Greater Indiana Title Company

What Greater Indiana Title Company does

Greater Indiana Title Company (GIT) is a privately held title insurance and settlement services firm operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Greater Illinois Title Company under the Stewart Title brand. Headquartered in Merrillville, Indiana, with additional offices in Valparaiso, Schererville, and Hammond, the company serves residential and commercial real estate transactions across Northwest Indiana and, through its parent and sister entities, in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Florida. GIT issues owners and lenders title insurance policies underwritten by Stewart Title and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company, and earns transaction-based fees on title insurance premiums, escrow and settlement services, title and lien searches, and construction escrow disbursement.

The company's product portfolio spans residential purchase and refinance title orders, a home equity / junior loan policy (capped at $130,000 in coverage), commercial purchase title orders, and search-only products such as ownership, tax, judgment, and foreclosure reports. Service modules extend into construction title services with mechanic lien waiver examinations, REO/foreclosure disposition, lender escrow support, and a National Title Services Group (NTSG) that coordinates multi-state commercial and construction closings through a single point of contact. GIT is an approved HUD Buyer Select settlement services provider in Lake and Porter Counties, and maintains an active channel through the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of Realtors and the Home Builders Association of Northwest Indiana.

Operationally, GIT distributes through direct office sales, an online order portal, and channel partnerships with agents, lenders, and builders. Its digital stack includes GIT Connect (a 24/7 mobile/web transaction status and document portal), ZOCCAM (a DocuSign-integrated mobile app for digital earnest money and purchase agreements), and a TRID Rate Calculator covering Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Leadership comprises Division President Dawn Parmelee Efflandt and Senior Executive Vice President Charles K. Papp, with the company operating as part of a multi-state title agency network under Greater Illinois Title Company rather than as a standalone, capital-raising entity.
