title insurance: Tomorrow is TOT & I know you're Excited! - 09/29/14 05:20 AM
Tomorrow is Title Order Tuesday here at Franklin Title Agency - I know you're excited about it but, we may be just a bit more... I highly suggest ordering title on any listing or 'pocket listing' that you have the second that they agree to sell through you. I have seen too many times Realtors order title later in the process, whether it be in waiting for a buyer or simply forgetting. This does nothing but hold up the closing in the process and that doesn't work for anyone involved. We always want to make you look like an All-Star. You … (0 comments)

title insurance: Buying Business is just simply Not an Option in My World - 01/16/14 05:29 AM
Buying Business is just simply Not an Option in My World, period. 
As a Title Insurance Company - My entire business plan is, was, and has always been based on building strong relationships with my clients in terms of supporting each others business from referrals, networking, marketing, connecting, brainstorming, lead generation, education, availability and flexability. NOT by buying business from potential clients to earn their next deal - It completely cheapens not only our profession but, our industry as a whole and quite frankly - it simply appears desperate ...not to mention all the RESPA and State compliance violations.
I've been … (2 comments)

title insurance: Title Insurance Companies These Days - 10/07/13 04:29 AM
It's October - The fourth quarter of 2013 right now and 5-6 years after the Real Estate market imploded and most title insurance companies shut their doors, downsized, and or merged. 
It's a different world for title insurance companies in terms of compliance, RESPA, rules, and regulations in how title companies operate, earn and conduct business, as well as work with their underwriters ...and this is best for all parties involved. 
I have been hearing from a lot of Real Estate Agents and Realtors that title companies are holding up deals and or killing deals all together. Well, this goes back … (0 comments)
