“Our acquisition of U.S. Title is about more than simply acquiring a great company in a dynamic market,” said Mike Rubin, president of Shaddock National Holdings. “From the outset we have been blown away by the professionalism, commitmentand culture that has been carefully cultivated within U.S. Title. We are grateful and truly humbled to have the opportunity to partner with such an outstanding team of title professionals.”
