Each quarter, SoftPro sponsors [*Trendsetters*](https://www.thetitlereport.com/Trendsetters.aspx?srcaud=TTR)[by October Research](https://www.thetitlereport.com/Trendsetters.aspx?srcaud=TTR). This series focuses on professionals in the title insurance industry who have made a significant impact and emerged as leaders, demonstrating their passion for the industry in everything they do professionally. 

This quarter, *Trendsetters *features Brent Laliberte, owner and president of [Bayou Title](https://www.bayoutitle.com/). 

When you read the full *Trendsetters* report, you'll see how Brent took career-changing risks that have paid off. His first risk was making a big career change, pivoting from a position high-up in a finance company to starting from scratch working on real estate title closings. From there, he built his confidence in the industry, and after a year and a half, started his own title company. Under his leadership, Bayou Title has grown to 20 offices with around 125 employees and is now the largest title company in the state of Louisiana. Brent and his wife Kathy have built Bayou Title into a true family business: their four children also work within the company!

Brent is an inspirational leader in the industry who has made incredible strides to grow his company. Read his full story to learn:

- How he began his career working part-time at a finance company.
- How the death of his mentor at the finance company caused Brent to shift his career focus.
- How he credits his wife, Kathy, with his introduction to the title industry.
- How Brent and Kathy's combined industry knowledge built a strong foundation for Bayou Title.
- How he attributes the company's success to strong relationships and his team's willingness to work their hardest every day.
