Blend Labs and Doma Technologies have announced an expanded partnership that will bring Doma’s AI-powered instant title decisioning to more lenders through Blend’s home lending platform.
The integration provides lenders with instant title decisions directly within the borrower application flow, enabling faster closings and potential borrower savings of up to 70% on title costs.
This expanded partnership follows Blend’s recently announced definitive agreement to sell its title insurance business, Title365, to Covius.
The move is aligned with Blend’s broader “Simplify Blend” initiative.
Through this initiative, Blend is evolving into a more focused software company by transitioning away from capital-intensive services and toward strategic platform partnerships.
Doma’s embedded solution is a prime example of this shift: it offers lenders a streamlined title workflow while delivering improved economics and borrower value.
“Blend is the gold standard when it comes to digital lending experiences, and we could not be more excited to deepen our partnership,” says Max Simkoff, founder and CEO of Doma, in a release. “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 definitive 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,” says 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.”
