Dana Santangelo
President, Germantown Title Company
ABOUT:
I have spent my entire life in the Title Insurance industry; I have literally grown up in this business as I am a third-generation Title Insurance Agent. I often say, “It’s in my blood!”
I was born and raised in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and have raised my own family less than 10 miles from where I grew up. I graduated from Boston College’s Carrol School of Management in 1996. I started working for my father’s title agency the next fall, with the intention of finding my own path. It turned out my path was Title Insurance; I learned to love the complexity, the interaction with clients and customers, and the fast-paced environment.
I purchased the business operations from my father in 2003 and have spent the following decades growing the client base, on both our independent platforms as wells as our Joint Ventures, building a team of dedicated Title Insurance professionals, which includes acquiring several smaller title agencies, and establishing technological platforms and processes that would help us deliver 21st Century service and security.
I am member of Pennsylvania Land Title Association, the American Land Title Association, the Pennsylvania Association of Notaries, and the Tri-County Board of Realtors where I am currently serving a two-year term as Affiliate Director.
