Cheri Hipenbecker
General Counsel for the Knight Barry Title Group, which is a group of title and settlement companies with over 80 offices and 550 title and closing professionals with offices throughout Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, and Wisconsin. Cheri joined Knight Barry Title in 2007 when the company had only 80 or so people in Southeastern Wisconsin. Since joining Knight Barry Title in 2007, Cheri, along with the other members of Knight Barry Title's Executive Team, saw expansion opportunities and began aggressively increasing the company's footprint by aquiring at least 1 title company every year since.


In addition to acquisition mode, Cheri serves as a first point of contact for Knight Barry Title's staff on all things "legal" including implementation of ALTA's Best Practices, being the preeminent standard for title policy issuance and escrow account administration.

But Cheri's dedication to real property conveyances doesn't start and end with Knight Barry Title. She has been actively engaged with the Wisconsin Land Title Association since 2007 and is a Past-President of the WLTA. In an effort to advance land records administration, Cheri frequently reviews and drafts Wisconsin legislation on the topic, most recently Wisconsin's Remote On-Line Notarization law and is currently serving as a gubernatorial appointed member of Wisconsin's Remote Notary Council.

Cheri has a passion for the real estate industry and takes the safety and security of consumer privacy and money to heart, having actively presented on wire fraud for the past 5 years. Cheri is pleased to be a member of this panel.
