Hallmark Abstract Service, New York, Michael HaltmanFrom Hallmark Abstract Service

As a believer in the use of social media for our business, Hallmark Abstract understands the importance of using Twitter and other SM outlets both as a source of critical real estate news, opinion and information as well as for its potential as a marketing tool!

First Twitter as a source of real estate information!

There is an enormous amount of relevant action that takes place on a daily basis in the New York City, Long Island and nationwide real estate communities as well as legislatively at City Hall, Albany and in town halls and state houses everywhere.

Too much for any one man, woman or company to effectively follow. But Following the ‘players’ who track, monitor and report on the important issues keeps you inside the critical loop of information.

Twitter as a potential marketing tool!

When a firm has news or company specific information to broadcast to the marketplace, social media and Twitter in particular play a key role in the process.

Your Followers will see it and hopefully click to it using the link provided and, more importantly, with the strategic use of hash-tags so will clients, prospects and the relevant people inside your industry.

And the potential motherlode of marketing, the Retweet by one of the aforementioned ‘players’, will give unimaginable exposure. Retweets by these individuals and companies are not very easy to come by but, when it occurs, will have been well worth the effort!

Hallmark Abstract Service provides title insurance for both residential and commercial real estate transactions in New York State.

Hallmark Abstract President Michael Haltman is also extremely involved with the combat veterans 501(c)(3) Heroes To Heroes Foundation, serving as the Board Chair.

Hallmark Abstract Service

In 2008 we opened our doors focused on two primary goals:

Number one was to be a title insurance company that would provide clients with a superior finished product that completely protects their interests for what will likely be one of the largest transactions of their lifetime.

Number two was to insure that the experience of working with Hallmark Abstract Service was as easy and seamless as possible for all parties involved in the transaction!

From the number of satisfied clients who come back to Hallmark Abstract Service time after time for their title insurance needs, the evidence bears out that we have accomplished these two goals in the past and will maintain our client centric focus far into the future!

Michael Haltman

Post 1984 MBA in Finance from the State University of New York at Albany that concentrated on the tax-exempt market, Michael became a municipal bond analyst at Shearson/Lehman Brothers tasked with following general obligation issuers on the city and state level as well as housing bonds secured by mortgage pools.

This experience at Shearson/Lehman Brothers followed by stints at PaineWebber and Citigroup provided a broad framework and understanding of the real estate and mortgage markets.

As CEO of Exeter Commercial which underwrote and funded commercial mortgage loans as a correspondent lender, title insurance played a critical role in both the underwriting and closing process.

In 2008 recognizing both an opportunity and need, Hallmark Abstract Service was born.
