The First American Corporation, through its family of companies, is the nation's leading provider of business information and related products and services. Its subsidiaries operate within three complementary business segments: title insurance and services, which provides insured information about real property along with technical and software solutions for the real estate industry; real estate information and services, which provides a full menu of products and services that mortgage lenders need to originate, close and service loans; and consumer information and services, which offers a broad range of credit reporting, insurance services and other informational products that operate independent of interest rate and real estate cycles. Each of these business segments leverage First American's advanced technology infrastructure designed to automate production and electronically speed delivery of information across the company's network and directly to its customers.

In May of 2000, the company changed its name to The First American Corporation to more accurately reflect the company's diverse business mix, which includes a number of non-financial services. As the company continues to diversify its businesses and add products and services that operate independent of, or counter to, real estate cycles, it is also aggressively cross marketing its products and services to its growing customer base.

Now well into its second century, First American is still based in Santa Ana, although it recently relocated to its new home office. Its founding family continues to direct operations. Its reputation for excellent work and conscientious service is not only intact, but has been enhanced. As First American grows and diversifies through its family of companies, it continues to leverage the ingenuity of its skilled employees to find innovative ways to create and deliver valuable products and services to its customers.
