Today, we're shining the spotlight on Elizabeth Gallagher, our attorney and legal advisor, and one of the former owners of Accent Title! ⚖️🏡

Elizabeth's experience and knowledge are an important part of our team, and what does she enjoy most? Helping people! ❤️ One thing she's learned from working with others? Patience — something that definitely comes in handy in the title business!

But there's so much more to Elizabeth than her legal expertise!

🏈 She's a Kansas City Chiefs fan! ❤️💛 So, if you see her cheering on game day, you know which team she's rooting for!

🐶 Elizabeth has two grown children, Cara and Ryan, along with two dogs, Phil and Mabel. Family time is important, and she loves traveling and frequenting thrift shops.

☕ Her coffee order? A salty breeze latte iced from The Coffee Pot. And if you haven't tried it yet, she says you should, if only it were on the menu all year long!

🥧 A favorite taste of home is her grandma's pumpkin pie. In fact, she used to request it instead of a birthday cake in February! Now that's a girl who knows what she wants! 😂

🇺🇸 Here's a fun fact you might not know: Elizabeth was a hospital corpsman in the United States Navy! Thank you for your service, Elizabeth! ❤️

✍️ If she could pursue a different career, she'd love to be a children's book author.

🎶 She loves Taylor Swift songs released after November 2017. And when she has an unexpected free afternoon, you might find her listening to good music while baking something yummy.

🌺 Her dream vacation? Maui! Someone get the beach chairs ready! 🏝️

And here's one of Elizabeth's funniest quirks: she admits she gets a slight irritation when she thanks someone and they respond with “No problem.” 😂 So, if you want to make her smile, maybe try “You're welcome” instead!

We're grateful to have Elizabeth's experience, guidance, and dedication as part of the Community Title family. 💚

👇 Let's hear from you! Are you Team “You're welcome” or Team “No problem”? And Chiefs fans — we want to hear from you, too! 🏈

🏡 TITLE TUESDAY: What Is a Title Commitment? 📄

Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes before you close on a home? 🏠

A title commitment is an important step in the homebuying process! It’s a document that outlines the requirements that must be met before a title insurance policy can be issued, along with any exceptions to coverage.

🔎 Our team reviews the commitment to help identify things like:
✅ Existing mortgages or liens that need to be addressed
✅ Outstanding taxes or other title-related issues
✅ Requirements that must be completed before closing

Think of it as a roadmap to help get you to the closing table with confidence! 🔑

At Community Title, we work behind the scenes to help make your closing process as smooth as possible.

💚 Community Title is Proud to BE THE LIGHT! 💜

We’re incredibly proud to support the Monroe County Walk for Hope and want to take a moment to recognize some truly amazing people we have the privilege of working with every day — our generous realtors and lenders. 🏡💚

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored the Walk for Hope and continues to support this important cause. Your generosity goes far beyond the closing table — you’re helping bring awareness, hope, and support to our local community. ✨

Community Title is also proud to be a sponsor, and this one is especially meaningful to Dawn Woodall, who has helped organize the Walk for Hope for seven years. 💜

“It means so much to me to see my friends — the realtors and lenders I work with every day — step up and sponsor something that is so close to my heart. I’m incredibly grateful for each of you.”

We hope you’ll join us and BE THE LIGHT with us! 👟✨

One of the sweetest parts of my job is getting to celebrate life's big milestones with people I know.

Today was especially meaningful because I had the privilege of being the escrow closer for a young man who grew up alongside my son. Watching him go from a kid running around with his friends to a homeowner was such a full-circle moment.

Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment, Logan! Wishing you many years of happiness, laughter, and wonderful memories in your new home.

At Community Title, we're committed to consistency—even our wardrobes are on the same page!

When Katie and Dawn walked into the office this morning, everyone had the same question: "Did you plan that?" The answer: Nope! 😆 Just two coworkers showing up in matching outfit on the same day.
