Blend Labs Inc. and Doma Technology LLC announced an expanded partnership to bring Doma’s AI-powered instant title decisioning to more lenders through Blend’s home lending platform.
Lenders using Blend’s flagship Mortgage and Rapid Home Lending solutions can access instant title decisions via Doma’s Upfront Title, embedded into the borrower application flow. The integration creates a fully digital, end-to-end title and closing process that accelerates time to close and enhances the borrower experience.
This expansion responds to growing demand for solutions that make home lending faster and more efficient, while helping borrowers save money as they unlock the value of their home.
By surfacing title decisions early, lenders can identify potential issues sooner by speeding up approvals, reducing fallouts and minimizing manual work. Additionally, the Upfront Title configuration allows lenders to apply title insurance rates that save borrowers 40% to 70% compared to traditional rates.
“Blend is the gold standard when it comes to digital lending experiences, and we could not be more excited to deepen our partnership,” said Max Simkoff, founder and CEO of Doma. “This strategic investment enables us to think even bigger about how we can use technology to remove the friction and frustration from closing a mortgage. We remain incredibly excited to rapidly scale the delivery of Upfront Title through Blend’s powerful platform, bringing our patented, instant title decisioning to more lenders across the country, while delivering meaningful cost savings to borrowers.”
Following Blend’s recently signed agreement to sell its title insurance business to a leading provider, this expanded partnership with Doma highlights the company’s strategic shift toward offering software-driven title solutions through trusted partners, rather than operating those services directly.
“This partnership with Doma reinforces our core focus: delivering innovative, software-driven solutions that create real value for our customers,” said Nima Ghamsari, co-founder and head of Blend. “By leaning into our platform’s scale and partnering with best-in-class technology providers like Doma, we’re able to streamline complex workflows like title and empower our lender partners to move faster, lower costs and deliver a more transparent and modern experience to their borrowers.”
Upfront Title is available today to all Blend customers with a Doma relationship and is already in use by lenders. Broader enhancements to the integration are planned for the second half of 2025.
