The Florida Agency Network (FAN), a network of independent title agencies, named Andrea Somers as its compliance officer, helping to guide FAN and its embodying agencies smoothly through the current era of heightened compliance expectations and requirements.
“With all of the growth and expansion, as well as changes to our industry, it only makes sense to have a dedicated compliance officer on hand. Andrea is well versed in the underlying regulations within our industry. She will be a great asset to our team,” FAN CEO Aaron Davis said in a news release.
As a licensed title agent in the state of Florida for more than 14 years, with proficiency in creating, and training in, corporate policies and procedures, Somers brings the knowledge, experience, and expertise necessary to ensure all compliance regulations are met within FAN, the company said. Entering the title world in 2001, she worked her way through the ranks to become national vendor manager at TransContinental Title Co. In that role, she managed third-party vendors nationwide, including all notary signing agents and title abstractors. In 2010, she began managing several different departments within New House Title, LLC, including contracts, processing, closing, funding and post closing.
“I am so thrilled and honored to be working with such a talented group of people at the Florida Agency Network,” Somers said. “It’s amazing to see the dedication everyone has towards being the industry leader in the state of Florida. I’m proud to be a part of the FAN family!”
As FAN’s compliance officer, she will monitor the application of compliance requirements throughout the FAN agencies, ensuring all employees and vendors adhere to established procedures to safeguard the Non-Public Private Information (NPPI) of all clients and partners.
