WFG National Title Insurance Co. (WFG) recently added two underwriters in Michigan. Rachel Richardson and Tory Vincent will both serve as Michigan state counsel and national agency counsel.
“It is difficult to find underwriters with the type of multi-state experience that Rachel and Tory bring to WFG,” Director of Underwriting Services Alan Fields said in a release. “We are pleased to add them to the team supporting our national agents and know their talent and expertise will help our Michigan team rank among the nation’s best.”
“Rachel and Tory each bring a wealth of industry knowledge to WFG and we’re extremely excited to have them on our Michigan team,” Vice President, Great Plains and Great Lakes Region Agency Manager Patrick Malone added. “Both come to us from the retail side of our business, which uniquely enables them to understand, relate to and effectively address the unique issues and underwriting needs of our agency customers.”
Richardson, who holds title producer licenses in Michigan and Indiana, comes to WFG after seven years on the legal team at Amrock (formerly Title Source), most recently as associate corporate counsel. She earned her bachelor’s degree in international relations from James Madison College at Michigan State University and holds her law degree from Michigan State University College of Law.
“Rachel has deep experience in Michigan and the upper-Midwest,” Fields said. “And her experience in lobbying and legislative analysis is the icing on the cake.”
“For me, joining WFG was a no-brainer,” Richardson said. “WFG is known throughout the title industry as one of the leading national title insurance underwriters because they continuously strive to provide the best service to their clients. I could not be more excited to be joining the exceptional WFG underwriting team and to be a part of this great culture.”
Vincent also comes to WFG from Amrock, where she concluded eight years on its legal team as associate corporate counsel. She also spent years clerking and volunteering at a full-service law firm starting in high school and interned for Judge Eric Cholack at the Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit.
Vincent earned her bachelor’s degree from Wayne State University and J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School and has been a member of the Michigan Bar since 2013. She also holds title producer licenses in Michigan and Indiana.
“That Tory has deep experience in Michigan courts gives added value to her role as Michigan state counsel,” Fields said. “She will immediately be a valuable resource to our national agents.”
“Joining WFG was an easy and obvious choice for me,” Vincent said. “Before joining, I had years of positive experience working with the talented underwriters at WFG, and it's wonderful to now become one of them and collaborate as a team to create the best agent experience.”
