“We are pleased to bring these two experienced title industry professionals to our Indiana operation,” said Mark M. Leszczynski, president, Northern Region for North American Title Group, the parent company of North American Title Co., in a release. “I have worked side-by-side with Laura through the most challenging years the real estate industry ever faced and no one can compare with her for experience and expertise. She builds trust, loyalty and goodwill better than anyone I know, and always puts her customers, employees and company first.
“I know that bringing Jessica on board to handle escrow in this new office – given her considerable knowledge base and skillset – will guarantee superior service for our real estate agent, lender, builder and attorney customers in Whitley County,” Leszczynski added.
Ormsby was a manager in Whitley County for more than 20 years before taking on broader responsibilities as the northeast Indiana area manager for a national underwriter. Baker most recently managed offices in Fort Wayne and Huntington for the same large national title insurer.
“In Whitley County, it is all about being local, providing great service, and the strength of the relationship you have with real estate agents, brokers and lenders,” Ormsby said. “They know our team cares about their transaction and they trust us to get it done in an efficient and accurate manner. We will continue to earn their loyalty one closing at a time.”
The new Whitley County North American Title office is at 155 Diplomat Drive, Suite E, Columbia City, IN 46725. Its phone number is 260-248-5880.
