MANISTIQUE — Transnation Title Agency, the employee-owned and operated title company, is proud to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Started in October 2014 by Kate Schuetter, Transnation Title has grown from a one-person operation in Manistique to a thriving company serving the entire Upper Peninsula (UP) and beyond.

“It’s been an incredible journey,” said Kate Schuetter, owner and Northern Division Manager of Transnation Title Agency. “We started with a vision of providing exceptional service and security for real estate transactions in the UP. Seeing our team grow and the number of satisfied clients we’ve served has been truly rewarding.”

The Manistique location is currently a staff of 3 full-time employees who are Kate Schuetter, Lisa Sumbera and Rebecca Miron.

Transnation Title is built on a foundation of employee dedication and teamwork. The company has expanded to include offices in Marquette (opened in 2016), Houghton (opened in 2018), and Escanaba (opened in 2023). With a combined staff of over 15 full-time employees across the UP, Transnation offers exceptional service and local expertise to clients throughout the region.

“We are incredibly proud of our team,” says Schuetter. “They are knowledgeable, dedicated, and always go the extra mile for our clients. Our collaborative culture means that no matter which office you work with, you’ll receive the same high level of service.”

Transnation Title’s commitment to excellence has led to closing over 12,000 files since 2014. With recent licensing in Wisconsin, the company is hopeful for continuing growth.

“We are excited about the future,” said Schuetter. “Our main priority is our customers.  We realize that without them, we don’t have jobs.  Providing a seamless, accurate and efficient transaction is what we aim for. We are very thankful for the Realtors and lenders that continue to send business our way.”

Many consumers are unaware that they have the option to choose their title company. Transnation Title encourages clients to discuss their options with their real estate agent or lender.

“We want to empower consumers to choose a title company that aligns with their needs,” says Schuetter. “With Transnation Title, you can expect friendly, knowledgeable professionals who are dedicated to making your closing experience positive and efficient.”

Transnation Title Agency would like to express their sincere gratitude to their clients, partners, and dedicated employees for their continued support over the past decade.
