At First American, they combine the vision to see what's next with the experience to get people there with confidence. For many years, they have delivered certainty and trust to power seamless real estate transactions. They are by a customer's side every step of their journey — leading them from where they are today to all that they can achieve tomorrow. Their primary business is title insurance and settlement services, where they protect ownership rights for both the buyer and the lender—helping to facilitate the seamless exchange of property. People can think of a title search as a background check for real property. They work to uncover and resolve issues that would limit a new buyers right to own the property and to sell it in the future, and they insure against unknown issues or fraud that could show up later. They do this for a variety of property types including all types of residential, commercial, and industrial transactions.
