Is the FinCEN RRE Rule dead? Not at all.

While currently not being enforced, the rule has been struck down by one federal judge and supported by another. Now, the American Land Title Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other business groups have weighed in to support Fidelity National Financial’s legal fight against the rule.

Here’s where things stand in a battle that carries deep significance for the title & escrow industry: https://blog.qualia.com/alta-u-s-chamber-and-other-business-groups-file-briefs-backing-fidelitys-fincen-appeal/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organicsocial&utm_campaign=blog%e2%80%94fincenlegalbriefs%e2%80%94fy26q3&utm_term=blank&utm_content=post

Congratulations to Kriti Rajput, Associate General Counsel at Qualia, on being named the recipient of The Bar Association of San Francisco's 2026 Innovation in Law Award!

This award celebrates a professional who has pioneered innovative practices, processes, or technologies within their organization or the legal profession. That certainly describes Kriti.

At Qualia, she’s built scalable legal infrastructure, including AI-integrated workflows, that helps the legal team propel our business forward.

“There are many lawyers discussing AI in 2026,” said Kevin Benedicto, Founding Partner of Benedicto & Simonovich LLP, who nominated Kriti for the award. “There are fewer who have built operational legal workflows around it, helped govern its implementation, advised on AI products, and translated those lessons back into the broader legal community. Kriti has done all of those things.”

BASF honored Kriti and other winners at its recent In-House Counsel Awards. We're incredibly proud to have her on our team. Congrats again, Kriti!

True story: A fraudster impersonated a property owner, and the title & escrow firm sent the seller's proceeds out on wire. Before long, the firm had every dollar back. A miracle? No: Qualia Fraud Recovery Service (Qualia FRS).

Since launching a year ago, Qualia FRS has helped title & escrow companies recover funds stolen through wire fraud, at no extra cost to all Qualia Core customers. Many individual recovery cases exceed $1 million in recovered funds.

Our new blog has the story of one complicated recovery case, and insights on why a fast, coordinated response is more essential than ever for full fund recovery when fraud strikes.

40 hours. An entire standard workweek. That's how much time the team at Cardinal Title Group started gaining back per month this summer.

The time savings freed up capacity, allowing the title & escrow agency to triple closing volume, all while making every transaction more secure than ever.

Was it magic? A surge in hiring? Nope: It was Qualia Shield.

Our new case study has the details. See how having a wire fraud prevention solution that's built into your system of record and that runs verifications automatically can help your team grow volume and reduce fraud risk at the same time.

Thanks to the California Center for Real Estate and NBC’s Scott Budman for having our Vice President of Product & Design Charlotte Brown join a panel of experts to discuss AI in real estate this week.

AI is evolving fast. What came through in the discussion was how hard this is to track when developing AI isn't your day job. To help answer some of those questions, Charlotte shared practical advice during the panel (which NBC Bay Area covered in a segment):

•Vetting software vendors is part of the job now. Given how quickly software can be built, it can be the wild west out there. But it doesn't have to be. There are ways to tell who has the infrastructure to keep you and your clients secure. Ask any provider what they're audited against (e.g. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ALTA Best Practices Pillar 3).

•Not all AI is created equal. A general chatbot doesn't know your files or your industry. It doesn't have the context a real estate transaction requires. Look for AI built for your work, inside the system your team already uses.

•The human relationship is still the point. Two things can be true at once. You expect your doctor to use AI. But, you don't want an AI instead of your doctor. Real estate is no different. You'll be expected to use good tools, and valued for being the person your clients can actually talk to.

A special thank you to Maximillian Diez of Twenty Five Ventures and Nina Dosanjh of Vanguard Properties for sharing their expertise as panelists along with Charlotte, and to CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS President Tamara Suminski for emceeing!
