Deschutes Title has recently purchased Columbia County Title and Escrow Services, Inc. This is not the first expansion Deschutes Title has seen in recent years. In 2017, Deschutes Title opened a branch in Redmond and a La Pine branch in 2021. This expansion marks their very first location outside of Central Oregon.
After over 40 years of ownership, Ron Bridge, a resident of Redmond, has decided to sell Columbia County Title and Escrow Services. Bridge did extensive research to find the perfect fit for not only the employees but also the local Columbia County community. It is exciting to announce Columbia County Title and Escrow Services has sold to another Independent Agency in the Pacific Northwest who has the same values and concerns for the community. Deschutes Title is a family owned and operated company with over 100 years of experience in the title and escrow industry.
In selecting a successor owner for Columbia Title and Escrow Services, it was essential new leadership be vested in the community; value the importance of doing business local and supportive of the employees and their families. Deschutes Title is committed to all three.
Daily contacts and staff, previously at Columbia County Title and Escrow Services, will remain unchanged ensuring transactions continue with the care and service the community of Columbia County has come to expect. Employee contact information has not yet changed and the location will remain at 240 S First Street in St. Helens, Oregon.
Deschutes Title, as part of the highly successful Schreiner Group of title companies, has a tradition of providing topnotch and personalized professional services, which continues one person at a time. The Schreiner family has been involved in the title business in the Northwest since the early 1900′s. With having a St. Helens, Oregon branch and affiliated offices in Longview and Vancouver, Washington, it will continue to provide the local community with expertise and special insights into the area’s real estate needs.
