First American Title Named a 2026 HousingWire Tech100 Real Estate Winner

—Recognition highlights the company's AgentNet^® digital platform, which houses the products and services First American title agents value most, including advanced fraud-fighting tools and artificial intelligence capabilities—

First American Title Insurance Company, a leading provider of title insurance and settlement services and the largest subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE:FAF), today announced that it was named by HousingWire as a 2026 Tech100 Real Estate winner. The HousingWire Tech100 awards recognize the most innovative and impactful organizations in housing and the transformative impact these companies have made delivering solutions to address today's most pressing operational and market challenges. First American Title was also named a HousingWire Tech100 winner in 2025.

"Earning this recognition for the second consecutive year represents a powerful affirmation of the innovative solutions we offer to support our title agents," said Stephen Vincini, president of First American Title's Agency Division. "We're committed to constantly evolving to meet the needs of our title agents, so they can deliver the certainty and trust needed to power seamless real estate transactions for their customers and grow their businesses."

First American Title was recognized for its innovative AgentNet^® platform, which launched in late 2024 and has evolved into a full title technology ecosystem for title agents, with new fraud-fighting tools and generative AI capabilities integrated directly into agent workflows. In 2025, First American Title rolled out advanced fraud prevention capabilities inside the AgentNet platform. Real time transaction-based fraud alerts, identity verification, and contact validation work together to surface early, actionable insight, helping title agents detect and stop threats ranging from vacant property theft to AI-enabled seller impersonation.

Earlier in 2025, First American Title also introduced AgentNet Assist—a generative AI powered research assistant embedded directly within the AgentNet platform. Unlike generic AI tools, AgentNet Assist is built on more than 130 years of First American underwriting expertise and proprietary content curated by underwriting professionals.

"The 2026 Tech100 honorees represent the companies pushing housing forward in real, measurable ways," said Sarah Wheeler, editor-in-chief at HousingWire. "They're building technology that solves core industry challenges, from operational efficiency to better consumer experiences, and setting a higher standard for what innovation in housing truly looks like."

Backed by unmatched underwriting assets, fraud intelligence at scale, and decades of trust, AgentNet empowers title agents to work more efficiently, make more informed decisions, and protect transactions with confidence.
