Why “Opportunity”?
Because that’s what has been missing for many diverse Americans. It’s time for the CRE industry to actively open doors, provide training, tools, and support, and better share the responsibilities and benefits that define commercial real estate in our communities–for all of us. Opportunity Land Services is building a win-win impact model of change for the title insurance industry, which struggles with both diversity (< 3% of the senior executives are diverse) and an aging workforce.
What Is Opportunity Land Services?
Opportunity Land Services (Opportunity) is a vendor solution for diversity-supporting CRE players to actively support greater diversity in the settlement supply chain, mirroring their own leadership’s public commitments.
Opportunity will provide BEST-IN-CLASS TITLE AND ESCROW SERVICES
As an innovative start-up led by experienced professionals from the title and other financial service industries, and supported by some of the largest investors in the world, we will adopt state-of-the-art business engineering, grow our own talent, and build a unique culture highlighted by diversity, youth, performance, and innovation. Title insurance distribution has been done in the same way for decades–it’s time for meaningful change. Our diversity-driven approach will be a win-win for the industry, our team, and the community.
OPPORTUNITY WILL ACTIVELY WORK TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY IN THE TITLE SUPPLY CHAIN.
Our seasoned leadership team will recruit, mentor and sponsor young professionals from traditionally under-resourced communities, and set them up for sustainable careers in title insurance. Sponsors, lenders, LPs, and law firms can immediately impact their diversity goals by naming Opportunity Land Services as a co-insurer, and later a lead, in their closings–at no expense.
