Cleveland Housing Network Classes Impressive

Once and sometimes twice a month Renee, a title consultant and workshop presenter and I teach a class on title insurance and settlement proceedures at their facility in Cleveland. These classes teach all phases on buying a home - from budgeting for home ownership, insurance, loan approval etc. In an ideal world, I wish anyone wanting a piece of the AMERICAN Dream would be required to take classes first. A LOT OF FORECLOSURES would have been avoided!
My hat's off to all who take the time to learn. The dedicated staff are great folks and great to work with.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to be a part of your valuable program.

A Good Sign For NEO Real Estate

WE had a very busy day....
It started out with a nice Gentleman from N.Olmsted who walked in with a purchase agreement for a condo. He told us the LO from Key Bank recommended Gateway Title. I don't know the LO, but I send my "thanks"!
It seems that many buyers and sellers are related, friends or have mutual friends who helped them get together and they end up putting a deal together!
They don't need an agent to list the property. They need a title company to it all keep together and walk them through the closing.That's where Gateway shines!
We have put a lot of time and effort into our free "Starter Kit". The purchase agreement,prepared by our attorney,is easy to understand. All of the required disclosures are in there. We are a great source of support for buyers and sellers. There is no charge for this valuable information.
Our workshops bring the experts to consumers.We even take our show on the road when asked.
This is a service a love to do. I guess we are even passionate about helping. I shout it out to the world as often as I can.
There are lenders who keep a supply of our kits and give them to their customers when they find a home to buy. It's actually fun to do what we do and it makes life so simple for everyone involved!
