Jack Butala:                   Jack Butala here, for Land Academy. Welcome to our "Cash Flow from Land" show once again. In this episode, Jill and I talk about our licensing deal, our brand-new licensing deal with First American Title. I'll tell you, I couldn't be more excited about this topic and actually doing this podcast. Say, right before we do this, before we get started, let's take a question from a caller today. I think that you brought it up right before the show.

Jill DeWit:                            We do have people call in and leave questions for us, and I'd like to answer one right now from Martin in southern Arizona. Martin called in and asked this: "I'm a licensed agent and I'm having difficulty getting comfortable completing my own transactions without an escrow or a title agent. What do you recommend?"

Jack Butala:                   What I think he really means, and this is a very common issue with ... I'm so glad, by the way, that this person called in, because I think this can really help a lot of people.

Jill DeWit:                            It's a good question.

Jack Butala:                   Many of the members that we have are real estate agents or former real estate agents. A couple of people come to mind who are recently retired and extremely seasoned real estate agents who made enough to retire on buying and selling homes and land and ranches for other people, representing other people.

Here's how it goes, and when ... I think this is a great question, because a lot of very seasoned people and a lot of real estate agents, once they negotiate the deal or help the buyer and the seller get to an agreement to sell their property or buy their property, they shove it off to a title or an escrow agent, who are, by the way, some of my favorite people on the planet. I've had many, many, many, and have many, former escrow and title people ...

Jill DeWit:                            Many? How many?

Jack Butala:                   Many, many. They send the deal over to the title escrow agent, and then no one talks for, what, 15 days, and they magically produce all the papers to sign.

Jill DeWit:                            Right, then a few e-mails, and then that's it.

Jack Butala:                   The agents never learn to do their own deal, like Jill does, that her staff does all the time. They don't physically produce a deed. They don't arrange for signatures and do all kind of the paperwork piece of this. Martin is a little gun-shy, a little bit, and probably a little ... I have to congratulate him for at least bringing it up. A lot of people are real embarrassed about it.

Jill DeWit:                            Just to say that?

Jack Butala:                   Lot of real estate people, yeah.

Jill DeWit:                            I have one that I'm doing right now.

Jack Butala:                   Let's hear it.

Jill DeWit:                            Have I told you about this? I have a real estate agent who reached out to me months ago, and connected with me on a real estate form that we share, that we're involved in. Not our own, it's a different one. Anyway. Next thing you know, he's bringing deals to me. I'm like, "Wait a minute. I thought he was reaching out to me because he wanted to learn to do what we're doing," which I think he does, but he's so ... It's just like this. He must be gun-shy, because he's negotiating the deal and then handing the whole thing to me, and I'm like ...

Jack Butala:                   Because you're the title agent.

Jill DeWit:                            Because I ap...
