to strong client base and loyal team of employees
Destin
,
Fla.
(October 28, 2008) – Emerald Coast Title in Destin
announces the celebration of their 25th year in
business as one of the leading title companies in
Northwest Florida
. Since its
inception in 1983, Delys Dearmon and the team at Emerald
Coast Title pride themselves in offering exceptional
service to area residents and businesses specializing in
commercial, residential and condominium sales and
development, as well as acreage transactions.
“We are
proud to be celebrating our 25th year in
business this year,” said Emerald Coast Title president
and founder Delys Dearmon.
“As a long-time resident of the
Emerald
Coast
for over 40 years, it is a remarkable feeling to be able
to reflect back on our history and the many unique
projects we have been so fortunate to be a part of.
In addition to cultivating strong relationships
with our clients, I believe the success of Emerald Coast
Title is a testament to the dedicated team of employees
that have been with me over the years.”
Perhaps the
fact that Emerald Coast Title boasts third generation
employees demonstrates one of the key strengths of the
company’s solid reputation.

granddaughter, Whitney Keeter, rise through the ranks at
Emerald Coast Title from high school intern to a full time
employee after graduating from college earlier this year.
“I have a great deal of admiration and respect
for Delys and what she has accomplished over the years.
She is one of the most intelligent, dynamic women I
know. It’s
exciting to be able to see the mentoring being passed onto
the next generation with Whitney,” said Brady.
Another
demonstration of a devoted employee is Escrow Officer
Casey Kent who has been with the company for 17 years.
Kent
credits her longevity with Emerald Coast Title to her
relationship with Dearmon.
“Delys holds professionalism to a much higher
standard than most people and she truly loves sharing her
knowledge of business with her employees.”
The team at
Emerald Coast Title includes: Delys Dearmon - President;
Shirley Brady - Office Manager; Casey Kent - Escrow
Officer; Allison Hand - Attorney & Escrow Agent; Amber
Ross - Vice President of Operations; and Whitney Keeter
– Escrow Associate.
In addition
to boasting a strong team, Emerald Coast Title recognizes
their most invaluable asset continues to be their client
relationships. The
following clients had this to say about Emerald Coast
Title:
“As
Director for Sandestin Real Estate, I am fortunate to have
the opportunity to work with some of the best agents in
the market today. When
I first arrived to help take our team to the next level, I
knew I would need a title company that could handle the
extraordinary demands of today’s market. In
Delys Dearmon and her team at Emerald Coast Title we have
found more than that. We
have found a title company, a business partner, and most
importantly, a relationship that our entire team can trust
and depend on. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able
to refer our business to Emerald Coast Title,” said Joe
Bracciale, Director of Sales for Sandestin Real Estate.
Ray &
Kelley Hall at Hall Builders Inc. added: “We were
fortunate to find Delys Dearmon when it was then known as
Gulf Coast Title nearly 25 years ago and since that time
we have been extremely satisfied in the professionalism,
cost and down right friendly & helpful attitudes at
Emerald Coast Title. We highly recommend Emerald Coast
Title to all of our clients and friends and consider Delys
a dear friend.”
