Company owner, Michael Neff, shares some information about Graham Title:

Graham Title & Abstract Co. has been in business for over 118 years. My parents, Jay and Deana Neff, and I (Landmark Title, Inc.) purchased Graham in January 2021. Today we have more than 60 years of combined in-house experience. Our title plant is the oldest in Roosevelt County, and our tract books go back to 1899. We have been a Fidelity and First American agent for over 75 years. Graham has always been a big part of the community, and we have been happy to continue the traditions. Over the years, we have sponsored many events at Eastern New Mexico University and are a huge part of the Roosevelt County Fair Junior Livestock Sale. We have also always been a part of the Curry County Junior Livestock Sale, so it was easy for us to continue that tradition in Roosevelt County. Marie Roberson, who is considered one of the “greats” at Graham, started working there in the mid-1940s and eventually became an owner in the early 1980s. She was very detailed, knowledgeable, and a great abstractor. She even continued to work there for many years after she sold the business. I have included a very neat article about her. Graham successfully closed and insured the largest wind energy farm in New Mexico at the time, The Sagamore Wind Project. I believe the SunZia project holds that record now. If you are ever in the Portales or Clovis, NM, area, stop by and see us!
