Our History
Elite Title Company LLC (“Elite”) was built by four individual partners, Daniel Klauber, Bruce Bartlett, Jill Leath and Knox Mailhes. They came together after they saw there was a need for a locally based title company in the St. Louis Metropolitan area that offered the best title and escrow related services at a competitive price.
Elite was founded in 2021 with two offices, and each partner brought a unique skill set to the company. The strength of the ownership team at Elite is exceptional with over 100 years of title experience and more than 50 years of legal experience in the combined group. The experience, dedication and commitment of not just the ownership group but, each and every employee at Elite has allowed the company to flourish.
Today, the company has eight offices spread throughout the St. Louis region and offices in Joplin, Missouri and Boulder, Colorado. Elite is large enough to serve any needs someone may have for title and escrow services in and around St. Louis but it never has, and never will, change its stated goal of making each and every client feel like their transaction is the most important transaction the company is handling.
