Settlement company Highland Title + Escrow announced the opening of a new office in Herndon, Va., to meet the growing demand for services in northern Virginia. It is the company’s 16th location in the area.
Highland Title + Escrow changed its staffing structure and expansion plan after real estate needs shifted during the pandemic, according to Highland President and Chief Counsel Mike McFarlane. The company said its focus on innovation and technology allows their team to obtain signatures, record documents and handle funds no matter where the settlement takes place, he said.
“We took a fresh look and reallocated employees to strategic locations to allow us to be nimble and continue to provide convenient and safe settlements for clients,” McFarlane said in a release.
The new office is in historic downtown Herndon.
“After working in northern Virginia for over 30 years, and commuting all over the area, often by car, I’m excited to now have a walking commute to this new location,” McFarlane said. “I look forward to integrating with my neighbors and fellow business owners in a community that I love.”
