10 Reasons to shop in Edmond
1)    You save money! Yes, Edmond sales tax is 7.75%, less than most surrounding areas.

2)    You support local merchants who contribute to local fundraising and pay property taxes that help fund our outstanding public schools!

3)    You help keep Edmond safe! Sales tax supports our police and fire departments.  If a police officer or fire fighter comes to assist you, he won't send you a bill for his services. These operations are funded through sales tax dollars. If you shop in another city, you help pay for public safety there instead of here in Edmond.

4)    You help maintain the wonderful quality of life here! Your sales tax supports our parks, trails, recreation programs and venues like Festival Market Place and the Mitch Park Amphitheater.

5)    You support community organizations and social service agencies that help those in need. Sales tax helps support the Hope Center, Edmond Mobile Meals, Edmond Family Services, UR Special and many other caring agencies.

6)    You help create jobs! You support businesses that employ your friends and neighbors.

7)    You can find what you are looking for right here in Edmond. We have a variety of retail and service stores, specialty shops, gift stores, boutiques, art galleries, and antiques.

8)    You minimize your carbon footprint when you shop locally rather than driving into other cities. Yes, you can shop and be environmentally-friendly!

9)    You invest in Edmond's future. Local businesses have a vested interest in the future of our community!

10)   You help Edmond maintain its uniqueness! Edmond has dozens of businesses that have been part of our community for years and contribute to our own special culture and character.

Trustmark Title opened in 2000 and has grown to Oklahoma's leading independent title and closing company for real estate.  Our growth comes from dealing with real estate professionals; mortgage lenders, real estate agents, buyers and sellers of real property.  Our business is evenly divided between commercial and residential transactions.
 
Because Trustmark is locally owned and operated, we earn our business based on service and performance.  We aresmall enough to know you and large enough to serve you, with the ability to insure any single transaction up to $820 million.
 
"Being a member of the Chamber allows us to meet and network with other professionals in the real estate community and with other Edmond businesses.  Being a part of the Chamber allows us to give back to the community that our employees live and work."
