More Than Just Paperwork: The True Value of Title w/ Ryan Pulliam

Most agents think title is just another box to check off on the transaction checklist. Or just another vendor involved in the process of buying a home.    But title is a lot more than that.     It's the line of defense between your client and disaster in the case of boundary disputes, fraudulent sellers, and liens from a decade ago.    It eliminates a lot of the stress of buying and selling a home.    On top of that, it's a major partnership that could bring in more business (if you know how to work with them).    In today's market, where fraud is rampant, transactions are complex, and buyers are more cautious than ever, understanding the real role of title is no longer optional. It's essential.    How can agents build stronger relationships with their title company? What mistakes do agents make that lead to headaches (and even liability)?    In this episode, we're joined by Ryan Pulliam, VP and Sales Manager at Ticor Title of Nevada.    We explore how the title industry has evolved, why more agents are leaving deals (and money) on the table, and the silent risks threatening buyers, sellers, and agents alike.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Wire fraud is smarter than you think Even the most cautious buyers still fall victim to fraud. What's the one rule every client must follow to stay protected?   -Title isn't just a formality Most agents treat title like a transaction.
