Redefining Convenience and Professionalism: How Hometown Title Sets the Gold Standard in Title Services
Hometown Title, an eminent player in the property title services industry, has been providing unmatched services since its establishment in September 2019. With offices in Huntsville and Kingwood, Texas, this company continues to deliver superior service, integrity, and professionalism to a wide array of clients. Let’s delve deeper into the journey and values that shape this remarkable company.
In conversation with Casey Crews, Area Manager, and Jennifer Tunstall, Client Relations Representative, we delve into the roots and functioning of Hometown Title. “Our Huntsville office has been actively providing services for over three years, in addition to our main office in Kingwood,” said Casey. She further elaborated on the strategic merger with Fortis Title Group, which expanded their network to 11 offices throughout East Texas.
One key figure behind the company’s success is Jacob L. Richardson, co-founder of Hometown Title, and current Vice President of Fortis Title. With a focus on business development efforts across all Fortis Title locations, Jacob has been instrumental in providing the best possible closing experience for all customers. An East Texas Baptist University graduate with an MBA from Stephen F. Austin State University and a law degree from South Texas College of Law Houston, Jacob’s acumen in business relationships creates extraordinary value for their clients.
Hometown Title’s commitment to client services is reflected in their flexible approach. They offer in-office or mobile closings, catering to commercial, residential, investor, lender, and builder/developer transactions. Their established relationships with six underwriters underscore their commitment to facilitate every transaction on time and hassle-free.
“We primarily ensure properties are free and clear of liens, and sellers have the legitimate rights to sell. We act as third party intermediaries and also manage the end of the transaction,” explains Crews. This is true whether the transaction involves residential land or commercial property and regardless of where it is in Texas.
The company’s Huntsville office was acquired in December 2019, and it officially opened for business at 1515 13th St., Huntsville in January 2020. By March of the same year, they expanded their operations in Kingwood, moving from a leased space on W Lake Houston Parkway to a larger, owned building at the same location after significant renovation.
Client testimonials echo Hometown Title’s commitment to excellence. Residential client Cody Foree lauds the company, saying, “Casey, Summer, & Team are Allstars. I had a cash deal on the table and other title companies in town told me it would be weeks before I could close. I reached out to Casey and they were able to expedite to keep my buyer happy. Proceeds were wired to my account same day. Big thumbs up.” Realtor Kyle Heffron similarly praises their professionalism and customer service.
The warm and welcoming environment in their offices, particularly in the Huntsville branch located in a Sears Catalog Home, indeed sets them apart. Tunstall states, “People frequently tell us how comfortable they feel here.”
At the heart of Hometown Title’s operation is a strong commitment to community involvement. Actively participating in the Chamber of Commerce and providing continuing education courses for local Realtors, they have ingrained themselves within the local community. Tunstall, an active figure in Elkins Lake, underscores the importance of “meeting people and supporting each other.”
Despite the competitive real estate landscape, Hometown Title has positioned itself as a trusted and professional service provider. Their recent expansion and strategic merger have only served to strengthen their capacity to cater to a wider clientele across East Texas. With an unwavering commitment to client satisfaction, community involvement, and maintaining a welcoming office environment, Hometown Title truly stands out in the crowd.
