First American Title Insurance Company, a leading
provider of title insurance and settlement services and the largest
subsidiary of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF),
today announced that Justin Lischak Earley, vice president and
chief innovation underwriter, was named among the winners of the
2024 HousingWire Insiders awards. Chosen by HousingWire’s selection
committee, Insiders award winners are real estate professionals who
are crucial to the success of their organizations and the
visionaries driving their organizations to new heights.
“Justin sees how technology and human expertise can combine
forces to accomplish what neither can do alone,” said Phil Sholar,
senior vice president and head of underwriting at First American.
“As part of our efforts to transform underwriting systems, Justin
spearheaded the development of Galileo™, the best-in-industry
platform and toolset for underwriting data, which is helping
underwriters across First American make better, faster coverage
decisions, and, in turn, deliver the certainty and trust needed to
power seamless real estate transactions for our customers.”
Built by underwriters for underwriters, Galileo is a
revolutionary map-based tool that combines data on prior policies,
tax parcels, geographic features, and more into a visual
information hub that empowers underwriters to identify risks and
craft tailored solutions for home buyers and other transaction
participants. Galileo™ was rolled out to all First American
underwriters in late 2023 and has received overwhelmingly positive
reviews across all divisions. According to one user, “Galileo is to
title [insurance] what the wheel is to transportation.”
A well-respected industry thought leader, Earley frequently
shares his perspectives combining his unique expertise in law,
technology, and real estate. Since 2023, Earley has authored an
analysis on generative AI for the American College of Real Estate
Lawyers (ACREL), written on blockchain and real estate for the
non-profit Hoyt Institute, and outlined the differences between
title insurance and attorney-opinion letters for the American Bar
Association, among other research.
“The HousingWire Insiders honorees are the operational leaders
who are the backbones of their organizations — driving innovation
and efficiency, and creating opportunities for their
organizations,” said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. “By
improving user experiences, identifying market opportunities, and
developing efficient processes, these outstanding individuals are
propelling their organizations toward sustained growth and
excellence.”
