Investors Title Insurance Company, the precursor to National Investor's parent company, was founded in 1972 by J. Allen Fine.
Mr. Fine successfully raised the funds necessary to capitalize the company and take it public.
Title insurance dates back to the late 1800s, yet the volume of the title insurance written remained low through the early 1970s. That changed dramatically when lenders began to sell their mortgages on the secondary market, a transformative event that Mr. Fine anticipated. As a result of his foresight, Investors Title was established, has successfully expanded into select markets, and consistently maintains above-average profitability despite economic downturns.
