Do you suffer from ITB? In-House Title Blues ...Feeling forced to use a title insurance and closing company that treats you like a number? Over charges your clients? Is not willing to close literally anywhere-anytime per your clients schedule and location? WHY are you allowing this to continue when you are your own boss? Let's meet up this week or next per your schedule and discuss over coffee or lunch on me how you and your clients really should be treated. Let me show you how working with the right title insurance and closing company can improve your business overall - Let me know what works for your schedule.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ORDERING PRE-TITLE the minute that you have that new listing so you can get the jump on whatever may be hiding whether that be ownership issues, back taxes, liens, outstanding water bills, HOA liens, etc etc... we are here to make you look like an All-Star and in doing that we want you to be ahead of the curve - Order title today (or tomorrow bring that it IS Title order Tuesday). Waiting will only hold up closing - Trust me, I've seen it far too many times in my 14 years in this business.  

Thank you for taking the time in reading this email and as always - we here at Franklin Title Agency appreciate you and your title & closing business across the state of Michigan. Have a Great day and week ahead - again, let me know what works for your schedule for this or next week,  

Make this a Positive Day ...unless you've made other plans,

Keith Stonehouse
