Welcome to Meet My Team, a series of get-to-know-you interviews with the high-quality real estate professionals I work with regularly to provide the best possible service to my clients.
Craig is my title representative. I reach out to Craig when I need to order title reports for listings. Craig will review the title so that we can work out any issues that may appear in the report before the listing goes live. Craig also reviews my buyer’s title reports and alerts me to any red flags on the report that may limit their intended use of the property even if his company didn’t issue the title report. This is a very valuable service to buyers.
Craig Ellis has been with CW Title & Escrow for 15 years and has been in the title industry for 25 years. He lives in Bellevue with his wife Catherine of 25 years.
This week, Craig took time out of his busy schedule to tell us a little about his life and career.
Where from originally?
Born and raised in Seattle.
How did you get your start as an account executive?
I was initially a lender and was approached by a title company to join their sales force over 25 years ago. Best career move for me. CW Title is a locally owned company and as employees, we take pride in our company because it’s “our” company. We strive to be the best!
What do you like most about being an account executive?
Developing strong and loyal relationships with clients, and working to help them become successful in their business.
What is the number one question you get asked in your business and how do you answer it?
Q: Why do I need title insurance?
A: Title insurance is your protection in the event that a title error arises after a loan closing. This could, at the very least, mean a variety of legal costs, and, in a worst-case scenario, the loss of your property and the money you’ve put in it.
What do you like about working with Don?
Don is a true professional. He is thorough, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and always has his clients’ best interests at heart.
Tell us about your work in the community.
I’m an avid volunteer. My desire is to help better our communities either with dedicated time or financial assistance.
What motivates you to do this work?
I enjoy helping people. My goal is to provide prompt service and gain the trust of my clients.
What are you passionate about?
Good health and my family.
What are your hobbies?
Spending time with my family and staying active by taking advantage of local mountains, beaches, and sporting events. Anything that encompasses exercise. I enjoy the outdoors!
Tell us about your family:
My wife and I are celebrating 25th anniversary this year. We have a daughter Holly, 23 and a son Mark, 21.
What’s your favorite thing about Seattle?
Summer in Seattle. It’s hard to beat the perfect weather for enjoying the outdoors. Whether I’m running Green Lake, hiking Poo Poo Point to watch the hang gliders, or taking in the many festivals (when not in a pandemic), there is always something fun to do during our summers.
