No cost to register.

Join us for a webinar presentation which frames the changes about to affect your agency, and provides ways you can adapt right now.

Moderators:

Rick Diamond, Vice President of I.T., Agency Operations, WFG National Title Insurance Company

Charles Cain, SVP, Agency, Midwest, WFG National Title Insurance Company

What your agency did to be successful in the past will likely not be enough to succeed in 2014 and beyond.  Regulatory changes, market shifts and new client demands all mean that title agents will have to reconsider the way they do business…and soon.   On December 17, join us to consider some of the new challenges emerging for title agents as well as two real solutions available to WFG agents. 
  • How does your agency ensure data security as will be required by the CFPB and your lending clients?  To what extent does your e-mail need to be encrypted?  Is your firewall adequate?  How secure is your network, and is that secure enough?
  • Will your methods for ensuring data integrity—especially where inaccurate data could negatively affect closing tolerance–meet the standards required by your lenders?
  • How does an agent undertake the very real operational changes that will be required by lenders, underwriters and enforcement agencies while maintaining his or her margins?
  • Are your settlement, closing and even recording procedures in line with new consumer protection requirements?
 
This is a free webinar open to title agents, settlement services professionals, real estate attorneys and industry executives who take their operations practices and compliance strategies seriously.   Expect future seminars on topics of interest to you from WFG National Title Insurance Company, a partner and trusted resource for title agents nationwide.
