February is not just about Valentine's Day chocolates and romantic gestures; it's also about spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. And boy, did we have an amazing time doing just that with our February Giveback! This month, we teamed up with the incredible For The Kids nonprofit to make a difference in the lives of children in our community. And let us tell you, it was a heartwarming experience from start to finish. First things first, our team rolled up their sleeves and dove straight into action. We spent a day volunteering, packing a whopping 100 meals to be delivered to those in need. The joy of knowing that these meals would bring smiles to the faces of children warmed our hearts in ways we can't even describe. But we didn't stop there! Oh no, we were just getting started. With our sleeves still rolled up and our spirits soaring, our very own Joe packed the truck with all those delicious deliveries for that Friday. The excitement was palpable as we imagined the happiness these meals would bring to families across our community. And guess what? Our amazing supporters rallied behind us in full force! Through their generosity, we collected over 100 additional items to donate to For The Kids. From canned goods to pantry staples, every single donation meant the world to us and to those we're helping. As we reflect on our February Giveback journey, we can't help but feel overwhelmingly grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Grateful for the support of our community. And most of all, grateful for the chance to spread love in every way we can. It's worth mentioning that our dedication to For The Kids goes way back – we supported their mission back in 2021, and we're committed to continuing this beautiful partnership for years to come. To everyone who volunteered, donated, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines – thank you. Thank you for believing in the power of kindness. Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Together, we're making the world a brighter, happier place, one meal and one smile at a time.

Novation Title Insurance has always taken a unique approach to supporting its employees' mental health. Specially during the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month. This year's Health Challenge is Health is Wealth!! And we also have our Nova Book Club, typically once a month we pick a new book depending on our quarterly theme. This quarter's theme is health!! so these two, go hand in hand this month. Our goal for the health challenge is to hold each other accountable for our choices and work on our health as a team. We encourage each other to make positive changes in our daily habits and routines( which means bye bye chip cookies!). We also keep track of all of our daily activities such as exercise, meditation, and healthy eating for points. The team member with the most points at the end wins a trip gifted by Novation! Our Nova Book Club choice this month is Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy by Mo Gawdat. It's the perfect tool to support our health challenge and Mental Health Awareness. One of our favorite quotes so far: “Rise above the clutter of though, grasp life for what it truly is, and you’ll perpetually live in a state of joy.” Remember, that voice in your head is NOT you!! Take control of your mind and life and actually enjoy it. By prioritizing our mental health and wellbeing, our Novation Team can tackle the hard questions and continue to grow together through any challenge we might face. We truly love what we do because it is a choice we make everyday. We choose to redefine what our industry holds as standard. We choose to be the difference we want to see in the world. This Health is Wealth Challenge and Nova book club are just a few of the many ways that Novation has created a supportive work environment that is redefining what it means to work in the Title Industry. Find out more ways to redefine YOUR title experience with our team!

Today we are talking about the topic on everyone's mind: THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. Salt Lake City is seeing a remarkable rebound after a challenging years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the economic uncertainties and shifting market trends, there are signs of growth and optimism in Real Estate. Here are some of the reasons why we believe the real estate industry in Salt Lake City is getting better and why there is a reason to be hopeful about the future. One of the most significant factors contributing to the growth of the Salt Lake is the city's thriving economy. Utah's low unemployment rate and a diverse range of industries, including technology, healthcare, and financial services help our state thrive. This has translated into a stable real estate market, with property values appreciating at a steady pace. Another contributing factor is the respectful culture and caring community. Salt lake is home to a vibrant arts scene, a thriving food scene, and an active outdoor recreation community, making it a desirable place to live. This has led to increased demand for housing, and as a result, home prices have been on the rise. Additionally, the state's low tax rates, affordable cost of living, and high quality of life make it an attractive destination for both businesses and residents. This has led to a steady influx of people and businesses, driving up the demand for real estate properties. Developers are responding to this demand by building new properties, including commercial and residential real estate. Finally, the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of technology in the real estate industry, making it easier for buyers and sellers to transact remotely. Real estate agents are leveraging technology to market properties, conduct virtual tours, and facilitate online transactions, making the process of buying and selling homes more convenient and accessible. The real estate industry in Salt Lake City, Utah, is seeing a resurgence, with a stable market, increased demand, and new development projects on the horizon. The strong economy, thriving culture, and technological advancements are contributing to the industry's growth and development. Whether you are a real estate investor, developer, or homeowner, there is a reason to be optimistic about the future of the real estate industry in Salt Lake.

Millennials that were slow to make the transition from renting to owning a home are making up for lost time. This demographic has become a powerful force in the home buying market. The 66 million Millennials in the U.S. now range in age between 24 and 42, which puts them firmly in that “sweet spot” for homebuyers. In fact, Millennials are expected to form 25 million new households by 2025. Whether they are shopping for a first home, upgrade or relocation, Millennials are the fastest growing group of homebuyers. According to the National Association of REALTORS, Millennials represent 43 percent of all homebuyers. “Millennials are a critical audience to win based on their buying power, and the secret to winning them over starts with understanding them better,” says Katie Smith, executive director of field excellence at Doma, a title & escrow company. Meeting Millennials where they live – online Millennials grew up in the Internet age, and they are accustomed to seamless, on-demand digital experiences. They use smartphones to order everything from a mocha latte to furniture, and increasingly, they are relying on mobile apps for a variety of important transactions, such as banking, financial planning and managing their healthcare. Millennials not only want the convenience of being able to transact at any time and from anywhere, they want that real-time result. “This is not a generation that knows what it’s like to actually drive to a Blockbuster in order to rent a movie and battle for the last copy of that latest release. They are used to clicking a button from the coziness of their couch and PJs to stream that movie instantly,” says Mini Peiris, Doma’s chief marketing officer. Millennials bring those same expectations with them when it comes to that home-buying and home-closing experience, she adds. This generation also demands transparency into transactions and instant communication. When they place that Amazon order, they receive that immediate order confirmation text or email, and they expect notifications every step of the way from when the time it leaves the warehouse to when it arrives on their doorstep. Last, but certainly not least, is social media. This is where Millennials live. It is critical for real estate professionals to be familiar with and comfortable navigating the Big Four social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and LinkedIn – so that they can engage and connect with those potential clients, notes Doma Managing Director Julie Shroyer. Streamlining the closing experience Serving the Millennial customer requires delivering information and an overall experience that is fast, convenient and frictionless. Education: Many Millennials are first-time buyers. As such, it is important to explain the escrow process and answer questions. For example, not everyone knows what an easement is or why it’s important. Doma has easy-to-use guides to walk clients through important parts of the closing process, like title prelims and signing. These guides, along with consistent updates from Doma throughout the process, help agents build confidence and trust with their clients. “Being transparent and focusing on educating clients at every step of the process goes a long way to building trust with millennials and that will keep them coming back to you for any and all future transactions as well,” says Shroyer. Technology: Real estate professionals need to be able to engage digitally with clients and leverage technology tools to provide a better experience. Doma has patented machine intelligence that can return title prelims within minutes rather than days as is the norm with most title companies. “That quick turnaround allows the real estate professional to review the document with their client more quickly,” says Smith. Doma also provides proactive notifications and on-demand digital access that gives the homebuyer visibility and a sense of control into the entire transaction, she adds. Flexibility: When it comes to the closing, flexibility is the key. Millennials don’t necessarily want to be stuck in a small room at a specifically scheduled day and time. They want options. Some prefer to be fully in person so someone is there to walk them through page by page and answer questions, whereas others might prefer to be fully remote with a remote online notary (RON) from the comfort of their home – or a hybrid of the two. Doma helps agents accommodate the right closing option for their clients early in the process, and ensures that documents are sent to all parties with as much review time as possible so that millennial homebuyers feel prepared and comfortable on one of the most important days of their lives – closing day. Any realtor knows that between that euphoric moment when your offer is accepted to the celebration on move-in day, there can be a lot of pain points in between. Frankly, title and escrow can be a tedious and frustrating part of the closing process. However, it doesn’t have to be, notes Shroyer. Real estate professionals can help to bridge the gap. “Your clients look to you as the informed expert guiding them through the entire home-buying process,” she says. “Working with title and escrow partners who can help you create a differentiated experience leaves a lasting positive impression that helps to generate referrals and repeat business.” As read on TheRealDeal (New York Real Estate News) https://trd.media/ny/Onat5Y

Novation’s Super Nova Club was started in 2016 as a way to recognize our team and the individuals who work so hard to make our company what it is today. We love each and every member of our team! We wouldn’t be who we are without them. Our success as a company comes from supporting the dreams and goals of each team and this year we had 3 of our Escrow Officers in our Super Nova Club: Joe Cespedes, Kristi Bowdish and Cyndi Burrola. This year our team also nominated our licensed Escrow Assistant Addie Fanning! They went above and beyond in 2021 to provide excellent customer service and really redefine the experience of Title for their clients. Together they explored Puerto Vallarta to celebrate all their goals met and surpassed. After a 4 day trip enjoying the beach, incredible food and leisure time as a group they’ve come home refreshed and ready to take on 2022 and all the growth it has to offer. We are so passionate about our business but we are even more passionate about our Novation FAM! Having this opportunity to empower and inspire each of them to become the best they can be is what our values are all about. We work together, we grow together and we have fun together!
