We are not asking you to trust us without reason - here are several reasons why you can rest assured that you will make the right decision in trusting First American Exchange Company. And knowing you made the right decision makes everything easier.
 

• First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF) is a leading provider of title insurance and settlement services to the real estate and mortgage industries, that traces its heritage back to 1889. With revenues of  $4.0 billion in 2009, the company offers its products and services directly and through its agents and partners in all 50 states and in more than 60 countries.

• As a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we are governed by the financial reporting and disclosure requirements set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
• We maintain a multimillion-dollar fidelity bond and a professional liability insurance policy from a leading independent insurance underwriter.
