The Approach
Three habits from the title industry that never left
Read Everything Early
Problems found in week one are inexpensive. The same problems found the week of closing cost deals. Every file gets read in full, up front.
Verify, Never Assume
Payoff figures, recorded satisfactions, permit status, board requirements — confirmed against the record, not taken on faith.
Say It Plainly
Clients sign what they understand — nothing else. Straight answers, in plain English, including the ones that are inconvenient.
