Get the networking events worth showing up to

Tell us where you are. We will send you the best rooms for title companies and the next meeting dates. Add a ZIP and this page will also show your local chapters and which seats are open.

Most business owners network where their competitors are, not where their referral partners are.

Your own trade group is for learning. Your partners' groups are where the work comes from. Everything below starts with one question. When something happens that makes people need title companies, who else gets a call that same week?

Title companies sell to both individuals and businesses, and most of the work starts when somebody buys a house. It moves fast, so being the name already in hand matters more than being the cheapest. Clients return now and then, so the introduction has to keep paying off.

What starts the work
  • Home purchasewhen somebody buys a house
  • Home salewhen somebody puts a house on the market
  • Financing or refinancewhen somebody needs a loan closed
  • Commercial property acquisitionwhen an investor or operator buys a commercial building
  • Death / probatewhen somebody dies and an estate has to be settled
  • Divorcewhen a marriage ends

The competitor trap

Land title association

Most title companies join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Title agents and closing lawyers. They touch every deal on its last day. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licences, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.

Land title association →

Let us be straight with you. For title companies, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.
