Andrea Somers: A Visionary Redefining the Title Industry

The Fine Art of Redefining the Title Industry

In an industry long rooted in tradition and stability, Andrea Somers is a revolutionary force redefining what it means to lead. As the Operations Manager of Network Transaction Solutions (NTS), a pivotal back-office division of the Florida Agency Network (FAN), Somers is not merely challenging the norms—she is fundamentally transforming them.

A Game-Changer Behind the Scenes

Network Transaction Solutions is the quiet engine behind the title industry’s machine, providing essential support to over 750 title companies nationwide. While the work—from order entry and post closing, to RON/Mobile Closing services —may seem unglamorous, it is the bedrock of the industry’s daily operations.

Somers’s vision, however, extends far beyond streamlining back-office functions. She is on a mission to build the future leaders of the title industry, demonstrating that it is a field brimming with potential and opportunity. Her approach is not merely strategic but deeply personal. This dedication is exemplified by her partnership with the Future Career Academy, an initiative designed to introduce recent high school graduates to the professional world. 

Building Bridges to the Future

Somers's engagement with the Future Career Academy is more than a corporate gesture—it is a genuine effort to reshape perceptions of the industry. By bringing high school graduates into the NTS offices, she provides them with firsthand experience of the industry’s inner workings, showing them that it is more than just paperwork and procedural tasks.

Each year, Somers takes her message on the road, speaking at high schools and colleges, sharing her journey from an industry outsider to a leading innovator. Her efforts also include organizing tours of the NTS office for students nearing graduation, ensuring they experience the day-to-day operations of the business. This outreach is not just about recruitment; it’s about instilling a sense of possibility and demonstrating the power of innovation.

Pushing Boundaries and Building Camaraderie

Innovation at NTS is not confined to external outreach. Within the company, Somers and the Florida Agency Network foster a culture of fearlessness and adventure. NTS and FAN are known for their tradition of taking employees on adrenaline-pumping excursions—skydiving, shark swimming, zip lining. These activities are more than just team-building exercises; they are a testament to Somers’s belief that a dynamic work environment fosters a sense of family and shared purpose.

"We're not just a company—we’re a family," Somers asserts. "And families don’t only sit around the dinner table; they go on adventures together. We’re always looking for ways to stay relevant, to push the envelope, and to avoid complacency."

A Vision for a New Era

Under Andrea Somers’s leadership, NTS is not just navigating the future of the title industry—it is helping to actively shape it. Her commitment to innovation, combined with a dedication to fostering new talent, is transforming NTS into a model for where the industry is going. 

Somers’s story is a powerful reminder that real change comes from visionary leadership and an unwavering commitment to living it out day in and day out. As NTS continues to evolve, it stands as a testament to the power of daring to dream and the impact of embracing the unknown.

Because in this industry, standing still is no longer an option.

It’s time to evolve—or become a relic of the past.
