Near North Title Group Acquires NorthStar Title
June 25, 2024
Chicago-based Near North Title Group has acquired NorthStar Title Group, LLC (NST) in a move that enhances Near North’s footprint in Minnesota footprint of 13 offices. The acquisition provides NST’s southern Minnesota lender, Realtor and attorney customers with additional title and escrow service capabilities, supported by Near North’s national platform.
Near North’s operations have grown continuously from both organic growth as well as strategic acquisitions. In 2023, Near North acquired Doma’s Midwest retail operations. Near North’s Minnesota operations trace their roots back to Title Protection Inc., founded in 1990 in LeCenter.
“When the opportunity to acquire NST presented itself, Near North was excited to create the partnership and extend its Minnesota reach,” said Near North CEO Daniel Fowler. “The integration of NST’s team into Near North’s operations represents an important development opportunity to provide increased service offerings throughout Minnesota where we partner with and protect our customers.”
NST CEO Jake Piller, added, “we are eager to join Near North Title Group’s national network and look forward to its staff’s deep bench of expertise to provide our existing clients with increased capabilities.”
NST’s staff will continue operating in its office in Faribault, Minn.
