Power House

When to compete and when to complement with Marc Trachtenberg


Listen Later

In this episode, HousingWire president Diego Sanchez interviews Marc Trachtenberg, CEO of Silk Title Co. They explore the dominance of the "Big Four" in the title market and how Silk Title's model complements rather than competes with them. Marc also shares insights from the recent RealEdge conference and discusses adapting to new technologies, fostering collaboration, and educating consumers about the title process.

Don't miss Marc at the upcoming IMB Summit on October 1 in Dallas, where he'll delve into Silk Title's vision for the future of the title industry. 

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Collaboration, rather than competition within the industry can lead to better outcomes for everyone.
  • Diverse perspectives and consumer education are crucial for the industry's success.
  • There is a significant lack of consumer education regarding the title process and its costs, and that needs to change.
  • The title industry needs to redefine its approach to remain relevant in a changing market.
  • Understanding risk and title alternatives is essential for both consumers and industry professionals.
