OneTitle National Guaranty Company, Inc. and HomeSmartNY formed a partnership to bring information and training on title insurance to housing counselors from more than 70 housing counseling agencies across New York State as well as their clients.
This announcement is another step in OneTitle’s continuing effort to make homes and mortgages more affordable in New York State by reducing title-related closing costs, according to the OneTitle’s announcement.
OneTitle also announced earlier this month that Gail Kresge joined the company as vice president, bringing her industry experience and long tenure at the State of New York Mortgage Agency (SONYMA), where she worked to help New Yorkers purchase homes.
“OneTitle is thrilled to be working with HomeSmartNY and its members throughout New York State,” OneTitle President and CEO Daniel C. Price said. “We both share a commitment to sustainable homeownership through education and both believe strongly that quality consumer education can make a difference. HomeSmartNY’s mission to help New York homebuyers make smart financial choices is a great fit with OneTitle’s mission to bring lower rates and better service to New York consumers.”
On Oct. 20, OneTitle will present an exclusive webinar for HomeSmartNY members to discuss the role that title insurance, title issues, and title-related closing costs play in the home purchasing process. HomeSmartNY members and others interested in joining the webinar should contact Susan Belanich ([email protected]).
OneTitle also will participate in HomeSmartNY regional chapter trainings and direct-to-consumer homebuyer education classes over the next several months, providing information to members and the borrowers they serve.
