“Bringing in new business is my passion, and I’m thrilled at the opportunities that lie ahead with a top title insurance company like Landtrust,” said Babos. “The firm’s skilled professionals make the buying and selling experience seamless and stress-free, so I know the attorneys and agents I’ve developed relationships with will be in good hands.”

McGee has been in the escrow and title insurance business for more than 25 years. She also spent nearly 13 years as a senior examiner and underwriter at Stewart Title. 

McGee has a bachelor’s degree in education from Aurora University and is a certified Illinois Title Professional as well as an inaugural member of the Illinois Land Title Association’s Michael D. Troutt Leadership Academy.

“We’ve worked hard to get to this stage in the title business, and this trio of key hires has exactly what it takes to help us get to the next level and position Landtrust as an even stronger competitor,” Habib said.
