Two Utah family-owned title companies have joined forces. American Secure Title of Morgan has acquired Landmark Title Co., a Salt Lake City-based title agency.
Landmark will continue to operate under the same name, although the two agencies have begun to merge their operations, American Secure said in a release. Clients of both agencies will now be able to do business at any of the two companies’ offices.
Jeff Jensen, former president of Landmark, said, “As I considered my retirement, we were particularly concerned about bringing in someone who was going to be able to continue what we’ve built at Landmark and I feel confident we’ve found that with American Secure. I think it’s going to be great for our clients. They’ll still be able to work with the same staff and close at the same locations they’re accustomed to. But, now the staff will also be able to handle title work and closings throughout Utah with the same level of care our clients are used to at Landmark.”
Chase Phillips, general manager for American Secure, said, “The growth in Utah’s real estate industry right now is wonderful for the entire state and it’s exciting to be involved in that every day. We believe title agencies play a very important role in Utah’s growth and in helping homeowners and developers feel secure when they invest in real estate here. We’re so excited for our American Secure family to grow right along with the rest of the state.”
