Land Title president buys FirstBank’s 1031 exchange business, launches new Colorado company
The Denver Post reported that Land Title Guarantee president John E. Freyer Jr. acquired FirstBank's 1031 exchange business at the end of 2025 and combined it with Land Title's exchange operation. The resulting company began operating as Vaulted Escrow & Exchange.
Based in Longmont, the business combines exchange services with corporate and real-estate escrow work. The report says it had six employees and expected to expand. Freyer described a seven-figure acquisition price and a typical exchange fee of roughly $1,000, with more complicated transactions priced higher. Those fees reflect the company's reported terms at publication.
