In this episode of The Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, host Tim Fergestad welcomes John Lotardo, known across Arizona and beyond as “The Titleman.” With over 35 years in real estate and title law, John shares his journey from law school in Arizona to becoming one of the state’s most respected title underwriters.

Tim and John dive into how the title industry really works — from title searches and escrow to protecting property owners through title insurance. John explains common misconceptions about what title professionals do and why their work is essential for every successful real estate deal.

Beyond the technical side, John opens up about legacy, mentorship, and building a career that balances expertise with personal growth. He discusses his transition into consulting, his mentorship initiatives for young professionals, and his deep connection to Italy, where he now holds dual citizenship.

Listeners will gain not only insights into real estate and title work, but also practical wisdom on success, stress, and letting your career evolve naturally over time.
