Advocus National Title Insurance Company, formerly Attorneys' Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG) is poised for expansion. The new name honors our past, embraces the future, and allows us to expand into other U.S. markets using the same sensibilities that drive our Midwest success.
What sets us apart?
Advocacy. It remains our north star, our guiding principle.
We are committed to our agents, to preserving the attorney's role in real estate transactions, and to protecting consumers in the largest financial transaction of a lifetime.
Over the last 60 years, we've earned a reputation for doing things the right way, supporting our agents without competing with them, and fostering mutually beneficial partnerships.
This distinction is at the heart of the journey we have taken with our lawyer agents: But for this organization, lawyers would be out of the real estate practice and homebuyers and sellers would not benefit from their protection.
Today's lawyers may not remember the threats and don't recognize that many remain.
Advocus will continue to be the most ardent and effective advocate for lawyers. Our priorities remain the same for lawyers and their clients:
Clients
Advocacy
Education
Service Leadership
Real estate lawyers who are concerned about the future of the residential real estate practice should be thinking about joining Advocus. We put you, and the clients we both serve, first.
OUR VALUES
We are committed to our agents, to preserving the attorney's role in real estate transactions, and to protecting consumers with our attention to detail and comprehensive coverage. We support our agents without competing with them, fostering a mutually bene?cial partnership. Additionally, we practice good corporate citizenship by contributing to our communities and adhering to ethical business practices.
When we considered new names for our organization, we considered our past-our humble beginnings, many David and Goliath-like battles, and a rich history of success for nearly 60 years-and stayed focused on the future.
We kept returning to the one thing that sets us apart from other title insurance underwriters: Advocacy. It remains our north star, our guiding principle. 60-YEAR HISTORY OF FINANCIAL STRENGTH.
