Interview with The Title Report

Joshua Cahill’s first job in the settlement services industry was as a title insurance recording clerk and receptionist. Nominated by a few professionals, Joshua has been described as a young professional who has shown a lot of foresight in starting FreeTitleQuote.com, a network of title companies who can offer their rates directly to consumers. “Josh is the quintessential young entrepreneur,” said nominator Edward Conrad, Esq., with Dye, Deitrich, Prather, Petruff & St. Paul, P.L. “He has an admirable drive for success and an extraordinary knowledge of the real estate and title insurance industries. I’ve been able to witness him build an expansively successful company in Florida, but he’s already expanding outside the state. This tenacity, with sound corporate forethought, deserves the attention of his peers and the interested public at large.”
