PLACE to Acquire Radian’s Title Services

8/18/2026

 
Radian Group announced it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its title business to PLACE, a real estate technology and services platform.
Terms of the deals were not disclosed. The sale is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.

The title companies owned by Radian include Ohio-based underwriter Radian Title Insurance Inc. and Pennsylvania-based Radian Settlement Services Inc. According to ALTA's market share data, Radian Title generated $17 million in title insurance premiums in 2025.

“We are excited to welcome Radian’s real estate services business to PLACE and look forward to the opportunity to bring Radian’s title business into our platform following closing,” said Ben Kinney, Co-Founder and CEO of PLACE. “These businesses bring deep industry expertise, strong customer relationships and complementary capabilities that align well with PLACE’s mission to support real estate professionals, homeowners and institutional clients with technology-enabled services. We look forward to building on the teams’ strong foundation and continuing to deliver value for our customers.”

Radian Group shared plans it intended to sell its title insurance services in an announcement in 2025 about its acquisition of specialty insurer Inigo. This transaction closed in February 2026 for $1.67 billion. In a release, Radian said it decided to sell its title, real estate services and mortgage conduit businesses following a comprehensive strategic review to acquire Inigo. Radian entered the title industry in 2018 when it acquired EnTitle.
​
“These actions mark an important milestone for Radian and reflect continued execution of the strategic plan we announced following our comprehensive strategic review in 2025, which resulted in our acquisition of Inigo,” said Radian Chief Executive Officer Rick Thornberry. “We are proud of the talented teams behind our real estate services and title businesses and the meaningful impact they have created for customers. We believe PLACE is well positioned to build on their success, while Radian focuses fully on executing our strategy as a global multi-line specialty insurer and delivering long-term value for our stockholders.”
