You will win your independence and be doing solo deals in no time.

We are an independent insurance agent and have a number of commercial insurance companies that can take a look at your property.

Of course, they seem incredibly attractive, charming, lovely, nice ROI, but the simple reality is that they are usually sold as lifestyle businesses to independent buyers, or as portfolio properties to existing rural / boutique hotel groups.

On Friday, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) overruled one of its own decisions from 2014 to make it easier for a company to establish that a worker should be treated as an independent contractor instead of as an employee.

I am getting confused...Please correct me if I am wrong but my understanding was:A warranty deed is a deed where the prior owner states to the new owner he has a bundle of right and transfers it to the new owner.A quit claim deed, is a deed where the prior owner just states that he transfers his rights of the property without claiming that he has any.In the first case, you can sue the prior owner if some rights are later found not valid, in the second case you can't as no statement of ownership of any rights was made.The title insurance is independent of the deed.

However, if you want to go this route, and don't have the same level of trust, you can always set up a small escrow account with an independent third party (such as an attorney). 

First year, i was at a independent brokerage as a part time agent and i felt so lost in the business.

I'm a real estate agent/independent contractor for a large brokerage, right now.

You're either an employee getting a W-2, or an independent contractor getting a 1099.

The underwriter would probably also want an attorney or CPA to independently verify in writing that this happened and is the current structure.
