WFG National Title Insurance Co. named Elizabeth Bobo vice president of its National Transportation Division to help grow the division. WFG National Title is a national title insurance underwriting company and a full service provider of title insurance and real estate settlement services for commercial and residential transactions nationwide.
In her new role, Bobo will spearhead the nationwide expansion of WFG’s National Transportation Division — the only fully staffed group in the industry focused exclusively on transportation, public-private partnerships and right-of-way title work nationwide. She has served as a commercial escrow assistant, a commercial right-of-way administrator and commercial right-of-way escrow officer. Before entering the title industry, Bobo worked with a Fort Worth-based mortgage company as an FHA and Conventional Insuring Clerk and Quality Control Agent. Since coming to the title industry in 1980, she also has been a residential escrow officer, managed a national title desk and participated in a national task force for one of the industry’s largest underwriters.
“Elizabeth has established herself as one of the leading experts on land acquisition, title clearing and settlement services surrounding Right of Way (ROW) and government transportation initiatives,” said Patrick Stone, president and CEO of Williston Financial Group, WFG National Title Company’s parent company. “Her extensive experience in this unique segment will serve clients in all markets and establish WFG as an industry leader in helping government entities effectively interact with private land owners. Her professionalism will ensure that government entities and private landowners will achieve ownership transfer in a timely manner and with the least amount of disruption possible.”
“It takes quite some time to build a transportation division,” Bobo said. “I still remember my early days of working as a one person department. The fact that WFG is able to support a sizable staff so extensively experienced with this unique field speaks volumes to our dedication to this market. Our clients known that this division, a rarity among transportation groups, does absolutely nothing but right-of-way related transactions, and they can be confident that there isn’t a challenge or obstacle we haven’t seen and overcome before.”
