Alliant National Hires Florida Senior Underwriting Counsel
November 5, 2024
Alliant National Title Insurance Co. hired Valerie Grandin as vice president and senior underwriting counsel for Florida.
In her new role, Grandin will be tasked with developing educational programming and partnering with Alliant National Title’s Florida agents to increase their market share through unique business development strategies and product offerings.
She comes to Alliant National from a national underwriter, where she oversaw strategic initiatives, served as the primary point of contact for lender agreements, created agent and counsel training programs and coordinated regulatory compliance projects. In addition, she helped agents expand their capabilities and grow their businesses, while also leading continuing education programs for underwriters and examiners.
“I have been blessed to work with and know the team at Alliant National for many years,” Grandin said. “To be joining them now, as the market is on the cusp of expansion and when Alliant National has assembled a great team, is a dream come true. Highly professional, agent-focused and people-centric, it is a tremendous place to excel in an industry I love so much. Great things are ahead as we work together with our agents to drive greater business success.”
Grandin is an active member of the American Land Title Association and Florida Land Title Association, where she serves on the Government Affairs committee, which is currently working on the new 2025 FinCEN anti-money laundering rule for real estate.
In addition, Grandin sits on the advisory board of the University of Miami School of Law LLM in real property development.
“Valerie is a consummate professional and a true industry leader. We couldn’t be happier to welcome her to our growing team,” said Jeff Stein, chief underwriting counsel at Alliant National. “With her extensive experience in underwriting, education, management, compliance and business development, I know she will do great things for our agents and play an important role in the future of Alliant National.”
