Insights
This strategic acquisition marks a significant vertical integration move for Dream Finders Homes, bringing title insurance operations in-house. The deal provides DFH with several key advantages:
- Direct control over the title insurance process, potentially reducing closing times and costs
- Access to Alliant National's network of 700+ independent agents across 32 states
- Integration of advanced AI-powered fraud detection technology
The acquisition should enhance DFH's operational efficiency and profit margins by capturing title insurance revenue that previously went to third parties. Alliant National's focus on independent agents and technological innovation, particularly their AI-enabled fraud prevention platform, adds significant value to DFH's ecosystem. However, the deal's financial terms and potential impact on earnings aren't disclosed, making it difficult to quantify the immediate value creation.
The integration of Alliant National's proprietary AI-powered fraud detection system represents a significant technological advantage in the real estate transaction space. This customizable platform streamlines operations while providing robust security measures - a important differentiator in today's digital-first real estate environment. The technology stack could potentially be leveraged across DFH's entire operation, improving efficiency and reducing fraud risk across their portfolio. This technological capability could provide DFH with a competitive edge in the homebuilding sector, where digital transformation and security are becoming increasingly important.
Presidio Investors (“PI”) acquired Alliant National in 2018 and has been instrumental in helping the company establish robust internal processes, expand geographic reach, improve operational efficiency, and drive technology innovation.

This unique solution is fully customizable for title agencies and has robust AI-enabled fraud prevention capabilities. Meredith Moss, Chairperson of the Board of Directors, said, “Alliant National has continued to grow market share through top-tier service to title agents, backed by an innovative software platform and cutting-edge application of AI. Dream Finders’ announcement recognizes the value created by Alliant National’s distinctive approach, which prioritizes both relationships and technology.”
Chris Puscasiu, Managing Partner of Presidio, said, “It has been an exciting six-year journey to see Alliant National dramatically increase its footprint and develop tools to scale and to assist its customers. Despite the uncertainty during the pandemic and the recent housing market challenges, the Company’s continued investment in growth enabled it to be recognized as an innovation leader in its space, as this transaction illustrates.“
The relationships developed over almost 20 years with independent title agents have facilitated this exciting transaction. David Sinclair, President & CEO of Alliant National, said, “We are thrilled to become part of the Dream Finders ecosystem and envision an exciting future together. The collaboration of an innovative builder, strong title agency, and the Alliant National underwriting team will promote our long-term success and growth into a national real estate partner.”
