Job description

Advocus National Title Insurance Company

Advocus National Title Insurance Company, formerly Attorneys’ Title Guaranty Fund, Inc. (ATG), is building on nearly 60 years of financial strength, industry leadership, and trusted partnerships to become a leading national title insurance underwriter and settlement services organization.

While our roots were founded in supporting the legal community and protecting consumers, our future is focused on growth, innovation, and expanding access to high-quality title, escrow, and underwriting solutions across the United States.

The name Advocus reflects who we have always been and who we aspire to become. Advocacy remains at the core of our organization—not only advocating for our agents and customers, but also for the integrity of the real estate transaction itself.

As the industry evolves, Advocus is uniquely positioned to expand through a balanced strategy of underwriting growth, agency partnerships, direct title and escrow operations, and technology-enabled solutions designed to meet the changing needs of consumers, lenders, real estate professionals, and settlement providers.

Our commitment remains unwavering:

• Deliver exceptional service and expertise.
• Protect consumers in one of the most significant financial transactions of their lives.
• Support independent agents and business partners through collaborative relationships.
• Expand our underwriting footprint into strategic growth markets across the country.
• Develop and strengthen direct title and escrow operations in key metropolitan markets.
• Invest in technology, automation, and customer-focused solutions that enhance the settlement experience.
• Foster long-term partnerships built on trust, integrity, and shared success.

For nearly six decades, Advocus has successfully navigated industry change while maintaining a steadfast commitment to financial stability, operational excellence, and customer advocacy. Today, we are leveraging that foundation to create a modern, scalable platform capable of serving customers, agents, attorneys, lenders, and real estate professionals nationwide.

Our Values

Our values guide every decision we make and every relationship we build:

Advocacy

We champion the interests of our customers, attorneys, agents, partners, and communities while promoting confidence and integrity throughout the real estate transaction process.

Service

We are committed to delivering exceptional experiences through responsiveness, expertise, accountability, and a relentless focus on customer success.

Leadership

We embrace innovation, drive continuous improvement, and seek opportunities to shape the future of the title and settlement services industry.

Education

We believe informed customers and partners make better decisions, and we are committed to providing knowledge, training, and resources that create lasting value.

Growth

We pursue strategic expansion through underwriting, agency, and direct operational growth while maintaining the financial strength, culture, and service standards that define our organization.

A Legacy of Financial Strength

Advocus has maintained a Financial Stability Rating® of A’ (A Prime), Unsurpassed, from Demotech, Inc. since 1995—the highest rating awarded to a regional title insurance underwriter in the United States.

This financial strength, combined with our commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and customer advocacy, positions Advocus to continue expanding as a trusted national underwriter and settlement services provider for decades to come.
