Coast Title Insurance Agency in Palm Coast Celebrates 20 Years in Business

PALM COAST, Fla. - July 18, 2015 - PRLog -- Coast Title Insurance Agency is pleased to announce they are celebrating their 20 year anniversary!

Coast Title Insurance Agency was founded in 1995 by Sandra McDermott and three other partners. By 2007, McDermott bought out the partners and became the sole owner of Coast Title. She also serves as President/Co-Owner of two other affiliated title companies.

“I feel proud to work with such an experienced and dedicated team of title professionals – we would not be in business this long if it weren’t for my incredible staff,” said McDermott. “Our office staff has a combined title experience of over 140 years and that makes a huge difference, especially with the changes that are happening in the title insurance industry right now,” she added. According to McDermott, it’s unusual for title offices to have more than two licensed agents in the same office, and Coast Title has four licensed title insurance agents on staff.

McDermott also credited Coast Title’s longevity to a few business mentors she’s had over the years, her relationships with local realtors, homebuilders and lenders. She said that owning her own business has had its ups and downs, including the real estate market crash that hit Flagler County especially hard starting in 2007.

Along with a 20 year anniversary came a brand new website at http://www.coast-title.com. “It was definitely time,” said McDermott. The website allows visitors to educate themselves on the types of services that Coast Title offers as well as virtually meet the staff. In addition, they have a page with helpful links to industry information.

Coast Title handles every type of closing from lot sales, home sales, and new construction sales to multi-million dollar commercial transactions. They received the distinguished Top Performing Title Agency from their underwriters for several years running.  The company has also been awarded the Flagler Palm Coast News-Tribune’s Readers Choice Award for many years.

McDermott and her coworkers recognize the need for giving back to the community. They are all active in real estate business organizations as well as non-profit organizations in the community. Sandra is the current president of Flagler County Habitat for Humanity, past president of the Rotary Club of Flagler Beach, Life Director in the Flagler Homebuilder’s Association, business partner in the Flagler Association of Realtors, as well as several additional industry associations.
