Kathy and John Akin’s Excalibur Title

Over 30 Years in the Industry

For over three decades, Kathy Akin has served as an integral component of area real estate transactions throughout the Gulf Coast region. A licensed title agent with the State of Florida, she provides her clientele with consistent, customer-oriented care that has earned her a growing base of repeat and referral clients. In May 2007 Kathy and her husband John, a marketing and sales professional, capitalized on their vast title experience and launched their own company, Excalibur Title Services, Inc. The firm is thriving, a testament to the impeccable service that has become the Akins’ signature.

With experience working in major law firms and title companies, Kathy understands the importance of a solid underwriter, open and ongoing communication, and strong collegial relationships with REALTORS® and other real estate and lender professionals. Underwritten by a leading international title insurance firm, Excalibur Title offers clients the assurance of a locally-connected company with the backing of a group that boasts over 100 years in the industry. Excalibur Title, explains John, has the capacity to meet clients’ needs while offering them something that few others can: concierge service at highly competitive rates.

“We have not raised our rates since opening our doors three years ago,” John remarks. “Though the market has changed dramatically and transactions have become more labor intensive, we have made a commitment to our clients to keep their title costs consistent for as long as possible.” This, paired with the attentive care that he and Kathy bring to their business, has enabled Excalibur Title to grow when other companies have been forced to close their doors. It’s all in the details, and Kathy and John understand just what their customers need.

“One of the most important aspects of our service is that we are truly available at any time,” says Kathy. “REALTORS® and bankers are working evenings and weekends to accommodate their clients, and we are available to answer questions when they need us.” Adds John, “Offering a concierge level of care is a priority for us; when our clients call or e-mail, they will reach us. This tends to set us apart from other title agencies and attorney’s offices.”

Though Excalibur Title typically handles transactions throughout the Gulf Coast region- including Sarasota, Manatee and Port Charlotte- Kathy is able to facilitate closings throughout Florida as a licensed title agent with the state. “We can arrange for courtesy closings at any of Stewart Title’s offices,” she explains. “This is a tremendous convenience for agents whose clients are buying or selling beyond our immediate region.”

Ultimately, says John, the goal of Excalibur Title is to continue to offer the top-notch service and client care that Kathy established throughout her 30+ years in the industry. “When our clients look good, we look good,” he reflects. “We enjoy the opportunity to work with a great group of real estate and lender professionals and their clients, and we have appreciated the growing clientele that has stemmed from our services.”

Adds Kathy, “Our goal is simply to continue to grow, to provide exceptional care and great experiences for our customers. When our clients are happy, we know we’ve done our job!”
