National Title & Escrow

What National Title & Escrow does

National Title & Escrow, LLC is a privately held, family-owned title insurance and escrow services company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Dexter, Missouri. The firm provides title searches, title insurance, escrow, and closing services as an integrated single-source offering, with stated emphasis on affordable housing and commercial title work and a standard 48-72 hour turnaround time.

The company operates five physical branch offices — four across the Missouri Bootheel (Dexter, New Madrid, Charleston, Sikeston) and one in Little Rock, Arkansas — and holds title insurance licensing in Arkansas, Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, and Missouri, claiming nationwide service capability despite the limited licensing footprint. It serves four customer segments: realtors, consumers/homebuyers, lenders, and (announced as coming soon) developers. Distribution is sales-led through direct branch service and a self-serve website order form, supported by content marketing via an educational video library, mortgage calculator, and ALTA association membership. Technology consists of the third-party Qualia title production platform and standard website infrastructure.

The business runs on a transaction-fee revenue model across all four service lines (title searches, title insurance, escrow, closing), with pricing quoted per-transaction through direct inquiry and described by the company as 'extremely competitive.' The firm holds agency relationships with major title insurance underwriters (Old Republic, Fidelity National Financial, Stewart Title, WFG) for policy issuance. Ownership and leadership concentrate around the Gill family (Chad Gill as Principal, with Todd Gill and Sam Gill also in partner roles), and no external investment, institutional ownership, or acquisitions are disclosed in the available data.
