We know where
the lines are.

Residential and commercial title insurance and closings across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Florida.

Our records go back to 1854.

Albert G. Knight kept Racine County's original plat maps in a brick vault next to the courthouse. When the courthouse burned in 1861, the county rebuilt its records from his.

More than 170 years later, we still send the county the odd missing document.
