The title industry is gaining momentum legislatively in both Wisconsin and DC. In the old days, many agents cared mostly about the happenings in their sole county. Now since few agents write policies in a single county, every issue that pops up generates interest no matter the issue.
We have had great success rallying support for the Mortgage Satisfaction Act and we'll have an interesting set of hearings on the Homestead issue.
Lastly, on a national level, ALTA had a record-breaking 250 attendees storm the hill in DC. For the first time in ALTA history,
ALTA members outdrew the Mortgage Bankers Association's lobby day.
The Wisconsin delegation sent 9 people to the hill - also a record.
Momentum--momentum--momentum!
