Description

In this eye-opening episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady sits down with Andrew “Dru” Wischhover, President of Inspired Title Group, Inc., to unpack one of the most overlooked yet mission-critical aspects of every real estate transaction: title insurance. While agents often dismiss title as an afterthought, Dru reveals why ignoring it until there’s a problem can cost deals, clients, and millions in claims.From breaking down the differences between attorney states and title states, to explaining exactly what title insurance does (and doesn’t) cover, this conversation delivers practical knowledge agents can apply immediately. Dru shares real-world horror stories, insider examples of liens and encumbrances gone wrong, and the surprising ways smaller boutique title companies can often provide more flexibility and protection than big-box operators.Looking forward, the two also discuss how AI, blockchain, and industry regulation are reshaping the future of title — and why the “human element” still matters more than ever. If you’ve ever glazed over the title section of a deal, this episode will change the way you think about protecting your clients and your business.⏱️Timestamps & Key Topics[00:00:00] – Introduction & quick correction on Inspired Title’s nationwide reach[00:01:30] – Why agents don’t think about title until it’s too late[00:02:22] – Attorney states vs. title/escrow states explained[00:05:40] – Title insurance 101: what it actually covers[00:07:00] – Horror stories: liens, divorces, and claims gone wrong[00:12:48] – How the title industry shifted after 2008 & regulation changes[00:16:33] – Competing with “big-box” title companies & boutique advantages[00:17:50] – AI, blockchain, and the future of title insurance[00:20:53] – When something is (and isn’t) insurable[00:23:35] – Why smaller firms can be more client-centric than large underwriters🔗 Related Resources Below:🌐 For more information on Harcourts Auctions our non-distressed auction platform feel free to visit https://www.harcourtsauctions.com🔗 Connect with Dru Wischhover and Inspired Title Group:https://www.inspired-title.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-closing-table/id1733674495https://www.facebook.com/InspiredTitleGroup/https://www.instagram.com/inspired_title_group/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dru-wischhover/🔗 Connect with Ben Brady and Harcourts Auctions:⁠Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Benbradyharcourts⁠⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-brady-0b223517⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harcourtsauctions⁠⁠Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HarcourtsAuctions⁠👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share so more agents can level up their business.
