BrokerIPTV Real Estate News and Videos

BrokerIPTV: We are on the floor here at Inman Connect in New York 2008 and I am with Travis Wright. Travis Wright is in charge of Stewart Transactions Solutions and Travis why don't you tells us a little bit about, how your SureClose product can really help say make the year 2008 a little bit better for transactions for brokers?

Travis Wright: I would be happy to, thank you Mark. Yesterday Brad Inman opening the conference was talking about the importance of transparency, the real estate transaction and we have a lot of title companies and certainly Stewart Title, but lot of real estate brokers too that are actually using SureClose to bring transparency to the transaction. SureClose is a web-based software application that allows the process of the real estate transaction and the indexing of the documents, digital documents that are required in transaction to be available password of secure availability to buyers and sellers and all the parties to the transaction. So Stewart has had transaction, I am sorry, Stewart has had the SureClose application for five years now and we have been using it internally in all of our Stewart Title offices, now we make it available real estate brokers nationally.

BrokerIPTV: Great how many brokers you think are involved with the SureClose product?

Travis Wright: Today we have approximately 200 real estate companies through out the United States are using SureClose, brokers of all size from offices of 35, 40 offices down the single office operations, we have over 800 Stewart Title offices that are using SureClose every day and in the title network process, we recently partnered with the Arizona Association of Realtors, who have a grand vision of implementing SureClose but all 5400 other brokers over the next three to four years, so yeah very exciting.

BrokerIPTV: Couple of other things Brad talked about video, he talked about social network, he talked about transparency of course, he also talked about the market. So if this was the Travis Wright show, what do you think you would be concerned or want brokers to know about in the future?

Travis Wright: Well, you know the market conditions are what they are, none of us can control the market conditions, but we can certainly control, how we conduct our business, both with our partners, our vendors and most importantly, I think with our prospects and customers. Next day business is real important to everybody right now and so with the decline in the market situation and my advice would be, make the most out of every opportunity you have with any customer, any prospect and any business partner you work with.

BrokerIPTV: Excellent Travis, thank you very much for your time.

Travis Wright: With pleasure, thank you.
