Welcome to Abstract Guaranty Company

As the oldest company in Pottawattamie County, Abstract Guaranty has a rich history and a tradition of customer service and satisfaction. Back to the days of cattle drives, covered wagons and the Squirrel Cage Jail, Abstract Guaranty has the most complete set of records for Pottawattamie County in existence today. Our records accurately keep track of every parcel and lot in Pottawattamie County dating back to 1853.

Originally, attorneys and individuals searched the records for themselves. Everything was hand written. As the volume of searches increased, individuals, real estate agents and lenders set up their own systems and notes. In 1919, Abstract Guaranty purchased and consolidated the notes, books and indices of eleven abstracting companies creating a title plant. Our plant is probably the oldest and has the most complete set of records in Iowa.
