NEW EPISODE: Season 3 Episode 20
What Is the Title Industry Really Selling? – TJ Harrington
Listen as Stewart Lender Services Senior Vice President TJ Harrington challenges and reframes the way the title industry thinks about itself during this episode of October Research’s Keys to Real Estate podcast, with host Mary Schuster. The two subject matter experts explore what business title companies are really in, why the industry's invisible work creates enormous value, discuss questions that linger about attorney opinion letters (AOLs) and the pilot programs offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and why the true value of title insurance has never been a more important story to tell. This isn't another discussion about AI replacing jobs or title alternatives. It’s a conversation about why title insurance exists in the first place.
