Midwest Foothold Strengthens with Expansion into Merrillville Market
CARMEL, IN – October 29, 2021 – Near North Title Group announces the addition of Heartland Title to its existing platform in a move that will bolster its presence and further secure its place as one of the Midwest’s strongest title and escrow agents. This acquisition combines the infrastructure and capabilities of Near North’s industry-leading platform to complement Heartland Title’s established roots in Northwest Indiana.
“This consolidation is part of Near North’s long-term corporate growth strategy to expand into new markets”, said CEO Daniel Fowler, “and represents an important development opportunity to make our services more widely available throughout the state of Indiana and beyond its borders. Adding this Northwest Indiana office to Near North Title Group’s Midwest platform bridges the gap between its central Indiana and Southern Michigan markets.”
Under industry veteran Dan Rohaley’s leadership, Heartland Title has enjoyed longstanding relationships with the top-producing real estate agents in the area. “I have known Near North’s CEO Dan Fowler for several years, said Rohaley, “and given Near North’s reputation in the industry there is no one else I would have partnered with to increase the level of resources and expertise for our clients.”
Heartland will continue operating as before from its Merrillville location, uniting the top title personnel in the region and providing opportunities to extend the reach of its services. With this union, Heartland Title will leverage the technology and infrastructure behind Near North’s 25+ offices and national capabilities. Near North’s operations have grown rapidly in recent years from both organic growth as well as strategic alignments.
