WFG National Title Deepens Underwriting Support for Mid-Atlantic Agents
WFG National Title Insurance Company (“WFG National Title”), Santa Barbara, Calif., has announced that Ed Trope will serve as State Underwriting Counsel for agents in Virginia and Maryland. WFG National Title is a national, full service provider of title insurance and real estate settlement services for lender, commercial and residential transactions. The Williston Financial Group family of title insurers is currently licensed and operating in 40 jurisdictions nationwide.
Trope will support WFG National Title’s agencies in Maryland and Virginia on underwriting matters. He comes to the company with 33 years of legal experience focusing on the settlement services and real estate industry, most recently as the owner and manager of his own law firm for 11 years.
Trope previously spent ten years as Vice President, Counsel and Agency manager for one of the industry’s largest underwriters, managing operations for the company’s Richmond agency office. He earned his J.D. at T.C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond; and holds a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Virginia.
