Founded in 1992 by David Rush, Meral Smith and Susan Gill, Surety Title Co. started as a single office in Marlton, N.J. with five employees and has now grown to a family of 20 companies and more than 300 employees licensed to do business in 22 states.
Rush remains a part of the company as chairman emeritus. President Brian Klaus and John DeSantis took the reins in 2006 and were joined by Keith Langan and Michael Ryan in 2011.
“Successful organizations are built on and by good people and we’ve had many,” Klaus said in a release. “Simply put, we would not be here if it weren’t for our loyal customers and our dedicated staff, past and present. We owe them all a great big thank you.”
The company’s growth was also a result of attracting the right partners and a culture that fosters engagement from start to finish, he added. The leadership team watched for opportunities to grow organically and through acquisitions and consolidations.
“The COVID pandemic and resultant challenges is the most recent example of how our team has proven the ability to adapt and change. As a team, we work together to continuously find successful solutions to any challenge,” Klaus said.
