Liberty Title is enjoying a lot of growth in recent years thanks to its emphasis on the local market.
The family owned title company has enjoyed a 300 percent revenue increase since 2007. It has acquired four local real-estate companies in the last year while also enjoying some organic growth by working with local banks on mortgages and refinancing.
"There has been a lot of opportunity in Metro Detroit," says Tom Richardson, CEO & general counsel of
Liberty Title.
That opportunity has allowed the Ann Arbor-based company to expand to 92 employees in 10 branches, stretching from Jackson to Port Huron, including 24 people in Tree Town. It has hired 35 people over the last year for mostly closing, processing and title work positions. It currently has six job openings.
"All of these jobs have a starting salary of $44,000," says Michele Richardson, president of Liberty Title and Tom Richardson's wife.
