First American Company History

First American was founded in 1889 as a small local title insurance company known as Orange County Title Company in Orange County, California. The company began when Orange County split from Los Angeles County and the rural area of Orange County required its own title insurance provider. The company later merged a few years later with the title insurance company in Los Angeles. They continued to operate in this small local capacity until 1960 when their business and services expanded and they changed their name to First American.

First American purchased Great Pacific, which became their Property and Casualty division. In 1999, Great Pacific changed its name to simply First American Property and Casualty. First American is now licensed to sell insurance in all fifty states and has over $8 billion in assets. The company has also expanded its title insurance services, as well as, financial and banking services that it now offers, to several countries worldwide. Executive Chairman, Parker S. Kennedy, and CEO, Dennis J. Gilmore currently lead first American.

First American Reviews

First American has received a rating of A, which is considered excellent, from A.M. Best, the leading rating company for insurance providers. The company has a solid financial base and profit margin.

Another plus for First American is the fact that it has a well-developed website that provides a wealth of information for potential customers, current customers, and investors. It has easy to follow links and a visually pleasing format.

Consumer ratings are much less positive. There were many more negative reviews than positive reviews from current or former First American customers. The overriding complaint voiced in almost all reviews was in regards to the claims process. Reviewer after reviewer talked about how long First American takes to process, pay out claims, and often fights in an attempt not to pay claims that people felt they were entitled to, based on their coverage.
