Portland, OR – May 1, 2019 – VANPORT ESCROW & TITLE COMPANY, INC., is a full-service escrow and title company focused on providing title and closing services for residential, commercial, builder/developer, investor, municipal and lending needs, trustee sales, builder-related trust services and 1031 exchange services. Vanport Escrow & Title Company is also a voice for both business and economic development in the area.
The Vanport Escrow & Title Company’s name is more than just a moniker. When the founder Fred Stewart – a marine veteran with decades of experience in Real Estate and Banking decided to start a new Escrow & Title Company in Oregon, he had a vison to service a community that was inspired by the war time story of City of Vanport in North Portland that demonstrated the resilience of the community well ahead of its time in spite the challenges.
“I wanted to create an escrow and title company named Vanport because I want to encourage more people to remember the important history of Vanport, and I want more people to get involved in the escrow and title business, and especially more minorities. I want all people to have a trusted source that is based in Oregon and that is run and operated by Black people. Vanport ended poorly, but it was a special time. It was Portland’s first integrated community. Other than the flood, everyone that I met who lived there had only fond memories of living there, both Black and White people,” Stewart explained.
