I am sending you a note to inform you that I passed the exam! Throughout the course you stressed the importance of learning concepts as opposed to memorizing information. Being able to articulate the meaning of the concepts was key to mastering the exam. To obtain the needed level of understanding and master the information required me to read the book twice, review the quizlets provided, watch the videos, and complete all exercises in the book. I read the material prior to each class. In addition, it was immensely helpful to Google familiar words to understand how they were used in relation to the course. Also, I found the study group beneficial. As a group we discussed why the answers were correct or incorrect. Our group would dissect the question and the answer. It is to be noted that the level of preparation is paramount to the results one will receive.
Lastly, I appreciate your professionalism, expertise, and ability to relay information in layman terms.
Regards,
Carla Andrews

Greetings Ms. Elaine,
I am so happy! I passed my TIPIC state license exam this morning. I was so determined not to fail. I was a student in your September pre-licensing course this Fall 2021. I carefully read your prelicensing handbook and studied the book at every opportunity. The Quizlet app was very useful and it allowed me to practice questions when I did not have my workbook or notes nearby. Thanks again for all your guidance!!
Best,
Camille A. Bryan, Ed.D.

What Is It Like to be a Title Insurance Producer Independent Contractor (TIPIC)?
TIPIC informational sessions are held by zoom Online monthly. Click here to view Informational Session Schedule.
A TIPIC must be commissioned as a Notary Public in Maryland in order to render services independently which may result in the issuance of a title insurance contract. Consequently, a Notary Public must meet the title licensing requirement in order to perform official duties at real estate closings or settlements.
As an independent contractor, the TIPIC is contracted by a "closing agent" to ensure that real estate loan products properly signed by the client, notarized by the notary and returned for processing in a timely manner. As an independent contractor, the TIPIC is also responsible for filing the proper tax forms with IRS.
The Home Loan Process
1. The borrower initiates the loan by contacting the lender and applying for the loan.
2. The lender processes the loan, contacts the closing agent, and funds the loan.
3. The closing agent, an independent third party authorized by the lender, performs the closing duties on the loan and acts as an implementer for the borrowers, often contracting Notary Signing Agents directly or indirectly through a signing service.
