People's Title Expands into Greater Houston

Strengthening our commitment to homeownership and the REALTIST® community.

HOUSTON, TEXAS — August 16, 2026 — People's Title LLC, an independent Texas title company, announces its expansion into the Greater Houston area, bringing its title, escrow and closing services to one of the nation's largest and most diverse real estate markets.

The expansion represents more than geographic growth. It is an opportunity to build stronger relationships with Houston-area real estate professionals, lenders, builders, investors and homebuyers while expanding the presence of minority-owned businesses within the real estate and financial-services ecosystem.

"Houston is an important market for People's Title, but it is also an important community," said Johnnie Morine, President and CEO of People's Title. "We want to earn our place here by providing exceptional service, creating opportunity and being present in the communities we serve."

What this means for Houston's NAREB and REALTIST® community

People's Title shares a natural connection with the mission of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) and its REALTIST® members: expanding democracy in housing and creating sustainable pathways to homeownership and economic opportunity.

For Houston-area REALTIST® members, the arrival of People's Title creates another opportunity to intentionally strengthen the ecosystem surrounding the families and communities they serve.

"I am a REALTIST® myself, so I understand the mission from both sides of the closing table," Morine said. "I'm in your space, and you're in mine. We share many of the same objectives. The question is how we turn those shared objectives into measurable opportunities for our communities."

People's Title believes closing a transaction should be more than the final step of a real estate deal. Title companies are part of the infrastructure of homeownership. Clear title, education, estate planning awareness, heirs' property solutions and access to knowledgeable professionals can all influence whether property ownership becomes generational wealth.

Representation at another level of the transaction

Black professionals have built significant representation in real estate sales, lending, investing and development. Yet Black ownership remains far less visible in other parts of the transaction, including the title industry. People's Title intends to help change that.

"Representation should not stop with the REALTOR® or lender," Morine said. "We should also be represented in the businesses that insure ownership, protect property rights and participate in the financial infrastructure behind real estate."

A Texas company positioned for growth

Founded in Texas, People's Title provides title insurance, escrow and closing services with a simple operating philosophy: People First. The company is building relationships across Texas while investing in technology, experienced title professionals and strategic partnerships.

For Houston's NAREB chapters and REALTIST® community, People's Title sees an opportunity to collaborate around homeownership education, professional development, heirs' property and title education, community initiatives and greater participation by minority-owned businesses throughout the real estate transaction.

"We are not coming to Houston simply asking for business," Morine said. "We are coming prepared to participate, support, educate, invest and earn the business. When our community creates opportunities for businesses that are committed to reinvesting in that same community, everybody has an opportunity to rise."

Houston, we're here.

People's Title is now serving the Greater Houston area and welcomes opportunities to work with REALTORS®, REALTIST® members, lenders, builders, investors, attorneys, developers and consumers throughout the region.

People First. Community Always. Opportunity for Everyone.
