Chicago, IL – June 19, 2024 – Leading title and escrow provider Near North Title Group has acquired Faribault, Minnesota-based NorthStar Title Group, LLC (NST) in a move that enhances Near North’s Minnesota footprint of 13 offices and aligns with its growth strategy. The addition of NST to Near North’s platform provides NST’s southern Minnesota lender, realtor and attorney customers with additional title and escrow service capabilities, supported by Near North’s national platform.
Near North’s operations have grown continuously from both organic growth as well as strategic acquisitions, with its presence in Minnesota stemming from Near North’s acquisition of Doma’s Midwest retail operations in 2023. Near North’s Minnesota operations trace their roots back to Title Protection, Inc., founded in 1990 in LeCenter, MN. “When the opportunity to acquire NST presented itself, Near North was excited to create the partnership and extend its Minnesota reach. The integration of NST’s team into Near North’s operations represents an important development opportunity to provide increased service offerings throughout Minnesota where we partner with and protect our customers”, said Near North’s CEO, Daniel Fowler. NST’s CEO Jake Piller said, “we are eager to join Near North Title Group’s national network and look forward to its staff’s deep bench of expertise to provide our existing clients with increased capabilities.”
NST’s staff will continue operating in its current Faribault location, uniting NST and Near North’s top title personnel in the region.
