Todd Ewing is an entrepreneur, attorney, and the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Title & Escrow Company. After earning his Juris Doctor from Drake University, Todd left his home state of Iowa to pursue opportunity and innovation in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

In 1996, Todd launched Federal Title & Escrow Company with a simple but disruptive premise: return value to homebuyers rather than diverting it through traditional referral kickback structures. What began as a scrappy startup—operating from a small Tenleytown office with little more than a piece of plywood laid across sawhorses—quickly evolved into a respected, attorney-driven independent title company serving the DC/MD/VA market.

Todd’s creation of the company’s proprietary REALCredit™ program fundamentally differentiated Federal Title from its competitors, offering meaningful closing cost credits directly to consumers and helping propel the company into the top echelon of independent title companies nationwide. A perennial trailblazer, Todd has consistently pushed the industry forward through innovation and technology, including the early adoption of paperless closing workflows and the development of one of the title industry’s first mobile settlement apps, Close It!, which provided unprecedented transparency by showing buyers, sellers, and agents exactly how funds would move across the closing table.

Under Todd’s leadership, Federal Title has built a reputation for integrity, consumer advocacy, technological sophistication, and operational excellence—values that continue to define the company nearly three decades after its founding. Todd’s entrepreneurial vision and willingness to challenge entrenched industry norms have made him a respected voice within the title and settlement services community.

Outside of the office, Todd is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys golf, hunting, and fishing.
