National Standard Abstract LLC

Originally published in Long Island Business News

For the past decade, National Standard Abstract has provided title insurance policies for real estate transactions. Owned by Osei Rubie and his son, Nadir, the full-service title insurance agency employs 10 people and has expertise in residential and commercial real estate transactions.

Before deciding to launch National Standard Abstract, Osei Rubie worked for another title insurance company for a number of years. While it is difficult to secure new clients at scale for a business that is somewhat obscure, he was very creative in marketing the business in unique and engaging ways, and, over the last 10 years, the company has closed more than $3 billion in transitions.

Nadir Rubie, who previously worked in the public and private sectors with industry leaders in affordable housing, real estate law and development, joined National Standard Abstract in 2017 and became a partner two years later. He manages daily office operations, title production, new business development and professional vendor services. He established the National Standard Resource Center to provide residential and commercial real estate professionals with access to cutting-edge industry insight and opportunities for exchanges through continuing education courses.

The company continues to navigate challenges, including adapting to new legislation impacting title companies.

A philanthropic company, National Standard Abstract has donated more than $300,000 to community youth programs and provided a college scholarship endowment.
