The Placer Title Company Story

Placer Title Company was founded by Leo French in 1973. Leo’s vision was to create a work environment that emphasized people. His dream: “To bring together a group of people who really care about each other and about their customers.” Leo believed that if this was accomplished, success would follow. It did. Beginning with only two offices—one in Roseville, California and the other in Auburn, California—Placer Title Company has grown throughout Northern California and beyond.

At Placer Title Company, our people are dedicated to the industry and are committed to giving exceptional service. Our staff’s longevity, combined with the company’s commitment to retaining long-term client relationships, has been the key to our success and is what makes us who we are today. Backed by the strength of Mother Lode Holding Company, we have been able to diversify our business by creating a National Lender Service Division — PTC/National Closing Solutions, and a Short Sale Negotiation Service — Short Sale Advantage. Furthermore, we have expanded our title and escrow services by adding North Idaho Title, Montana Title and Escrow, and Wyoming Title and Escrow to our family of companies. By expanding our services, we can better serve our clients and offer solutions to all of their title and escrow needs. At Placer Title Company, we care about each other and our clients, and continually demonstrate why we are a proven leader in the title and escrow industry.

Welcome to Manteca!

Manteca is a city 76 miles east of San Francisco. As a city in San Joaquin County, Manteca can be readily accessed today using California’s major highways, Interstate 5, and State Routes 99 and 120.

Manteca was founded in 1861 by Joshua Cowell, a landowner who claimed 1,000 acres of land around today’s town center. In 1873, the Central Pacific Railroad laid track directly in this area. The residents wanted to name the stop “Cowell Station,” but the name had already been claimed by Cowell’s brother who was developing land not far away. Instead, the community chose the name “Monteca.” A misprint by the railroad company led to the name “Manteca” and has been accepted since.

Manteca’s location in the Central Valley serves it advantageously as an agricultural hub as recent as the 1970s. Over time, as people looked for affordable alternatives to Bay Area home prices in addition to a more tranquil lifestyle, Manteca became a prime choice, allowing it to fashion itself the “Family City.” Today, as agriculture takes a backseat to the city’s economy, high-tech industries are blossoming in the area.

Located in the Central Valley, Manteca is hot during the summer months when temperatures tend to be in the 90s and cold during the winter when temperatures are generally in the 40s.
