Thanks Ryan. I see what you're saying. I alway had a standard exeption in the policy for acreage and just used the same legal description in both. Never had an underwriter take issue with it. Here is the exception language I always used: "Accuracy of area or acreage content not insured." However, ...

How are mitigating the financial risks of canceled files?

Posted By Cheryl Evans 12-03-2025 11:08
Found In Egroup: Open Forum \ view thread
I’ve been thinking a lot about cancellations lately — not the occasional fallout we all expect, but the steady drip that can become a real operational and financial problem for small title agencies. I recently spoke with an agent who was feeling desperation. Last year, 20% of their files canceled. And ...

I've owned 2 title agencies over the years and consulted to countless others. In every one, most of the owners policies we've sold have been enhanced. Have a digital download in my online shop where I've broken down my exact process step-by-step and along with copies of my templates and marketing assets. ...

Wow! What a journey! Thanks for sharing. I always love hearing people's origin stories. It's always something interesting. I started out typing policies for an agency that was a few hundred behind when I was 18. My mom ran a computer consulting business back then and they were her client. And the rest ...

Is homeownership becoming more accessible or less in light of recent regulatory changes?

There’s been a lot happening lately around credit access and fair-lending rules, and I’m trying to wrap my head around what this all means for the housing ecosystem — borrowers, lenders, Realtors, and those of us downstream in title. On one hand, we’ve got big shifts in credit scoring: VantageScore ...

I finally had a chance to sit down and put my thoughts together from ALTA One, and… I couldn't resist turning it into something a little fun. I pulled together the 2025 ALTA One Wicked Awards - not an official thing, obviously - just my way of highlighting the vendors, tools, and moments that genuinely ...

I used Bank United and Qualia for my last title agency. I loved Bank United. Their service was outstanding, the integration & reconcilliation service with Qualia was hugely valuable, and I never once had a problem with not having a local branch. In fact, since there aren't local branches, my banking ...

DC Landlords now responsible for tenant criminal activity??

Trump has just made landlords in DC responsible for the criminal activity of their tenants. How this might play out and what sort of repercussions he can Inflict remains to be seen. I'm thinking, at minimum, it could mean they no longer can get Section 8 housing payments. Anyone else have thoughts on ...

In Pennsylvania, Title professionals are entitled to rely on that payoff for closing. The lender can’t later demand more if payment is made on or before the expiration date—unless they’ve sent a corrected payoff in writing before settlement. H.B.

Hi Annette, We’re seeing a lot of the same challenges—and you’re absolutely right that FinCEN’s time estimates don’t reflect the full picture. Their 20–40 minute range doesn’t account for collecting extra info from buyers/sellers, answering questions throughout the transaction, or getting additional ...

Thomas really said it all, so I'm just here to show my support and sympathy. As per usual, title agents are left with all the responsibility and smallest paycheck in the transaction. I've never seen a lender reject a payoff within the good through window and issue a revised payoff after receiving funds! ...
