In its effort to become one of Michigan’s largest and most experienced title- and escrow-services company, Best Homes Title announced today that it has grown with its acquisition of Rochester Hills-based Homeowners Title Agency.
This is the company’s largest Metro Detroit expansion, boosting Best Homes Title to 13 full-service offices across the state. Best Homes Title now has more than 75 employees, including an array of industry veterans in the areas of residential and commercial real estate.
The acquisition became official June 1, said Best Homes Title President Neil Sherman. Homeowners Title Agency owner Phil Campbell will be a key advisor, bringing his decades of experience to Best Homes Title and to his long-time clients during the transition, Sherman said. Eight Homeowners Title Agency employees will continue work from the Rochester Hills location.
Campbell, a real-estate attorney with more than 35 years of experience, founded Homeowners Title Agency in 2004 to provide client-centered real-estate transactions.
“In the past few years, we’ve added offices in Troy, Waterford, Big Rapids and Greenville. Now, we’ve got a presence in Rochester Hills. This not only increases our footprint, but it also increases our residential expertise,” Sherman said. “We will continue to look for new partnerships that are a match for our drive toward top-notch customer service and technical savvy.”
Its industry-leading technology includes Best Homes Title’s Client on Demand service, giving brokers and Realtors online access to documents, as well as its new customer-friendly app.
“Our app allows them to run estimates directly from their phones and send them to their customers. It’s complete interconnectivity and sets a new standard for the marketplace,” Sherman said.
