Stewart Title named Scott Fallar as a senior underwriting counsel for the Florida team. He will provide Stewart partners and Florida agents with underwriting support and solutions for local transactions.
“The addition of Scott to our Florida team is another bold step in our mission to become the premier title services company,” Senior Vice President and Southeast States District Agency Manager Jay Reed said in a release. “We are sure that he will add another layer of professionalism, expertise and success to our Florida underwriting team.”
Fallar was in private practice in Jacksonville, Fla., for more than 20 years and formerly an agent for Stewart Title. In addition to transactional and closing work, he represented developers, builders, lenders, families and real estate investors with acquisitions, construction loans, sale outs, spreader mortgages, platting, zoning, easements, probate and bankruptcy.
He also spent nine years at Fidelity National Financial, according to his LinkedIn profile, where he worked as a state and regional counsel.
“I began my legal career in 1989 as a real estate attorney and as an agent for Stewart Title,” Fallar said. “Now, 30 years later, I am back where it all began and working for the best underwriter in the title business. Stewart Title has always had the best team of underwriters, examiners, closers and sales representatives. It is my privilege to now join them.”
