Andrea Alderman Keith is the new northwest regional underwriting counsel for North American Title Insurance Co. (NATIC.) She will provide underwriting guidance, support and education to title agents and affiliates in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
“Andrea’s strong customer communication skills, training talents and thoughtful but business-oriented underwriting approach make her a valuable resource for our agents and affiliates in the western state markets,” NATIC Executive Vice President and Chief Underwriting Counsel Valerie Jahn-Grandin said in a release. “She also will prepare us for market shifts with her substantial experience in REO and foreclosure matters.”
Alderman Keith spent several years as an in-house attorney for a national title insurance company. She also worked as a regional title officer in the California market, specializing in servicing lenders’ foreclosure and real estate owned (REO) needs, and as a foreclosure litigator for a Florida law firm.
“I’ve been both a buyer and a seller in real estate transactions, and I understand the frustrations of the traditional closing process,” Alderman Keith said. “Having worked for many years as an in-house attorney for a national title company, I know what kind of support agents are looking for in order to provide both timely and quality service to their customers.”
Alderman Keith earned a bachelor of science degree in sociology from Florida State University and her juris doctor from Stetson University College of Law. She is a Washington licensed attorney and a member of the Washington Land Title Association and the King County Bar Association.
“As a Washington resident, I am excited to serve the northwest region and work for a company that has the underwriting expertise of NATIC and the innovation of Doma under one roof,” she said.
