I’ve been alive ever since I was born…I’m going to live forever! Flawed logic can only take one so far. My team and I sell and work with a lot of title companies and see many distinct behavior and attitude patterns. Some agency owners view the world like the guy who crashes his car into […]

Do your title sales reps think a CD is something that plays music? Or that a PSA is a ‘Public Service Announcement’? The more title companies we sell, the more we learn about what buyers value most. How your reps perform is something that is not lost on buyers. They look. They care. A proper due diligence […]

FSBO the creepy title clown Everyone knows the pitfalls of a FSBO deal in a residential buy-sell. Studies show that FSBOs sell for less, spend more time on the market and often are beset with problems that just don’t happen when a professional is involved. Why would anyone think selling a title agency is any […]
‘Twas the Night Before ChristmasWhen all through the AgencyThe printers were whirringWhile sellers sat impatiently.
