Title to the future is to go big

Longtime real estate title executive Aaron Davis senses a big shift coming in his industry, and he's determined to get in front of it.

“There are two guys, and their names are Dodd and Frank,” Davis quips, referring to 2010 federal financial reform legislation. “I've been in this business for 20 years, and the changes coming will change the landscape of the title business and the way business is done.”

Davis is president and CEO of Plant City-based HT Family of Companies, which encompasses five separate title agency brands with 15 locations across the Tampa region. Davis' answer to coming regulatory changes is the Florida Agency Network.
