Company grows North Texas presence by joining forces with respected industry mainstay

Stewart Title today announced the acquisition of a majority interest in Rattikin Title Company. Based in Fort Worth, Rattikin is one of the oldest and largest title agencies in Texas, servicing commercial and residential customers across the state for more than 80 years. The acquisition joins two of the most well-known brands in title insurance in Texas and renews a shared history between the companies and their founders dating back more than a century.

"The addition of Rattikin Title to our family of companies brings strength to the Stewart operations in the fast-growing North Texas region," said Fred Eppinger, Stewart CEO. "The team’s exceptional group of highly experienced title professionals reflects its reputation for integrity and trust cultivated over many decades."

"Together, we believe this strategic alignment will complement and enhance the Rattikin Title brand," said Nathan Preuit, Senior Division President, Stewart North Texas and Oklahoma divisions. "We're excited to support the Rattikin team in expanding our offering of quality title and escrow services to the Fort Worth and North Texas region."

In a statement from the Rattikin family, siblings Alicia Lindsey, Allyson Grona, Jeff Rattikin and sister-in-law Laura Rattikin remarked, "We are proud of the legacy that our family has built in title insurance over the past 82 years. Since the company’s founding, Rattikin has served as an industry leader throughout the state and nation, widely known and admired for our tradition of excellence. We are confident that the combination with the Stewart family of companies will greatly benefit our employees, customers and local partners, and build upon the local tradition that has long defined our company."
