New REALTOR - need help setting up service partner contacts

[Miles Stanley]

As stated, I'm a newly licensed REALTOR in San Antonio.  My primary motivation for getting my license was for my own investing purposes (sourcing leads, comps, showings, etc).  If i work with clients at all, it'll be in the future.

So i need to get to a point where i can quickly make my own offers.  For this, it seems i need to get a title company and a lender lined up.  I've worked with lenders before, but I'm a little stumped on how to select a title company.  What questions do i need to be asking them?  is this a formal process or do i just tell them "hey i want to use your company, what info do i put on the contract?"

Thanks
