As a new year begins, plans for positive growth and a new way of doing business are on the agenda for Edwards Abstract and Title Co. One central office will serve the real estate industry in the cities of Mission and Sharyland effective January, 2008. “The Edwards Management Team has been keeping close watch of the market conditions and customer demand, and the market currently dictates that the Mission branch office centrally located at the corner of Griffin Parkway and Glasscock Road is in higher demand,” stated Byron Jay Lewis, president of Edwards Abstract and Title Co. “The growth of the city of Mission and Sharyland are spreading equally in each direction, so a conveniently located escrow office in one of the busiest corridors in this area makes good business sense,” he added. Edwards Abstract and Title Co. is independently owned and operated and has been successfully serving the title insurance needs of local residential, commercial and industrial customers since 1880. The company recently celebrated the completion of the 26,175 square foot corporate offices located in Edinburg.
