How to Conduct Closings for
Residential Refinances,
Residential Sales, and HELOC loans
February 12, 2025
from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.
Cost: $300.00
Title insurance licensing courses don’t effectively teach you how to perform residential settlements/closings in Maryland. You can obtain a title insurance license without having any idea how to perform a closing as a TIPIC or title company employee!
Mr. Livornese has performed literally thousands of residential settlements. Not all
residential closings are the same! You will learn the following:
-
How to present a typical residential loan package
-
How to present title company documents, including the deed and disclosure forms
-
How to perform a residential refinance closing
-
How to perform a residential purchase/sale closing
-
How to perform a closing for a residential HELOC loan
The skills learned in this course will immediately translate into guiding you to perform residential closings in Maryland. Note that each state has different closing requirements.
A one-size, fit all course found online will not get you very far in doing Maryland-specific closings!
How to Review Title Abstracts, Determine Real Property Ownership,
and Prepare Title Commitments
February 19, 2025
from 5:30 – 9:00 p.m.
Cost $250.00
One of the most important jobs within any title insurance agency is the “Title Processor”position.
This job includes the requirement to review title insurance abstracts, to produce title insurance
commitments, and to obtain payoffs from valid lien and judgment holders for any parcel of real property.
This 3-hour course will take you through the basic steps of analyzing title insurance abstracts and title documents to determine who is in title to the property, and who needs to be paid off at closing.
You will analyze 3 separate title abstracts for actual properties located in Maryland. You will learn which judgments and liens must be satisfied, and which ones can be overlooked.
Most importantly, you will learn how to prepare a title commitment from the information
contained in the title abstract. This is a coveted skill required by every title insurance
agency, and can lead to job opportunities that having a license and no further education
may not get you!
The class is taught by Ned Livornese, whose “day job” requires him to review 500 –1,000 pages of title abstracts almost ever working day!
