Presenter: Melinda Fravel, Vice President | Title Services Manager | Abstract Officer

Shortly after graduation, Melinda Fravel began her title insurance career at a title agency preparing commitments. She excelled in her role and quickly rose to lead typist, coordinating recordings on a national level. In 1999, she started with Southern Title as a back title clerk where she coordinated title searches on a statewide basis. In 2004, Melinda began a new search department at LandAmerica/Transnation until 2008.

In 2008, Melinda started with Old Republic Title in Virginia where she has serviced the title industry as Abstract Officer and Title Services Manager, and now Vice President, for the past 17 years. Her department is responsible for providing all related services to title exams for the benefit of title insurance. During her tenure, she has mentored not only clients, but many internal personnel within Old Republic Title.

Outside of her role, Melinda also serves as chair of the title examination section committee for the Virginia Land Title Association from 2019 to present. With a total of 29 years of experience in the title industry, Melinda’s expertise in all aspects of a production department is second to none.

In her free time, Melinda loves live music and can frequently be found supporting local musicians. For the past 20 years, she's been the proud owner of 110 acres, and spends any additional time working on projects and enjoying the land.
