Established 1889

Established in 1889, First American Title has over 100 years of valuable experience providing title service to the real estate industry. First American opened its doors for business in Santa Barbara in 1959. Our first office of 3 people was located downtown on Carrillo Street. In the sixties we moved to 3704 State Street and opened branches in Montecito, Santa Maria and Lompoc. In 1990 First American moved into our current offices at 3780 State Street. We opened our Solvang branch in 1998.

An industry leader in both technology and title, First American Santa Barbara uses a state-of-the-art computerized title plant, as well as automated order tracking and accounting systems. Connecting people and resources, our local network of over 50 computers serves every department in the company. With our connections to the First American Intranet and World Wide Web-we will continue to expand and enhance service to our customers.

We are Committed to our goal of customer service and satisfaction.
