How is First American Title's free title monitoring different from other monitoring services?
Unlike standalone monitoring products, First American Title's free title monitoring is offered by a trusted title insurance provider. You receive alerts about certain public-record activity, and if a covered title issue arises under your First American Title policy, you have the support of First American Title. Coverage depends on the terms, conditions, exclusions, and endorsements of your policy and may vary by state.

What is this new monitoring service from First American?
It's a free, secure way to help you stay informed about new filings against your property after closing. You can view your title documents, understand your coverage, and receive alerts about new filings–such as deeds, liens, or other activity that could affect your ownership.
Do I have to pay for this protection?
No. This free service is included at no cost when you close your transaction directly through First American Title. There are no subscriptions, fees, or add-ons required.
How do I activate my account?
If your eligible real estate transaction is managed through the First American Transactions Portal, you'll be automatically enrolled in free title monitoring. For other eligible transactions, you'll receive an invitation email after closing. Simply follow the link and log in using your EAGLE ID™ to access your documents and property information.
What kind of alerts will I receive?
You'll receive notifications about new publicly recorded filings on your property—such as deeds, liens, or other voluntary documents. These alerts help you stay aware of changes that could impact your ownership.
How does title monitoring help you stay ahead of real estate fraud?
Property fraud can happen quietly—often through forged signatures, false filings, or unnoticed changes to public records. With First American Title's monitoring alerts, you can be notified when a new deed, lien, or other filing appears on your property so you can act quickly. Monitoring alerts are separate from title insurance coverage, but if a covered title issue arises under your First American Title policy, you have the support of First American Title.

What is title insurance and why do I need it?

What is title insurance and why do I need it?

“Title” is the legal right to use or own property and title insurance protects you from legal challenges to your title. It’s different from homeowners insurance, which protects against future property damage that may be caused by an event like a storm or fire. Title insurance safeguards your property from hidden problems with your ownership that may be lurking in the property’s past.
