Buckeye Title Corp. has a rich history and a bright future By ELLEN KOLMAN - Staff Writer - ekolman@starbeacon.com Star Beacon JEFFERSON — Since 1946 Buckeye Title Corp., located at 28 W. Jefferson St., has been a trusted title service, which continues to grow.
The company was founded in 1946 by Ed Green, a real-estate lawyer. Green grew the business and in the early 1960s, took in some other owners. In the early 1970s, Peter Pasqualone was hired. Pasqualone became a title examiner and in time was made president and a shareholder of the company. Pasqualone died earlier this year after a year long battle with cancer. The business still is operating at its same location across from the Ashtabula County Courthouse. “He is terribly missed, but the business is continuing to move forward,” said Betsy Burke, a title agent who has been in the title business for 19 years. In fact, Buckeye expanded recently, opening a Lake County office more than a year ago. That office is located at 56 Liberty St., Suite 309, in Painesville. “Now, we are able to do our searches and closings anywhere in Ohio,” said Susan Rebera, title agent, who has been in the title business for 16 years. Robert H. Myers Jr., who manages the Painesville office, is a title agent and attorney and has been in the title business for 40 years, Rebera said. Buckeye Title intends to carry on the legacy of Ed Green and Pete Pasqualone, offering high-quality title and escrow services to homeowners, real-estate developers and agents, and banks and lawyers in Ashtabula and Lake counties. The company provides title insurance, closing services, judicial reports, title searches, escrow services and much more. “If anyone has any real-estate questions at all, we can point them in the right direction,” Rebera said. “We can also handle for-sale-by-owner, foreclosure and short sales.” “There is a lot involved (in what) we do to obtain a clean title,” she said. “And there is nobody that can hunt and find like our Betsy.” “We search what’s on record in the courthouse, such as property taxes and possible liens against property owners,” Burke said. “It is a positive thing because you want people to put out a clear title.” At Buckeye Title, customer service and getting the job done right the first time are the highest priorities. “We are not afraid to go out of the office. We want to expand our customer service,” Rebera said. As part of reaching out to the community, Buckeye Title is participating in local events like reverse raffles for local charities, said Rayne Burr, who is the company’s bookkeeper. “We are reviving ourselves by being more visible and active in the community,” Burr said.
