ALLIANT NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY AWARDED ARIZONA STATE LICENSING

Anticipated real-estate market growth presents excellent opportunities
LONGMONT—Alliant National Title Insurance Company, a unique title insurance underwriter that partners with Independent Agents to improve their competitive position in the marketplace, announces that the State of Arizona Department of Insurance approved the company's application to be a licensed title insurance underwriter within the state. The authorization furthers Alliant National's continued expansion goals within the U.S.

"Although there are challenges in the residential market in Arizona today, we are confident about the long-term outlook for the state and its real estate industry," says Alliant National Title Insurance CEO Bob Grubb. "Arizona continues to enjoy solid employment growth, and baby boomers will continue to retire to the state and purchase real estate. Arizona is an ideal fit and an exciting opportunity for all of Alliant National's Independent Agents. We are very pleased to enter the market and establish our presence."

Alliant National's mission is to protect property owners' investment by providing secure title insurance delivered by the finest Independent Agents available. Unlike other underwriters, Alliant National offers Independent Agents the ability to expand their business and improve their position in the marketplace, reduce their costs and risks, and increase profits within a network of like agents in a non-competitive partnership. In true partnership form, Alliant National provides an environment with its agents that improves the accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of its products, while expanding the knowledge base of its agents, and offering the best title insurance products and services possible.

"Our unique approach has proven very successful in Colorado and Texas," says Alliant National Title Insurance President Dave Ginger. "We are excited to bring a unique level of service to independent title agencies that help them serve property owners better and be stronger contributors to their communities. We look forward to providing our unique support to Arizona's Independent Title Insurance Agents' needs."

Alliant National Title Insurance's management team is frequently called upon to speak at industry conferences and symposiums. Alliant National also hosts Independent Agent-specific educational forums, as well as selected professional-centric mortgage and title insurance industry education events. "Lunchtime Updates: Alliant National Educational Series" events are held quarterly, with the next forum scheduled for January 2008.
