When choosing a title partner, we know that stability is key. Which is why at Ohio Real Title we are proud to have offered that stability to our partners for more than 15 years, and have many professionals on our team who have been with us for nearly all of that time.
When asked to reflect on this past year, Ohio Real Title President, Ryan Marrie, says, “This has been a year of trying to manage day-to-day and week-to-week and I think we have done an amazing job of it. Real estate is going to be a driver for years to come and it will be fun to see the growth and opportunities that come.”
We are proud of the culture that we have created at ORT, and we are proud of our employees who make us the quality company that we are. Our team members play a huge role in our on-going success and we are thrilled to welcome two new Sales Reps.
Meet our newest team members, Sales Reps Dennis Bassett and Diane Scartz.
