Here’s the shortcut to successful succession planning

Selling your title company

If you're working with title agents who are unsure how to approach succession planning, you're not alone. Thinking through a strategic exit that aligns with long-term goals is challenging—not to mention emotionally taxing.

Without a clear plan, your agents risk losing out on the value they've worked hard to build over the years.

That’s why Title Success—Powered by Bowe Digital is giving you these simple recommendations to make these succession plan conversations easier:

  • Encourage them to conduct an honest valuation of their business to understand its current worth.

  • Collaborate with them to outline what a successful exit looks like, whether it's passing the business on to a family member, selling it outright or merging with another title company.

  • Work with them to identify potential successors or buyers and determine their qualifications.

  • Help them create a transition plan, whether that includes training new management or restructuring operations.

  • Make sure their finances and records are organized and transparent.

With a strategic succession plan in place, your agents can confidently move forward, knowing their future is secured and their legacy will be preserved. If they need help executing their plan, we’re always here to help.
