First National Title Insurance Co. (FNTI) has hired Susan Stewart as Western Region Agency representative, the company announced.
In her new role, Stewart will conduct sales and bring on new agents in Colorado, Utah and Nevada.
“FNTI is building one of the deepest benches of talent that exists in the industry,” Western Region Manager Brian Phillips said in a release. “I am so excited to be working alongside Susan instead of watching, and sometimes losing to her, as a competitor for many years.
“Susan’s 20 years of experience in title, escrow, and sales makes her the perfect partner to help agents grow and maximize the tools and resources we offer,” Phillips said.
Stewart previously served as vice president of sales and marketing and director of business development for two Denver-area title companies. Prior to that, she worked as a senior account manager and title insurance assistant for an escrow company and a title insurance agency in California.
“My diversified career in mortgage, title, escrow, and sales has provided me with a strong book of knowledge about all facets of title insurance,” Stewart said. “In addition, my experience at the third-largest agency in Colorado taught me to effectively handle the unique challenges and demands that title agencies deal with every day. I look forward to sharing my technology-based systems approach to building and developing growth strategies for my agency partners.”
FNTI is licensed in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee with expansion plans in 2021 to include 11 additional states.
“Our expanding footprint and the addition of this outstanding team has created new opportunities for us, and I am impressed with what Brian and his team have accomplished in such a short time,” FNTI President and CEO Chris Phillips said.
