THERE'S A NEW GUY IN CHARGE!

It is with great pleasure that we announce the promotion of Mike Lisanti to Vice President and Manager of Chicago Title NCS Chicago.  Over the past ten months, Mike has held the role as Assistant Manager after Ed Burton's well-deserved promotion to EVP, Division Manager within the company.  Mike will now assume full management responsibility as of September 1, 2018.  A great deal of the success of our operation in Chicago can be attributed to the contributions made by Mike.  

Mike joined Chicago Title in 1998 and has held numerous management positions with Chicago Metro, the former Chicago Commercial Center and most recently the Chicago Title NCS Chicago operation.  He is a graduate of Loyola University in Chicago, where he received both his BA degree and his MBA.  He received his JD from Northern Illinois University, and currently sits on the Board of John Marshall Law School Center for Real Estate.  Mike, his wife Kerry, and kids reside in Itasca, Illinois.
