Celebrating Shawn McCullough: A Life in Title

This week, People's Title celebrates Shawn McCullough, our Vice President of Escrow Operations and Senior Escrow Officer.

Shawn joined People's Title on March 17, 2025, but his career in real estate and title stretches back nearly two decades. His background includes business development with Fidelity National Title and progressively larger escrow and operational leadership roles with several Texas title companies.

He really loves title

Some people work in title. Shawn genuinely loves title — the history, the details, the problems that have to be solved and the responsibility of getting ownership from one person to another correctly.

His résumé tells that story. Shawn has managed the entire title process, from opening an order through curative work, closing, funding, recording and issuing the title policy. At one point, he was personally closing 30–50 files per month while managing an entire office, with about 75% of that office's business coming from his own clients.

He later served as a Chief Operations Officer, overseeing three offices with responsibility for compliance and reconciliation.

That history matters at People's Title. When a complicated title issue appears, Shawn wants to understand it. When something needs to be cured, he wants to figure out the path. And when another member of our team needs help, years of experience are sitting right down the hall.

As we grow, we need people who understand that title isn't simply about getting another file closed. It's about protecting ownership, solving problems and respecting the history behind every piece of property.

That's Shawn.

Thank you, Shawn. We're glad you're on this journey with us.
