Betty DeReese,

Administrative Assistant

Born and raised in Corpus Christi I have seen many changes throughout the years. It is nice to be a part of the history of Real Estate.

Real Estate Experience:

I began my career in Title Insurance in September of 1979 in Alice Texas. In 1983 an opportunity arose at Corpus Christi Title Company (locally owned by Ted Anderson family) in the Calallen area and in 1985 I came to work on the Southside of Corpus Christi.

Throughout the years I closed Commercial, Residential and Farm & Ranch transactions. Finding solutions to title issues is important to me. I also love the history that title research uncovers and how that history shapes our city today.

I retired from the title insurance industry in September of 2018 after 39 years. Having worked the majority of my career with the Realtors in Corpus Christi I gained a deep respect for their knowledge and abilities. My second career is doing what I love best, being support for two Commercial Brokers. Bringing my closing experience to Cobb, Lundquist & Atnip I am able to navigate the files allowing Wayne and Cliff to devote their attention to selling/listing more property.

Civic and Social Associations:

Kiwanis Club of Corpus Christi – Five Points – Charter Member 1995 serving as Treasurer for three years, Vice President for one year and President for one year
Northwest Business Association – Treasurer
Texas Land Title Association – Individual Member
First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Orange Grove – Sunday School Teacher and Luther League leader

Personal:
