Irvine, a few miles from the main campus of First American Financial in Santa Ana.

New State-of-the-art Production Center

The center supports a dedicated team of professionals with the tools to deliver the most reliable and comprehensive property disclosure reports in the industry, continuing FANHD's 30-year tradition in this vital real estate service.

 

Data Security -- We take your business seriously!

No disclosure company maintains tighter protection of your and your clients' personal and business information than FANHD. We have to, in order to comply with state and federal financial services laws.

Our production facility's "fail-over" design will support continued operations in the event of earthquake or other types of disasters. Its off-site back-up systems guarantee protection of your report history and legal "paper trail."

FANHD's standards of staff training and certification are unsurpassed in the disclosure industry. They provide extra layers of security to safeguard your confidential business and personal information. The company's procedures and operations comply with all State and Federal laws regulating the financial services industry -- including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (financial services modernization), California Senate Bill 1386 of 2002 (personal information privacy act), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2003 (public company accounting reform and financial data security).

In addition, all FANHD employees have completed courses in business ethics and HUD's Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).

The company's investment in disclosure technology, staff training, customer support, product quality, and data security reflects its commitment to maintain the highest level of service and reliability for real estate professionals and their clients.
