This is the end of our twenty-fourth year in the land title and
escrow business. This period has been one of dramatic change and
growth for our companies. We began business with one office in
Houston, Texas serving a single customer. From that beginning, we
have grown our business to twenty plus offices in ten states,
employing hundreds of title and escrow professionals. We opened
over fifty thousand orders during the last twelve months.
Additionally, we operate one of the largest mortgage land
surveying businesses in Florida. We also operate a prominent
national field services company that serves the property
preservation and REO maintenance needs of our lender customers. We
owe our success to the hard work of our associates and to you, our
loyal friends and customers.
Early in our business life, we
learned that the way to success was to set standards for our
services that are above the norm in the marketplace, and to meet
those standards on a consistent and predictable basis. We
recognized that if we gave our customers an edge by providing
superior title, escrow and surveying services, we would help them
to compete and we would succeed together.
Our future plans emphasize investment in the latest customer
service, technology, and Internet services available to the
industry so as to continually improve our ability to serve you.
Thank you for your support and friendship.
Yours truly,
David Kayton
