A message from our CEO

On November 11, 2011 Mid-Atlantic Title Consultants, LLC celebrated its 7th Anniversary. This occasion went by without much fanfare (in fact we didn't even have a cake or balloons), but this day did not pass without reflection over the last seven years.

In 2004 we started out as a very, very small company (if you can call two people a company) that had a tremendous love for the title industry. Many people, over the years, have asked me "How did you come up with this idea?" I find that that answer has never changed - "I didn't know how to do anything else." While this was often said in jest there probably has never been a truer statement. To be able to be part of such an important part of people's lives is something that not everyone can say during their lifetime. Title professionals are able to sit at a closing with first time homebuyers and be a witness to the beginning of the American Dream. Homeownership. It didn't matter if it was a single buyer, a young couple, or an older couple downsizing, the goal was always the same - treat the transaction with the utmost professionalism that it deserves.

Over the years, as we are all too well aware, many people entered the industry for the sole purpose of making a quick buck; thankfully most of these people have moved on (some of them in handcuffs), but they left devastation in their paths and the true professionals to clean up their mess. I commend those professionals that have survived and I wish you tremendous success in the years to come.

As I look back over the years I feel that one of the keys to our success has been that we have been flexible to the ever changing industry while not compromising our morals. Our very, very small company of two has grown tremendously over the years and we owe a very special thanks to our clients who did see that change is not always bad. Our ever growing client base has allowed our group of title professionals to work side by side with them, in a very cost efficient manner, to get the job done.

I have also been very fortunate to have traveled around the country over the last several years meeting so many people within the industry. Quite a few of the people that I have had the opportunity to speak with have been those that I have looked up to as true industry icons. What an honor that has been.

The next seven years will bring on many changes, and we are ready to ride this industry roller coaster with each and every one of you.

A very healthy, safe and profitable New Year to all.
