"No two title deals are ever alike," said Christine Favara. Having worked on properties throughout the country and across the globe, Favara has experienced any number of unique scenarios. "International transactions are particularly interesting because you learn so much about how real estate and title laws change outside of the U.S." That love of learning new things has served Favara well. After graduating from University of Vermont, she started a position as an assistant to a National Title Coordinator at a title agency in Manhattan. Soon after, she earned her JD from New York Law School. Favara believes that learning to balance what one's been taught and the ability to learn on one's own is critically important when starting out in this field. So is continuing to learn. "This is an evolving industry; one needs to stay on top of constantly changing developments. I go to workshops, courses, and conventions to stay current on developing trends." she said. Favara credits her mother, Ava, with instilling her personal confidence, and she found a great mentor in Monique Sage, the National Title coordinator she assisted just out of school. Favara recently joined Advantage Title-a firm respected industry-wide for achieving a high level of success in insuring residential and commercial real estate transactions throughout New York State, nationally and internationally. "Advantage's exceptional legal staff includes some of the most accomplished attorneys in this business. Their client focused approach to title insurance made us a perfect match."
