LandAmerica Lawyers Title
“If customers are looking for
financial strength and longevity, then
they really need not look any further
for their title needs,” says Dale Lewis,
President of Land America Lawyers
Title San Antonio.
LandAmerica Lawyers Title has
dedicated itself to providing superior
service to customers in San Antonio
and surrounding counties for 80-plus
years, and, with a proven track record
of financial strength and the facility for
making smooth transactions, it is the
ideal resource for those needing the
coverage required to protect their
investment.
In today’s economic climate,
savvy real estate investors prefer title
insurance underwriters with the assets
and reserves to back the policies they
issue. Lawyers Title Insurance
Corporation is a component of the
LandAmerica family which was named
one of the nation’s most admired companies
by Fortune magazine.
A leading provider of commercial
and residential transaction services,
with corporate assets of over
$3.4 billion and an ever-increasing
national presence, LandAmerica companies
have the flexibility to insure
even the most challenging transactions.
“Growth has been one of our
leading initiatives over the past 10
years,” Lewis says. Recruiting the most
professional, experienced escrow personnel
and title production employees
has largely contributed to the company’s
success. LandAmerica has
increased the size of its previously
existing locations by opening offices in
The Forum, Colonnade, New
Braunfels, Spring Branch and on
Bandera Road. The real proof of the
company’s success is the fact that
LandAmerica Lawyers Title has had
the number one market share in Bexar
County for the past several years, a fact
of which Lewis is extremely proud.
Another area of growth for the
local operation has been its merger
with the Austin Title Production Center
– thereby creating nearly two-dozen
jobs in San Antonio and the capacity to
service four additional counties including
Travis, Williamson, Hays and
Bastrop. Lewis also lauds the company’s
on-site title plant that “dates back
July 15, 2008 REAL ESTATE NEWSLINE 23
to the sovereignty of the state of
Texas” and employs many of the
city’s top plant personel.
To streamline its operation,
all title plant research is
generated and subsequently
maintained in-house. In addition
to processing staff, the plant
employs three full-time attorneys
and a customer service
department to provide efficient
service to builders, realtors,
other lending institutions, and,
of course, the public.
“In order to keep abreast
of industry changes and innovations,
LandAmerica Lawyers
Title offers a variety of training
classes to enable staff to better
serve our customers,” Lewis
advises. Among the most essential
are their new agent training
classes, those regarding gaining a better
understanding of HUD settlement statements,
and how to read and comprehend
title commitments and surveys.
The company also provides title and
closing expertise to national corporations
and third-party relocation companies
in order to facilitate not only the
relocation of executives and upper level
management but recent hires and transfers
as well.
In essence, the company as a
whole delivers innovative business
solutions, cutting-edge business support,
superior customer service and all
the tools and resources needed to
enable LandAmerica Lawyers Title
Dale Lewis, President
customers to succeed.
Lewis says “Obviously, there has
been considerable concern about market
conditions on a national scale and
how this really impacts the San Antonio
market. What we are seeing locally is a
decrease over 2007, which was our second
best year in the history of the real
estate market in San Antonio.”
