OAITA Preparing to Mobilize National
Effort
September 7, 2008
Apparently, good ideas to help fix the title insurance and
real estate industry are not confined to the OAITA.
Since OAITA went "live" we have received many comments
from other title insurance agents and real estate professionals
outside of Ohio. The comments have ranged from "bravo!"
to "when can we start one in (insert state name here)."
Seizing upon this opportunity, we have held informal discussions
with representatives from several states who believe, like
we do, that it is time for independent title agents and independent
real estate professionals to create a national independent
organization and begin taking the policy fight to each of
our respective states. So far, we've heard from representatives
from AK, MN, CO, IN, PA, NJ, MD & DC. We hope that more
folks (with equal issues at stake) will join the group.
On Monday, October 6, 2008, members of OAITA and representatives
from states across the country will be participating in a
national convention in Independence, Ohio to organize and
form the country's first national independent title agent
and real estate professional association. For independent
title agents, this is the equivalent of the founding act on
a national stage. The goal is to create a national organization
that answers only to needs of the independent title agent
and independent real estate professional. Your help to that
effort is critical!
