Bob Wuerfel
President
I graduated from Hope College and have been working in the title industry since 1988. I spent the first 13 years working for large title agencies, and the past 20+ as President of Lighthouse Title Group, which has a network of 35+ Lighthouse Title and venture locations throughout Michigan and Eastern Wisconsin.
With extensive operations expertise and significant experience with several title agency mergers and joint ventures, I currently provide senior leadership to my title team and venture partners. This leadership has led Lighthouse Title to be honored by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the 500 fastest growing firms in the country.
I have also been named one of Grand Rapids Business Journal’s “Top 40 Business Leaders Under 40”. Within the Michigan Land Title Association (MLTA), I have served a term as President, have been involved with several committees and have earned the Certified Land Title Professional (CLTP) designation. Additionally, I earned the MLTA’s Robert J. Jay award for dedication and service to the land title industry!
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with our family. My wife and I have been married 30+ years and three grown children, a son-in-law and an awesome dog! We spend many summer weekends at our cottage relaxing, pontooning, tubing, skiing, playing yard games or reading books on the porch or by an evening campfire. At church, I am on consistory, play in the bell choir and have co-chaired our building campaign. And I am an avid railfan for both the current train lines as well as researching historical lines that no longer exist. If you have a land title issue with a current or former railroad parcel, chances are I can assist. In fact, I have been a speaker for our Michigan Land Title Association on railroad properties.
