Knight Barry Title Acquires Minnesota-based Title One
January 5, 2021
Knight Barry Title announced the acquisition of Title One Inc., which operates six offices in Minnesota.
Title One has offices in Bloomington, Apple Valley, Maple Grove, Ramsey, Roseville and Woodbury. The deal gives Wisconsin-based Knight Barry Title 13 offices throughout Minnesota.
“This is going to help our existing customers, first and foremost, who have deals all around the state and want to stick with one title company to take advantage of the convenience, pricing and service that Knight Barry Title offers,” said Jodi Bach, Knight Barry Title’s Minnesota state manager. “We’re excited to get the Knight Barry Title name out more in Minnesota and keep growing our footprint here, too.”
Title One has been in business since 1992 and is owned by Lance Plummer. Though all staff members are staying on and becoming Knight Barry Title employees, Plummer is exiting the industry after a short transition period. However, he said his customers and employees alike are in great hands going forward.
“Our same team members are still here; they are just going to have much more support and resources. It’s only going to be a better experience for our customers,” Plummer said. “The vision of COO Craig Haskins and CEO Jeff Green is what sold me. Knight Barry Title is a great organization, and they seem to know everything about the industry when it comes to technology and production.”
Knight Barry Title has also named Amy Kemmerer as the Minneapolis regional manager.
“We are a phenomenal company with a well-earned reputation of providing excellent title insurance services,” Kemmerer said. “Bringing the talents of the Title One people together creates a phenomenal team to bring our services to more people.”
In total, Knight Barry Title now has more than 500 employees with 80 offices in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Florida and Texas.
