Company History

It has been said that all title insurance companies are the same because most title insurance policies provide the same protections. However, it is important that title policies are provided by a title insurance company with a financially secure underwriter who has a strong claims-paying ability. And since service is what differentiates title companies, it's important to use a title company committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of its customers.

Land Title Guarantee Company is one of the oldest and most successful title insurance companies in Colorado, thanks to their commitment to providing their customers with the best possible title and closing services available.

A brief history...
Over forty years ago on March 1, 1967, Land Title Guarantee Company opened its doors with only five employees. The company now employs nearly 700 and enjoys an excellent reputation as Colorado's premier title insurance agency. John Freyer is its president.

Bill Vollbracht, Land Title's Chairman of the Board, attributes Land Title's success to its employees, who share a people-oriented approach to business and a concern for each individual customer's transaction. Land Title is committed to building long-term relationships with its clients, and most of Land Title's customers are extremely loyal to Land Title because of its employees' willingness to meet and exceed customer expectations.

Financial security
In addition to its unparalleled customer focus, Land Title has the unique ability to issue title policies for four highly rated title insurance underwriters:

Old Republic National Title Insurance Company (formerly known as Minnesota Title) has been Land Title' primary underwriter since 1967. Old Republic was the first underwriter to receive an "A+" rating for claims paying ability by Standard & Poor's and continues to sport an "A+" rating.

In 1994, as a tribute to its financial success, Land Title formed its own underwriting company, Land Title Insurance Corporation, which has received an "A" rating from Demotech for its financial stability.

And in 1996, Land Title Guarantee Company became a policy-issuing agent for Chicago Title Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Chicago Title and Trust, the nation's leading title insurance organization with gross revenues of approximately $1.3 billion. Land Title underwrites most of its metro Denver commercial transactions through Chicago Title.
As of 2003, Land Title now has the ability to write commercial title insurance policies with The Talon Group as an underwriter. Talon is a member of The First American Corporation (NYSE: FAF) family of companies, with revenues of $4.70 billion in 2002.

Colorado presence

With its headquarters in Denver's Cherry Creek district, Land Title Guarantee Company has over 40 office locations throughout Colorado, including 18 in the greater metro area, and adds new locations as often as necessary to meet the needs of growing markets. Full service offices in Fort Collins, Boulder, Castle Rock, Aspen, Colorado Springs, Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, Pueblo, and Vail provide complete title and closing services in counties surrounding those cities. Land Title also has franchise offices in Durango, Dillon, and Breckenridge and in 1997 opened up its first out-of-state operation in the Phoenix, Arizona market.
