Career Dilemma - Robert Franco/OH

Searching for a job in the title industry is tough right now - with or without a license.  Title agencies are seeing a shrinking client base.  Countrywide is gone, Merrill Lynch merged with Bank of America, PNC bought National City, etc.  This means that many of the decisions of which title agencies will get the work are now being made by fewer people.  In addition, with home sales off many Realtors are not renewing their licenses - more than 700 did not renew this year.  This all means that title companies are cutting back - they don't need more licensed agents right now.

I am also perplexed by the number of licenses you hold - 27 states seems like too much to manage efficiently.  I really don't understand how it is even possible to maintain so many licenses.  It must be extremely difficult to find CE courses that are approved in that many states.  My guess is that it is also tough to maintain proficiency with the state laws varying so much.  You may be more marketable if you focus on one or two states.  This may just be my opinion, but I would be wary of a resume crossing my desk touting licensing in 27 states. I would wonder how well you could possibly know the nuances of all of them.  I am licensed only in Ohio and there are times that I have trouble keeping up on all the changes.

I don't know who your former employer was, but I'm guessing it was a "title-factory" that pumped out cookie-cutter policies without really understanding the title issues of each state they operated in.  Those companies function on whole different level from the smaller title agencies and your potential job market may be limited to another employer with nationwide operations. 

Sadly, this is just not a good time to be job hunting in this industry no matter how well you are qualified.  You may want to broaden your job search to include law firms that may need a paralegal with a firm grasp of real estate... as you mentioned, there are a lot of foreclosures.

Best,
Robert A. Franco
