Alliant National Title Insurance Company
At Alliant National, our Mission is to empower independent title agents while protecting residential and commercial property owners with secure title insurance. We do this by building trusting, collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships with a nationwide network of agents. As an Independent tile agent, you need the underwriter that genuinely cares about your success, that has your back, and puts your needs first and foremost. Alliant National is that underwriter. Here are some of the ways we puts #AgentsFirst: • We Don’t Compete Against Independent Agents: Alliant National has no direct operations. Unlike some of the big underwriters, we do not compete against independent agents for customers, employees, office space or with preferential underwriting for owned offices. All our resources are focused on helping you lower your risks, decrease your costs and grow your business. • Responsive and Innovative Underwriting: Our underwriting team finds innovative solutions to your most difficult underwriting challenges. We never back-burner your questions or give “by the book" or “automatic No” responses. • Financial Strength and Stability: You, your customers and your lenders can rely on our financial strength. No title insurance underwriter can offer you better protection for your title risk. • Collaborative Claims Handling: The Alliant National Claims Team delivers a collaborative claims experience “second to none.” We will keep you informed and work with you, not against you, when a claim arises. • Customized Education Solutions: Alliant National offers “head of the class” educational solutions. No cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach. Available in person or online through Alliant National Academy. • Celebrating Independent Agents: We are genuinely committed to independent agents and the communities they serve. You are the backbone of the industry that allows people to pursue the American Dream of homeownership and economic prosperity.
