First American Title Insurance Co. recently acquired TitleVest Holdings Group LLC, a New York City-based title agency offering title insurance and related services for real property purchase and refinance transactions.
“We’ve worked with TitleVest for years, so we know firsthand that our companies share a common vision to deliver industry-leading service and innovative products to our customers,” said Chris Leavell, chief operating officer of First American Title Insurance Co. “TitleVest is an important addition to the First American family in New York, where our commitment to our customers and our agent partners across the state is strong.”
