So, as you know - I have done some networking to build my brand, my client base, my referral partners, and ultimately my company - As a Title Insurance Company my networking differs from that of a Realtor or Mortgage Loan Officer who market mostly direct to the end consumer (the buyer, the borrower, the seller, and the investor) … (2 comments)
