Our Team
Elite Title & Escrow, Corp. started in the Brainerd Lakes Area as a corporately owned company in the early 1990’s and was originally known as ATI Title. After several corporate sales and name changes which included Rels Title, Dataquick Title, and Stewart Title, the two long term employees, Shayna McCulloch and Dawn Holmberg were presented with an opportunity in spring of 2015, and decided to purchase the company from Stewart Title. The name changed to Elite Title & Escrow, Corp. and a new locally owned title company started its journey to success. In fall of 2019, Elite Title expanded and opened a second location in downtown Staples.
Every employee in our offices goes above and beyond to successfully complete the closing transactions for our clients. We strive to provide an enjoyable and memorable experience as homeownership is often one of life’s biggest accomplishments. We are diligent from start to finish on all our transactions and our ultimate goal is the happiness and peace of mind for our buyers, sellers, Realtors, Lenders, and Builders.
