East Texas Title Companies appointed two new vice presidents.
Diana Perez has been promoted to vice president of operations while Lara Easley moves up to the role of vice president of partnerships.
“These ladies have been with the title company for many years, both starting as receptionists in field offices,” Executive Vice President and General Manager Jennifer Paul said in a release. “They have consistently demonstrated can-do attitudes and have made significant contributions to our company, which has resulted in many stair-step promotions along the way. I am so pleased to add them to our leadership team.”
As vice president of operations, Perez is responsible for daily operations of the title companies, streamlining processes and mentoring employees responsible for client satisfaction from contract to close.
She joined East Texas Title Companies in 2009 as receptionist in its Jacksonville, Fla., office. Perez had served as director of operations for the past four years.
Easley takes over as vice president of partnerships after starting with East Texas Title Companies at its Canton, Texas, office in 2000 as a receptionist.
Since that time, she has worked in the commitment department and the policy department, most recently serving as out-of-office closing and title evidence team manager. Easley will expand that role to business partnerships locally and throughout multiple counties in Texas.
“Our constant goal is to delight our clients, so it is absolutely necessary for people in these positions to understand every nuance of the title industry,” co-owner Erica Hallmark said. “These individuals have worked for East Texas Title Companies for many years in a variety of positions and have learned the industry and our company from the ground up. They have played an integral role in where we’ve been and will continue to do so in the future.”
