Viking Title Agency Managed Services

Ready to Retire From Your Title Company? You Don't Have to Sell Your Legacy.

You spent years — maybe decades — building your title company. You built the relationships. You earned the trust. You created the name. You survived market cycles, regulatory changes, staffing headaches, technology changes and everything else that comes with owning an independent title agency. Now you may be ready for something different. But retiring from your title company doesn't necessarily mean selling it.

A Different Path Forward

Viking Title Agency's Managed Services provides independent title company owners with another option:

Keep your company. Preserve your legacy. Let us run it.

Instead of selling your title agency to a national company or simply closing the doors, you may be able to turn the day-to-day operation over to Viking Title Agency's Managed Services team. You remain the owner. We operate the business. And you get to step away from the daily responsibility of running it.

Selling your company means giving up the asset you spent years building. What if you didn't have to?

Viking's Managed Services model is designed for established title company owners who are ready to reduce — or potentially eliminate — their day-to-day involvement without necessarily giving up ownership of their company.

Your Company. Your Legacy.

Selling isn't your only path to retirement. Discover what Managed Services could mean for you.

Your Company. Your Legacy.

Managed by Viking

Your title company is more than a license or a balance sheet. It's a legacy. It's the company your community knows. It's relationships with agents, lenders, attorneys, builders and customers that may go back decades. It's employees you've worked beside and a reputation you spent years establishing.

We believe stepping away shouldn't automatically mean watching that disappear.

Under a Viking Managed Services arrangement, your existing company can potentially continue operating under its established identity while Viking assumes agreed operational and management responsibilities.

Rather than ending your company's story, we help write its next chapter.

Operational Support

Step Away From Operations — Not From What You Built

Depending upon the company, market, licensing and regulatory requirements, Viking can evaluate taking responsibility for areas such as:

Day-to-day title company operations

Title production and examination

Escrow and closing operations

Staffing and recruiting

Workflow and file management

Customer service

Technology and operational systems

Compliance coordination

Underwriter relationships

Vendor management

Business development

Marketing and growth

Accounting and operational reporting

Every title company is different, so every managed-services relationship is evaluated individually.

The objective is straightforward: You stop managing the business every day. We start managing it for you.

And We Don't Just Want to Maintain It.

If we're going to operate your company, we're going to look for opportunities to grow it. That may mean developing new referral relationships, expanding into additional markets, adding services, improving technology, increasing production capacity or pursuing opportunities your company simply hasn't had the time or resources to pursue.

You may be ready to slow down. That doesn't mean your company has to.

Our goal is to preserve what you've built while identifying opportunities for the business to become even stronger.

Financial Structure

What Happens to Me Financially?

Every company and arrangement is different, and Viking does not publish a one-size-fits-all financial structure.

If there appears to be a fit, we'll evaluate the company, its existing operation, licensing, market, infrastructure and opportunities and discuss a managed-services arrangement privately with you.

The concept is simple: You continue participating financially in the company you built while Viking handles the agreed day-to-day operation.

Instead of worrying about tomorrow's closings, staffing issues, production problems and operational decisions, your role may become considerably simpler: Let us operate it. You collect your distributions.

Still Valuable

What If My Title Company Isn't Very Active Anymore?

Talk to us anyway. In fact, that may represent an opportunity.

Perhaps you've already started stepping away. Maybe your order volume isn't what it once was. Maybe you've stopped actively marketing. Maybe you have valuable licenses, underwriter relationships, title plant access, experienced employees or a respected local name — but no longer have the desire to build the business yourself.

Those things may still have significant value.

Viking can evaluate what remains in place and whether there is an opportunity to rebuild, expand or reactivate the operation.

Don't Count Yourself Out

Even a quiet company may have assets worth protecting. Let us take a look.

Your Team

What If I Already Have Employees?

That's part of the conversation.

Managed services doesn't automatically mean replacing the people who helped you build your company. We want to understand your operation first: your people, systems, customers, underwriters, technology, markets and culture.

If something works, there may be absolutely no reason to change it.

Our job isn't to erase what you've built. Our job is to help it continue without requiring you to run it every day.

No. That's the point.

Do I Have to Sell Viking My Title Company?

No. That's the point.

Viking Managed Services is intended to create an alternative for owners who aren't necessarily looking for a traditional acquisition. You may be able to retain ownership while Viking assumes agreed management and operational responsibilities.

If you've spent decades creating an asset, selling shouldn't be your only path to retirement.

Nationwide Interest

Viking is interested in speaking with independent title agency owners throughout the United States.

Nationwide

Is This Only Available in Certain States?

Viking is interested in speaking with independent title agency owners throughout the United States.

Title insurance, escrow and agency regulations vary significantly by state, so every opportunity must be evaluated individually and structured appropriately for the jurisdiction involved.

If you're wondering whether it could work for your company, the easiest answer is: Talk to us. We'll determine whether there is a workable opportunity.

A Different Kind of Succession Plan

A Different Kind of Title Company Succession Plan

For years, title company owners have faced essentially the same choices: Keep working. Find someone internally to take over. Sell. Or eventually close.

We think there should be another option.

Keep what you built — and let someone else operate it.

For the right independent title company, Viking Managed Services can provide a path toward retirement that preserves ownership, maintains the company's legacy and creates the opportunity for continued growth.

You built the company. You shouldn't necessarily have to sell it just because you're ready to stop running it.

Ready to Talk About Your Title Company's Future?

Whether you're actively considering selling your title company, beginning to think about retirement, struggling with succession planning or simply tired of handling the day-to-day operation, we'd like to hear from you.

The conversation can begin privately and without obligation.

Don't sell your legacy before you know your options.
