About Us
Land titles are our business, but not merely our business. The core of our operating mindset is summed up in one little word:
TOV טוב (“Good”)
This is about transformation. Doing the next right thing, looking for ways to fulfill potential, working with hope. Everything we do must be measured against our capabilities as people—who we are, what we can do today, and who we are willing to become tomorrow.
Our Mission
Vanguard is a full-service title agency that provides expert title underwriting, and title research services to help mitigate risk, and facilitate the real estate settlement process.
Our Vision
To take the lead in providing innovative land title research, title insurance, and settlement solutions in New York State.
Our Values
INNOVATORS
While we look to the history and traditions of our industry to help guide us, we choose not to be bound by conventions. We intentionally look further. To borrow the words of George Bernard Shaw: “You see things; and you say ‘Why’? But [we] dream things that never were; [we] say ‘Why not?'”
CURIOUS
We are the people that drive down a road just to find out where it goes, or tinker with a thing just to find out how it works. We are unafraid to question everything—including ourselves.
PEOPLE-CENTRIC
We want to be better at servant leadership not only to our attorney, lender, and title company partners, but also to the everyday sellers, buyers, and investors who—though they may not understand it all—are relying on us to serve them well.
RESOURCEFUL
A wise man once said: “make your plans; make backup plans to your plans. Work your plan. Then be prepared for it all to go to hell.” When getting to the closing table seems impossible, we are committed to finding a way when the formulas don’t work and everyone else has given up.
MASTERS OF CRAFT
We understand the art *and* technique of title conveyancing and underwriting. We seek to master the whole settlement process in order to perfect the smallest details.
