Western Title staff receives certification
Stacy Spickes, co-founder and president of America¹s Home Rescue, announced
that they have awarded Certified Default Resolution Closing Specialist
certification to the 11 members of the escrow and marketing teams of Western
Title Company of Carson City.
Western Title is the only Northern Nevada title company to receive the
designation.
The CDRCS certification is unique to the real estate industry. It focuses
specifically on the information, tools and processes needed for the escrow
officers and closing attorneys in the proper closing of a short sale
transaction.
"It is imperative that closing officers have a course that is unique to
them, apart from what real estate agents need to know," Spickes said.
"I think this is a great course and it¹s great to find a designation for the
title and escrow industry," said Chad Felix, sales manager at Western Title.
Western Title Company is one of the largest insurance agencies in Northern
Nevada and has been serving the area since 1902.
