Discuss Your Project

For Builders & Developers

When the project gets bigger, your title partner should too.

Merita works with builders, developers and organizations whose needs extend well beyond one residential closing — acquisition, development, multiple properties, complex ownership structures and multi-market execution.

Acquisition & development
Multiple properties and phases
Builder and lot-takedown relationships
Multi-market and multi-state projects
Complex ownership and entity structures
Scalable, repeatable title relationships
Local execution with national resources
Executive-level introductions
Strategic partnerships

Merita understands that builders and developers aren't looking for another business card. They're looking for people who can move conversations forward.

Katy roots. National reach.

Katy roots.
National reach.

Merita's office may be in Katy, Texas. Her network isn't.

Between her own relationships and the Fidelity National Financial family of companies, Merita can help connect businesses, investors, builders and real estate professionals with people and resources in markets across the United States. When an opportunity crosses a state line, the conversation doesn't have to start over.

She doesn't personally handle every closing in every state — and no one should tell you they do. Available title, escrow and settlement services vary by jurisdiction and transaction. She knows how to connect you to the right people within a much larger national network.

Why Fidelity National Title

Personal relationships.
National strength.

You shouldn't have to choose between a relationship-driven title partner and the resources of a national leader. With Merita and Fidelity, you get both.

Scale means resources.

Fidelity National Financial is the nation's largest title insurance and settlement services company, and its family of title companies collectively issues more title policies than any other title organization in the United States.

Financial strength means confidence.

FNF is a Fortune 500 company — the highest-ranked title insurance company on that list according to its 2026 company reporting — and carries strong financial-strength ratings behind the policies it issues.

Market presence means experience.

FNF reported approximately 32.1% overall title market share based on the 12 months ending in 2025. Volume like that means very few situations are unfamiliar ones.

National reach means your relationship doesn't stop at the Texas border.

The family includes Fidelity National Title, Chicago Title, Commonwealth Land Title, Alamo Title and National Title Insurance of New York, with a footprint that supports complex and multi-market needs.
