I have known Fred since the late 1990's when we were both Title Sales Executives at another title company. I found Fred to be an honest, hardworking and dedicated man then and am happy to report that he holds the same qualities today. Having employees that are happy, secure and feel appreciated is important to Fred. I sure feel this way and am very happy to be a part of his Fidelity Family.

One of the toughest jobs a person can take on is managing people, particularly a large group of people. It’s one thing to manage our own actions and behaviors. It’s something completely different to oversee others, and it takes a very special individual to do it well, and with ease. Fred Freeman is one of those people. Fred is not only a knowledgeable, experienced leader, he is also kind hearted, understanding and has the innate ability to make each person he comes into contact with feel they have his undivided attention and concern. Having been in management myself, and having worked in several different industries, I know first hand what a gift it is to have Fred leading our team. I’m proud to work for him, and feel he is an excellent representative for our division, and for Fidelity National Title, overall.

When the name Fred Freeman comes up, a few words come to mind. Integrity, trustworthy, leadership, strong, compassionate, thoughtful, and many other positive traits. Fred is extremely committed to the people he leads including myself. When he develops goals, he always sees them through. He is always there when I need him for any situation that comes up whether it's simple or complex. Anyone who doesn't know Fred, I strongly suggest spending time and developing a relationship.

Fred is a true leader and someone who deeply cares about the people he works with and surrounds. I am honored to work for someone who is transparent, genuine, in the moment and someone who deeply cares about the people around him and the job that he does. Fred's energy is contagious and he is by far one of the most approachable and positive people that I know.

Since meeting Fred, he has made it clear that his team/employees always come first. To me, that speaks volume about a leader. If you take care of your people, your people will always take care of the customer. Unfortunately, not too many companies share this mentality. To me, this is what sets Fidelity and Fred Freeman apart from the competition.

I've been in the title business as an Escrow Officer for over 25 years and have worked for a few different title companies over the years. I've recently made the move back to Fidelity National Title much in part due to Fred's influence. Upon meeting Fred I was instantly impressed with his openness, sincerity and genuine interest in getting to know me. His attitude and positivity holds true and steady every day. I knew that Fidelity National Title was a great company to work for, Fred is the icing on the cake!
