| Landsafe to build full-time nationwide staff of 500 appraisers by year end It’s by all accounts an ambitious initiative, which some view as risky. The staff appraiser business model, while very successful for smaller firms across the country, has failed on a large scale as evidenced by Primis a few years ago, and Strategic Mortgage Services (formerly TRW Real Estate Loan Services) in the early 1990s. read more in Appraisal Intelligence >> |

introducing Settlement Services IQ | |||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Back in 1999 when we introduced The Title Report, one of our most valuable assets was our originality. What was different about the newsletter? Its message and its language. No one talked about the business the way we did. We’d like to believe that we helped shape a new conversation about the role of title insurance within the real estate and mortgage transaction and the nature of competition among settlement service providers. And along the way came The Legal Description, Appraisal Intelligence, Real Estate Technology Insight and RESPAnews.com. Today, nearly four years later, the discussion about our business has changed. Markets are converging; services are being bundled, single priced packages are being offered to the consumer and creative revenue sharing agreements are being entered into between the real estate, mortgage and settlement service industries. Our suite of newsletters for settlement service professionals provides original content, exclusive reports and unique approaches to feature stories. And that is why we have introduced Settlement Services IQ. It is our way each week of letting you in on the conversation now taking place about the settlement services business. Sincerely, |
