Kensington Vanguard Expands Arizona Presence

NEW YORK, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kensington Vanguard National Land Services ("KV"), one of the largest independent, full-service title insurance agencies in the country, is pleased to announce the hiring of Carol Rieger and Nicole Marucci, two of the leading commercial title insurance executives in the state of Arizona.  This expansion in Arizona follows KV's entrance into the market with the acquisition of GRS Title earlier this year.

Over the course of her 25-year career in commercial real estate, Carol has established herself as one of the most well-respected commercial escrow officers in the Arizona market. She has managed numerous offices with a focus on both business development and the servicing of complex commercial transactions. Carol will join the firm as Vice President and Senior Commercial Escrow Officer and will co-manage the Phoenix branch.

After years of experience in business development and title insurance underwriting roles in the Washington DC Metro area, Nicole returned home to Phoenix last year.   As Vice President of Business Development & Underwriting Counsel, Nicole will be managing client relationships and concentrating on growth initiatives within market.

"Nicole and I are thrilled to be joining such a prestigious firm and are excited to offer expanded services through Kensington Vanguard's national platform, relationships and presence," said Carol Rieger.

"Carol and Nicole will add significant depth and talent to our already strong local team and establish KV as one of the leaders in the Arizona commercial title insurance space.  We're committed to continued growth in this market," added Brian Cooper, Co-CEO of Kensington Vanguard.
