North American Title Insurance Co. (NATIC) has promoted Michele Ponce to state agency manager, Florida, the company announced.
Formerly NATIC’s agency relationship manager, Ponce’s focus will be South Florida.
Additionally, NATIC said it hired Angie Haddon as state agency manager, Florida, with an emphasis on the Tampa, Fla., region. The company said Ponce and Haddon will work closely with Geoff Harris, assistant vice president, regional agency manager.
“The individual attention we give to every agent on every level of their business has always been paramount at NATIC,” Harris said in a release. “While deepening our footprint in key Florida markets, this type of loyalty and steadfast commitment requires a growth in resources.
“Promoting Michele to state agency manager and adding Angie’s title operations expertise offers an opportunity to build strong relationships with new agents and add two more dependable resources for those agents who are already part of our robust network,” Harris said.
Ponce served four years as a business consultant for North American Title Co. prior to joining NATIC. She has more than three decades of experience as a sales professional.
“With deep roots in title and real estate, I am uniquely situated to help agents attract new business,” Ponce said. “I am that conduit between our title agents and the real estate industry in the Miami market, and will utilize my broad connections to cultivate new, productive and mutually rewarding relationships for our agents.”
Haddon previously served as chief of operations for a title agency in Tampa, where she managed staff for seven locations, which involved recruitment, training, sales, marketing, client relations, and negotiating and closing deals.
“With over a decade of knowledge gleaned in title operations, all of my agents will greatly benefit from our partnership,” Haddon said. “I am ready and excited to draw from my day-to-day title experiences and connections to help those that want to take their companies to the next level.”
