Title insurance protects real estate buyers and lenders from financial loss due to defects in the title of the property, and every investor should consider title insurance a vital part of the buying process.

 

“Texas Title Queen” Rachel Luna joins us today to talk about best practices for purchasing title insurance. She goes over the rates and fees involved in the transaction, what mistakes to avoid, and how we can leverage our relationships to find the right title insurance company for our business. She also gives her perspective on the impact of digitization and cryptocurrency in the title real estate industry and the way it is evolving for the future. 

 

With 11k+ followers on Instagram, Rachel has amassed a following with her dynamic personality and fabulous brand. She is a principal at Patriot Title Company and is one of just two women who own a medium-sized title business in Texas. She is also an expert in real estate escrow and closing service and has over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry. As a powerful female entrepreneur, Rachel distinguishes herself outside the norm of title insurance by modernizing how the industry is portrayed and sharing her climb to the top from humble beginnings.

The inaugural InvestHER CON was unforgettable.

You laughed with us.

You cried with us.
