The Greatest Title Sales Rep in the World
Real Estate agent partnerships form constantly. Partnerships with lenders, Title Companies,inspectors, etc. People form these partnerships because they believe by doing so it will improve their business and make their life easier. Sometimes this is true, other times it is not. This is more true than in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC area. Here “Joint Ventures and MSA’s” (Market Service Agreements) are a large way that many of the Title Companies gain their business. Title Insurance Sales Reps play a different role here to their agent and lender partners. I have been in this area since 2012 and working like mad everyday to overturn how Title Sales people are viewed by real estate agents and mortgage lenders. This brings me to an email I received from a mortgage lender client. *snippet
Hey man, I’m really up and running, working with many agents in several high producing offices. I’m literally building an army of agents, which only you understand the effect marketing has on agents. I have meetings set up 7 new and top agents next week. Problem is, they want us to use Their Title Guy, but Their Title Guy offers zero value. You will be able to help them and gain their business no problem with your expertise! I need to get you in front of these people and open their eyes. I fully trust Stewart Title with my deals and is an advocate for Stewart with the agents.
After reading that email it made me realize that I’m always competing against this phantom person…Their Title Guy. Who is Their Title Guy? Why do agents/lenders want to use this person for business? Perhaps it is because they have never met DCTitleGuy, the good guy that spends his day/week creating positive real estate agent partnerships and helping them expand their business. Is there a major difference between DCTitleGuy and is arch nemesis, Their Title Guy? Here they are:
Their Title Guy
All of our competitors have this person working for them. Their Title Guy can take many forms so watch out! He/She is an attorney, other times it is a “sales person” that offers you marketing gimmicks from their company that won’t grow or enhance your business. Here are other traits that describe Their Title Guy:
- Offers little to no value to your real estate business/No marketing tools
- Expects your business through a Joint Venture or MSA. Doesn’t think they need to earn it.
- Teaches CE Classes only, not anything that will help you with Real Estate marketing or Lead Generation for more clients/business. Credits…YES. More business? NO.
- Will give you several Title Company marketing gimmicks-coffee mugs, pens, pads, flashlights, day-planners then asks for your next deal.
- Can’t answer real estate marketing questions, but instead says he/she doesn’t offer that service, and tells you about their online fee generator.
- When you hear an Agent say “My broker says we need to use XYZ Title Company.” That is also the work of Their Title Guy.
- High turnover in this position and not great at forming Real Estate Agent partnerships.
