Hi everyone this is Ben from BOSS Construction over here with Todd Weston a great personal friend and amazing leader in the real estate industry helping agents close transactions with Coastal Title

Todd Weston

now are you saying he’s Ben or your Ben?

Benjamin Sens

I’m Ben that Santiago Okay.

Todd Weston

Hi Santiago, good to see you.

Benjamin Sens

And and

Todd Weston

Yes

Benjamin Sens

Not only are we personal friends and not only do I know all of your profession.

How long have you known him

I’ve known Santiago since I was ten. I wanna, I wanna I want to talk about, we see each other at a lot of events where the Miami Dade Women’s Council at the Rusty Pelican right now. You’ve been involved in the boards and educating agents and helping them find resolution and close deals.

Todd Weston

Of course, yeah, you gotta be there for the agent. You have to give them what they expect and anticipate. And you have to get back to the community and this, this is what a better opportunity to be at this installation banquet this evening.

Benjamin Sens

We do Make a Wish here. I mean, we get involved with Honor Flights, all these nonprofits, which is amazing. Yes, it’s remarkable.

Todd Weston

Oh, it’s incredible.

Benjamin Sens

And what I want to talk about real quickly, is I want to talk about an attorney owned and operated title company and what that means to someone closing a deal.

Todd Weston

But you know, it’s interesting because I represent several title companies that are, do not have attorney owned. And as a result, I see a lot of errors, mistakes, and issues that come up that they cannot resolve or handle. So they have to go to outsource it. And so that gives an opportunity, obviously, to create work for us. But I think that any any agent that is into the representing their client effectively or giving them the best services, I think they’re doing a disservice when they do not have an attorney based title company, because there’s a lot more expertise. So those we, we not only get together and write the laws, but we evaluate them, we fight for them, we challenge them. We interpret them, we

do everything we can and that’s what’s fun,

Benjamin Sens

and not everything’s like, not everything’s cookie cutter, you as an attorney, you get involved in probate you get involved in estates, right?

Todd Weston

It’s almost

Benjamin Sens

like involved in leases

Todd Weston

Figured this way

Benjamin Sens

commercial leases

Todd Weston

you’re watching a movie, and you see the movie and you say to yourself, how did that actor perform? Did they know their lines? How was the camera angle, everything that you can possibly think of you start looking and saying this

Benjamin Sens

Like we’re doing now.

Todd Weston

Exactly. So you critique it. And I think that they fail to critique the deal. What they do is they say sign, come together, and they don’t realize that’s the most important investment that anybody makes in their lifetime bigger than a car, bigger than then then in leasing an apartment, it’s a purchase. It’s hundreds of thousands of dollars that they’re they’re banking on whoever’s doing the work is going to do it right. And that’s the sad part is is that sometimes they rely upon the wrong people, and they don’t know any better. So we’ve got to educate them and that’s our job is educating them to know why you want an attorney based title company, and why you want someone who really looks at the title work and what’s behind it, and just like you do in your business

Benjamin Sens

in what you remind me of, and I’m not saying this because of your looks you remind me of the show Botched because you get botched deals, you get issues with title,
