#199: Daniela DeTommaso - Beating Criminals Through Title Insurance   On this episode, Gary sits down with Daniela DeTommaso, President of First Canadian Title. If you've been following the news recently, you've seen there have been more and more high profile 'property theft' cases; people posing as the owners and selling a property while the real owners are on vacation or out of country. They've even had property showings! How does and how can this happen? Are YOU, your friends and family that are property owners protected? If you're not sure, or perhaps you've never even heard of title insurance, Daniela breaks it all down in this podcast.    As Gary says, repetition is the key to success.

She has been with FCT for over 25 years and, most recently, led the Residential Lending Solutions (RLS) group and FCT's product transformation and data strategy.    Under her strategic leadership, the RLS group expanded from offering only title insurance and mortgage document processing services, to providing an ecosystem of technology, insurance and business process outsourcing products across the real estate lifecycle.    Daniela strongly believes that technology can always be replicated, but the way you make your customers feel cannot. She is focused on building long-term partnerships with our customers by ensuring that they are at the centre of every FCT transaction.    This episode proudly sponsored by Brian Daley @ AGHI Home Inspections.   Whether buying or selling a property, AGHI recognizes that the process can be stressful.
