Title Professionals Group

What Title Professionals Group does

Title Professionals Group (legal entity: Title Professionals Group, LTD) is a privately held title and escrow services agency headquartered in Jefferson, Ohio, founded in 1939 and operating continuously in Northeast Ohio for over 85 years. The company provides title insurance, escrow closings, judicial reports for foreclosure proceedings, limited lien searches, and tax and legal property profile reports for residential, commercial, and vacant land transfers and refinances. Title commitments and policies are underwritten by three nationally recognized insurers — Chicago Title Insurance Company, Old Republic National Title Insurance, and First American Title Insurance Company — and premium amounts are regulated by the State of Ohio. The company operates four physical offices in Jefferson, Chardon, Warren, and Canfield, employs approximately 50 people, and serves customers across all 88 Ohio counties.

The company's operational technology stack is built primarily on third-party SaaS platforms. The Qualia-powered digital closing platform centralizes closing documents, provides 24/7 status updates, and enables encrypted messaging between lenders, attorneys, and TPG staff. Supporting integrations include Castle for online earnest money deposits, Twilio for SMS milestone notifications, and TitleCapture for a custom title quote application. Front-end self-serve capabilities include online order placement portals for sale, refinance, construction loan, and 2nd mortgage/home equity transactions, plus e-signing, e-notary, and mobile signing services for anytime/anyplace closings.

Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees: regulated title insurance premiums, closing/settlement fees, limited lien search fees, judicial report fees, and ancillary service charges. The go-to-market combines enterprise-style direct field sales through physical offices with direct-to-consumer online ordering and self-serve quoting. Title Professionals Group is led by three managing partners — Jim Janson, Todd Brainard, and Tim Leehan — with over 88 years of combined title industry experience, and the company remains privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity.
