Okay, let’s tackle this. So Patricia has over 30 years of experience in the title industry, which is a specialized field. Her skills like process improvement, sales, and leadership are valuable, but not extremely rare. Location is Baltimore, MD, which is not a major hub for the title industry. According to national averages, title assistants with similar experience can earn around $50–$75 per hour. Considering her level of experience and industry, I’ll estimate her hourly rate to be on the higher end of that range, around $75.
