History of First Centennial Title Company
For an introduction of First Centennial’s Escrow/ Title Officers and Account

Branches. You can also e-mail any questions or comments to service@firstcentennial.com. What follows is a short history of our company and our Mission Statement.
On February 15, 1978, First Centennial Title Company opened its doors with a manager, one escrow officer, a title searcher, a bookkeeper, and a receptionist. First Centennial Title was affiliated with Centennial Title Resource out of San Diego, California. At the time of opening we were told by our competitors that we would never survive the Nevada business climate, as the industry was at its lowest point in years and we were competing with nine other title companies in the area.
First Centennial has enjoyed many years of success since then. In 1983, First Centennial Title of Nevada separated from the San Diego office and took over the building and business of Valley Title along with keeping their own name, clients and employees.
On March 1, 2001, First Centennial joined the Orange Coast Title Family of Businesses.
Orange Coast Title brought its corporate support including technology and E-commerce initiatives to First Centennial. Orange Coast is one of the most successful privately held companies serving the Commercial and Residential real estate markets.
First Centennial Title, a full service title
and escrow company, has grown from a one-office operation to a
multi-office operation, with Branches in Reno, Sparks, Carson City,
and Incline Village. Through the dedication of employees and
direction of management, First Centennial Title has not only
survived but has also flourished.
