Our experience with Howard Turk in selling US Title was wonderful. He is the REAL THING, and extremely well connected. My partner and I have worked hard to build our company and it was important to us that we immediately felt we could trust Howard to look after our best interests and exercise judgment prudently. His lifetime of experience and strong reputation in the title industry made all the difference in helping us navigate our transaction to close.

We’re thrilled with the result and whole heatedly recommend anyone considering selling their title agency to call Howard Turk!

Caution!!! Only hire Howard if you want someone with the highest intelligence

Caution!!! Only hire Howard if you want someone with the highest intelligence, sophisticated understanding of the settlement services industry, creative ability to seek out and engineer new opportunities in this space, determination and persistence, along with a tremendous network of industry contacts and resources. He literally has no peer in this business. I have known Howard for 20 + years and can’t think of anyone better qualified than him to help drive your business forward, or arrange an exit sale of your agency. I always keep Howard’s phone # close at hand. He is one of my go-to resources in the title business. He should be in your Rolodex too.

I was introduced to Howard as an industry consultant that was willing and able to help our senior management team with the fine tuning of our organizational set-up and flow chart as we continued to grow.

I was introduced to Howard as an industry consultant that was willing and able to help our senior management team with the fine tuning of our organizational set-up and flow chart as we continued to grow. It didn’t take long to understand his stature in the industry and how large the network was that he was able to tap in to at an instance notice to give additional insight, support and direction. His pedigree in our world is one that has been developed over a number of decades in numerous roles. He seems to be able to integrate is legal background, he is an attorney too, and still blend a common sense approach with a legal one. In the end you will find him easy to talk to and deal with and also feel somewhat protected from a possible legal pitfall. You will also find him open and honest in your discussions with him.

One of Howard’s greatest assets is his ability to create a balance between the areas of sales and operations and not simply focus on one or the other. This has been a huge advantage for us and helped to develop our relationship more quickly. I would recommend this to anyone that is contemplating the use of his services — if you’re open to the inevitability of change, a call to him won’t cost you a dime, the long-term benefits of the relationship could be immense for you and your operation.

Thank you

Title sales is a highly rewarding career, but one filled with ambiguities.

Like so many complex challenges, title sales requires a tightly defined process, well reasoned approaches, realistic expectations and the willingness to work hard. Title 123 provides everything but the work, but if you follow the process you will succeed. This is without question the best sales training ever offered in title sales, and offered at a price so low it should be considered a public service. Do it!

In my twelve years in the title insurance industry, this is the first and only sales training video I have seen specifically tailored to selling title insurance. I think it is an excellent and comprehensive program that will be valuable to both experienced title insurance salespeople and newcomers. I highly recommend it to anyone currently working in sales in the title insurance industry or anyone looking to get involved in the industry. We have made it required viewing for all our salespeople and new trainees.
