Each quarter, SoftPro sponsors Trendsetters by October Research. This series focuses on professionals in the title insurance industry who have made significant impact and emerged as leaders, demonstrating their passion for the industry in everything they do professionally.
This quarter, Trendsetters features Bob Wuerfel, president of Lighthouse Title Group, a company he founded in 2001. Thanks to Bob's strong leadership and unwavering commitment to the customer, Lighthouse Title Group has grown from a single office to over 35 locations throughout Michigan and eastern Wisconsin.
When you read the full Trendsetters report, you'll learn how Bob got his start in the title industry as a management trainee. After graduating from Hope College with a major in business and a minor in geology, he was drawn to title because it seemed to perfectly encompass his passions for business and geology. At age 25, he was given the opportunity to manage a new location for the company at which he worked. After 13 years of working for other title companies, Bob chose to branch out on his own and founded Lighthouse Title Group.
