Land Title Company of Alabama

What Land Title Company of Alabama does

Land Title Company of Alabama is a privately held title insurance and escrow agency headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, founded in 1951. The company provides owner's and lender's title insurance policies, the ALTA Homeowner's Policy, construction loan policies, information reports, REO and foreclosure reports, chains of title, escrow and disbursement services, closing statement preparation, and 1031 tax deferred exchange coordination. It serves five primary customer segments: realtors, commercial developers, homeowners, lenders, and closing attorneys, with a seven-person commercial department handling large real estate transactions across the state of Alabama.

The company's core technical assets are two in-house title plants covering Jefferson and Shelby counties, which expedite title search and issuance by maintaining proprietary historical property records. Supporting digital tools include the Agent ONE mobile app for land title agents, a Realtor App for client transaction tracking, and a web-based rate calculator for purchase, refinance, residential, and commercial scenarios. The firm distributes services through a direct sales motion: website order forms, phone, and email, with a parallel channel through its closing attorney network.

Revenue is generated entirely on a transaction-based model. Owner's title insurance policies are priced at approximately 0.5% of the property's purchase price, with separate title services fees layered on top. Title insurance rates are filed with insurers and may vary by coverage and transaction complexity. The company has 11-50 employees and combined team experience of 827 years, with over 131 years dedicated specifically to commercial transactions. Leadership is held by the Miller family: William Miller Jr. as CEO and William (Tripp) Miller III as President.

Direct peers

• AmTrust Title Insurance Company: Independent title insurance underwriter issuing owner and lender policies through agency relationships. Comparable as a smaller-scale underwriter competing for similar agent-driven title orders in regional markets, with overlapping product offerings in residential and commercial title.
• Investors Title Company: Smaller publicly traded title insurance underwriter focused on the Southeastern U.S. Comparable as a regional-scale title insurer offering owner and lender policies plus escrow/closing services, with similar product breadth and a similar concentration in select regional markets.
• Title Resources Guaranty Company: Title insurance underwriter focused on independent title agents. Directly comparable as an underwriter partner/competitor for agent-driven title orders in regional markets, with a similar product portfolio of owner, lender, and commercial title policies.
• Westcor Land Title Insurance Company: Mid-size national title underwriter with agency-based distribution. Comparable because it issues title policies through independent title agents in similar markets, competing for the same realtor and attorney-driven order flow that drives Land Title's business.
• WFG National Title Insurance Company: Mid-size national title underwriter with agency operations across multiple states. Comparable as a direct competitor for title insurance orders and escrow services, with similar mid-tier scale and a focus on agency relationships rather than direct-only operations.

Broad incumbents

• First American Financial Corporation: Largest U.S. title insurance underwriter offering national direct title operations, escrow, and lender services. Comparable because Land Title competes against First American's agency/underwriting network for the same Alabama residential and commercial title orders, but operates at far smaller scale and regional scope.
• Old Republic International Corporation: Diversified insurer with a large title insurance segment (Old Republic Title). Comparable as a competing underwriter of title policies serving the same Alabama residential and commercial transactions, but with broader insurance diversification across P&C and specialty lines.
• Fidelity National Financial: National title insurance holding company (Fidelity National Title, Chicago Title, Commonwealth Land Title). Comparable as a direct competitor for residential and commercial title insurance orders in Alabama, but with a national branch footprint and balance sheet that Land Title cannot match.
• Stewart Information Services Corporation: National title insurance underwriter with title agencies across the U.S. Comparable because Stewart issues title policies and competes for the same lender and realtor-driven title orders in Alabama, though it operates at national scale and offers a broader product suite.

Emerging players

• Realogy Title Group (formerly Title Resource Group): Title and escrow services arm of a major residential real estate brokerage network. Comparable because it underwrites and manages title orders for affiliated realtors — directly competing with Land Title for realtor-driven residential title flow in Alabama — but is structurally tied to a national brokerage franchise.
