Seminars and Courses for Title Agents
Becoming a title agent isn’t difficult to do. However, it does take patience, a willingness to learn, and good courses like the AMS Class Training Seminar taking place in New Jersey. The seminar takes place over a 5-consecutive-day period in March of 2009, and you can choose to participate in the morning or evening course.
This particular course is delivered by the American School of Business and its purpose is to prepare title agent students to take the New Jersey Title Insurance Producers Exam. All students must attend all sessions and receive a score of over 70% on the final exam to receive a certificate of completion.
Students wishing to receive their licenses and become title insurance agents aren’t limited to the upcoming New Jersey seminars, however. Multiple cities and towns in every American state often play host to title agent licensing courses. If you’re looking to finalize your education and finally become a licensed title agent, there’s bound to be a similar course near you.
The Valley Meets its Peak
Many title agents and those looking to become title agents were severely deterred after the housing bubble burst and left America in a state of panic. Both long-time agents and many on the cusp of their licenses began seeking new opportunities. But were things ever as bad as once stated?
The talk throughout the country was panic-stricken, but the talk inside the industry slowly started to level out. The advice given to worried title agents: Wait out the storm. As advertised, the “crisis” was bad, but after the numbers became public that only 9% of subprime homeowners were defaulting on their mortgages, the mass hysteria has turned to a manageable melee.
With President Obama’s new housing plan set to realign the natural order, the prospect of home ownership once again becomes a dream and not a nightmare. Title agents will be needed; and if you’re hoping to pursue this type of career, know that your services as a title agent will be required after the smoke clears.
