One of ATG's goals as a lawyer service organization is to help our members promote their services. As part of this effort, ATG hosted "ATG After Hours," a reception at Lauren Abigail's Tea Room, Jerseyville, Illinois, to inform area Realtors® and lenders of the way ATG, its members, lenders, and realtors work together to serve clients. Jerry Gorman, ATG Senior Vice President, Downstate Operations, gave a brief presentation on the benefits of working with ATG member attorneys: expertise from an experienced professional; competitive title insurance and closing rates; closings in any location; timely delivery of title commitments, policies, and closing figures; and phone access to ATG underwriters before and during closings.
