Doug Thompson is a Vice President of Sales at WFG National Title, the 6th largest underwriter in the nation, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2020. Doug, as leader of his team of title professionals, has 36 years of real estate related industry experience.
In 1985, Doug started his career as a residential realtor with Century 21 Southern California area and enjoyed a successful four year career in real estate sales. He then moved to the escrow/closing sector with a successful term at Burrow Escrow and 1031 Exchange Services where Doug was named ‘Affiliate of the Year’ for the West Orange County Association of Realtors while representing Burrow Escrow. This experience provided Doug with
lessons on just about every aspect of real estate, financing, creative transaction structuring and 1031 Exchanges. In 1993, Doug transitioned into the title industry. Doug used this new opportunity to learn the business from the basics in “searching” all the way to “closings”. It was here that Doug proved to be a true innovator when he created
pre-sale preliminary title and summary grading reports for Fannie Mae short-sale transactions which permanently changed the way the Title Industry works today with short sales.
Doug continued his exceptional growth and innovation for 25 years, soon becoming Vice President of Sales with a large title insurance company. Doug changed along with the industry as the times changed and continued to be a multi-faceted superstar working in residential lending, commercial and default title services. Doug remains consistenly ranked in the top 5% nationally in all sales within the national Title Industry.

Answering all your questions
Title is a bundle of rights in real property. Protecting purchasers and lenders against loss is accomplished by the issuance of a title insurance policy. Usually, during a purchase transaction the lender requests a policy (commonly referred to as the Lender’s Policy) while the buyers receive their own policy (commonly referred to as an Owner’s Policy).
In short, the policy states that if the status of the title to a parcel of real property is other than as represented, and if the insured for that loss and any related legal expenses, up to the face amount of the policy, subject to exceptions and exclusions contained in the policy.
Typically there are two policies issued. The Mortgagee’s Policy insures the lender for the amount of the loan. The Owner’s Policy insures the purchaser for the purchase price.
While the function of most other forms of insurance is risk assumption through the pooling of risks or losses arising out of unforeseen future events (such as sickness or accidents), the primary purpose of title insurance is to eliminate risks and prevent losses caused by defects in title arising out of events that have happened in the past. To achieve this goal, title insurers perform an extensive search and examination of the public records to determine whether there are any adverse claims (title defects) attached to the subject property. Said defects/claims are either eliminated prior to the issuance of a title policy or their existence is excepted from coverage. Your policy is issued after the closing of your new home, for a one-time nominal fee, and is good for as long as you own the property.
Immediately contact your escrow officer and notify them if someone is unable to attend or sign the closing documents for any reason.
An escrow is an arrangement in which a neutral third party (the escrow agent) assembles and processes many of the components of a real estate transaction, records the transaction, and ultimately, disburses and distributes funds according to the buyers’, sellers’ and lenders’ instructions. Your transaction is typically closed by an Escrow Officer. People buying and selling real estate usually open an escrow for their protection and convenience. Both the buyer and seller rely on the escrow agent to carry out their written instructions relating to the transaction and to advise them if any of their instructions are not mutually consistent or cannot be carried out. If the instructions from all parties to an escrow party are clearly drafted, the escrow officer can proceed on behalf of the buyer and seller without further consultation. This saves much time and facilitates the closing of the transaction.
Bring government issued identification card like a driver’s license or passport. Identification, must include a picture and signature for notary purposes. In the event that you are a borrower some lenders require two forms of identification so it is always best to have two forms of identification with you.
