Probably bc it’s an affiliate and they get a kick back.

Relax Pal, I think you’re reading too much into the term “kickback”. People can call it an affiliate agreement and disclose it, but ultimately, it’s a kickback to the realtor.

They all do the same thing. Realtors have good relations, know they’ll get the work done as they like etc but tbh titles rarely do kickbacks. Same for inspection recommendations or lender recommendations. A good realtor has a good Rolodex of people to call on to keep things moving quickly.

Agreed

A title company gives me a steak dinner once a year and if I had to recommend to a title company I'd suggest them (tho I represent lenders so have no say in it)


The reality is they all do the same work and are confined, by statute, to charge the same. That company is just as good as the next.

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
