1st Option Title was founded by Scott Horne, a title attorney and real estate investor who experienced title problems firsthand. He built a company specifically for the transactions other title companies struggle with. Our Texas office at 1795 Northwest Hwy in Garland serves investors throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Scott Horne also practices through Horne & Associates, P.C., a separate Dallas-area law firm. 1st Option Title and Horne & Associates are separate legal entities, each serving distinct roles in the real estate transaction ecosystem.
1st Option Title serves Texas from our Garland office, as well as Arizona. Closings outside Texas and Arizona are handled through our sister company, OFN Creative Closings.
